Clarke Caswell
Playmaking specialist with decent hustle and vision. Rounding out his toolkit could see him become a middle-six forward.
Basile Sansonnens
Big, mobile defensive defenseman that keeps the puck out of the net. Plays on the penalty kill, uses an active stick to prevent chances. Brings value to leagues that value takeaways, blocked shots.
Parker Alcos
Smooth skating defenseman with good defensive instincts. Gets back in transition and shuts down attacking players. Improvements to his offensive game can elevate his value. Worth a look in leagues that use takeaways.
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.

Jacob Julien
Big, intelligent, offense-minded center. Has an underrated offensive game. Battles hard and is well-positioned off the puck. Has middle-six two-way center potential that can contribute to powerplay and penalty kill units.
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.
