Jett Woo
A mobile defender who enjoys engaging physically.
Cross Hanas
Playmaking winger with good puck handling ability who is willing to engage in puck battles. Needs to improve his skating mechanics but his hockey sense and puck skills give him middle-six upside.
Quinn Schmiemann
Two-way defenseman with above average puck moving ability, Schmiemann is a good passer and defender and may be able to carve out a role as a depth NHL defenseman.
Maxence Guénette
Late-round pick who has seemed to have been worth the flyer to this point. A steady defender who doesn't have a true standout skill.
Lassi Thomson
Offensive right-handed shot defenseman with top-four upside. Very good skater with excellent compete level. Has a great shot from the blue line. Needs to work on his defensive game.
Chandler Romeo
He’s a tall, lanky kid that skates well for his size, but his offensive ceiling will be capped fairly low. He could be a bottom-pairing defensive defenseman.
Brandt Clarke
A dynamic offensive defender who could have the highest ceiling of any player in the 2021 draft class. He has good size but needs to fill out his frame and his skating is elite. A potential number one defenseman in the future.
Akil Thomas
Highly skilled and very fast center despite a lower than average size. Great puck control abilities. Much better and stronger forechecker than his size would suggest.
Vsevolod Komarov
An offensive defender who is not particularly mobile, but uses strength in the crease defensively. Can be caught chasing plays. Has dramatically improved his offensive game since arriving in North America.
