Étienne Morin
Playmaking defenseman with interesting offensive tools. Decision-making and footwork need to improve to unlock his potential as a fourth or fifth defenseman.
David Spacek
Strong two-way defenseman who is capable of putting up points but also playing great shutdown defensive hockey.
Kyle Masters
Puck-moving defenseman who utilizes his strong skating to help cover the weak side on both the offensive and defensive side of the puck. He has great vision, especially on the first pass outside of the zone.
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.
Matyas Sapovaliv
Big-bodied playmaker with good vision and puck protection skills. Will need to improve his mobility and processing speed as he matures but has middle-six NHL potential.
Chase Wheatcroft
Chase Wheatcroft is a productive top-six center with a high offensive ceiling. Great playmaker with a strong wrist shot. He is an elite finisher with great vision.
Frédéric Brunet
Heavily involved on the offensive side of the game, active in the attacking zone and effective at creating opportunities from the point.
Lucas Ciona
Ciona is a big left winger who likes to use his size to his advantage. A smart player who knows how to score.
Christoffer Sedoff
Sedoff has worked his behind off for the chance to prove himself with an NHL team, and it’s unlikely he did so in hopes of a fruitful career playing back in his native Finland. If the offense he’s shown at the tail end of his junior career sticks, it’s easy to envision Sedoff as a bottom-four powerplay specialist in the NHL.
