Harrison Brunicke
Smart two-way defenceman with solid mobility, polished habits and flashes of a growing offensive game. Production is unimpressive, but the tools scream second-pair, do-it-all blue-liner.
Ben Danford
Well-rounded, mobile right-handed blue liner with good poise and breakout skill. Lack of offensive engagement and overall awareness limit his game, but has #4-5 upside.
Cole Beaudoin
Strong, puck-cycling center with a good release. Has a high floor, but likely projects as a third-line power forward.
Tij Iginla
Iginla is goal scorer with a very good release and strong offensive instincts.
Tomas Lavoie
A prototypical QMJHL shutdown defenseman. Vision and offensive tools are still developing in his game.
Justin Poirier
Goal-scorer with some of the most polished shooting mechanics in the draft. Forechecking game borderlines on violent. Improving defensive game and playmaking is key to unlocking second-line, top power play upside.
Graham Sward
Two-way defenseman that has solid positioning and awareness but needs to improve his skating. Bottom-pair ceiling.
Easton Cowan
Cowan is a high-energy playmaker who plays with significant grit; with added polish and muscle, he projects as an intense depth creator in the NHL.
Braeden Kressler
Undersized but tenacious winger with good vision and passing ability. A long-term project who could grow into an effective bottom-six forward in the NHL.
Quinton Burns
Burns is a mobile and intelligent defenceman who closes his gaps very quickly and relies heavily on stickwork defensively, he is likely a bottom-pairing piece if he forges an NHL role.
