Brayden Burke
Like many small, offensively talented players, Burke is a sink or swim at the next level. He could be the next Johnny Gaudreau or fizzle off like many similar players.

A power-play specialist who isn’t afraid to unload his shot from anywhere on the ice. An elusive skater who is credited with a tremendous work ethic and a strong two-way game. Built solid, although size remains a question mark.
Scoring defenceman who chips in some peripheral stats as well
Smart un-drafted forward with middle-six upside.
A silky smooth playmaker who reads the ice at an advanced level. He has some warts away from the puck as with most small wingers but if a team is willing to bank on his skill, they could get a solid winger who excels with a good triggerman.
A converted forward it’s no wonder that Vande Sompel operates extremely well as an offensive defenseman with high-end puck moving abilities. He’s not terrible defensively but it’s an area that will need continued focus in order to ensure he experiences success at the next level.
A sturdy two-way defenseman who supports the play well and could be capable of moderate contributions in the NHL.
Rapidly ascending physical center with instinctive scoring touch. With increased skating speed he may do some impressive NHL damage.
A big defender that can contribute offensively but seems content on staying in Russia for the foreseeable future.
Large-framed athletic goaltender with strong lateral movement. Relies heavily on his reflexes to make desperation saves.
