Josh Davies
A hard-hitting pest who racks up penalty minutes and adds a scoring touch. Think Cal Clutterbuck with less discipline and a bit more skill.
Maxim Barbashev
Barbashev is a physical forward who plays with an edge, and is an extremely tough player to play against. He has good offensive skills and a good shot, but will need to work on developing consistency in his game.
Brandon Lisowsky
Undersized goal-scorer with tremendous compete — second-line potential with a fallback game as a bottom-six checking forward.
Jeremy Langlois
A smart, puck-moving defenseman who has an excellent shot.
Michael Buchinger
Mobile two-way defender who moves the puck efficiently. Potential 4-6 defenceman at the NHL level.
Jorian Donovan
His size, skating and pedigree have exceeded his actual play on the ice so far in his young career. He just needs more time to improve and develop in the OHL.
Ridly Greig
Blending skill and grit, Greig is one of the best pests in his draft class. He may not be an outright bruiser but he is certainly able to get under his opponent's skin and then score a goal to add salt to the wound.
Ben Hemmerling
A smart offensive decision maker with a knack for play-making, he will need to avoid being pushed to the perimeter to create offense as a pro without a high level shot. If he gets stronger and perhaps a bit more agile in small areas, he could become a water-bug type of bottom-six contributor
