Maxmilian Curran
Intelligent playmaking center who can exploit gaps and work the cycle down low. Needs to work on both his physical and mental pace to be an NHLer, but could carve out a bottom-six role.
Markus Loponen
An intelligent, responsible, two-way center. Not a high-end scorer, but possesses a good wrist shot, providing some goal-scoring ability. Has limited upside and is off the fantasy radar, even in deep leagues.
Jan Goličič
A giant 6-6 defenseman who plays physical and hits everything he can. Is good on defense and shows deception in his offensive game. Has a heavy slapshot and quick release. Agility and skating are poor, which is by far his limiting factor. Could hold value in deep dynasty leagues that account for PIM. Will be a long-term project.
Ben Merrill
Big centreman with an NHL-calibre shot. Needs to address major skating deficiencies in order to push for a bottom-six role.
Jesse Nurmi
Creative offensive forward who plays with a surprising amount of energy. Will need to add some weight, but could become a third-line checking winger at his best.
Nolan Burke
Offense-first forward who thrives in the opposition's zone. Needs to improve his defensive game.
Jett Luchanko
High-motor forward with natural athletic abilities and a knack for middle drives. Limited puck skills, but projects as a top-nine energy winger.
Tyler Boucher
Boucher plays a physical game and willingly goes to the dirty areas. He has a good shot that he can get off from in tight. Boucher has the potential to evolve into a power forward at the NHL level.
Angus Crookshank
High offensive instincts cannot be denied, as he always seems to be in the right spot at the right time. Solid shot and hands in tight. Not a super well rounded game, but if he gets put in a favourable situation in Ottawa with strong linemates, he could present moderate value in PPR leagues focusing on point production.
Ryerson Leenders
An smaller, acrobatic goalie that makes his saves through great reflexes and efficient movement.
