Offense-first, right-shot defenseman who drives a power play with his skating and distribution, and the most productive blueliner in his draft class at the U20 level. The size is the risk, but the fantasy ceiling is a power-play-running top-four defender, the highest of this group.
A more diminutive playmaking winger with a quick release that doesn't shy away from being physical. He needs to get stronger on the puck and in the corners, and overall, he needs to be more challenging to play against.
Former first round pick who had excited fantasy circles, but hasn't latched on to an NHL opportunity.
A reliable two-way defenseman with a high hockey IQ and excellent passing ability but lacks high-end skill.
A big goaltender who is excellent at covering both the bottom and top of the net simultaneously. Tracks the puck well, which allows him to stay in position and react to one-timers.
A high motor, high pace forward that competes hard.
Hardworking and dynamic playmaking centre with two-way upside.
A skilled shooter whose low motor and lack of involvement in building play could keep him from hitting the NHL despite a strong offensive tool to build around.
An excellent skater whose game is built around his mobility and frame. While his offensive skillset is not the most robust, he could put up points when relied upon. He could become an NHLer who can produce on the bottom pair in sheltered minutes.
Smaller winger who dominates in transition with his skating and handling.
