Zach Olsen
A speedy forechecking forward with projectable habits.
Charlie Morrison
A physically imposing defenseman who skates well for his size.
Beckett Hamilton
Hardworking two-way center with high-end skating who dragged a thin Red Deer team's offense by himself. Undersized and likely a bottom-six NHLer, so the fantasy value is secondary scoring that depends on better linemates than he had in junior.
Ethan MacKenzie
Left-shot two-way defender who defends with an early gap, scans on retrievals, and moves pucks cleanly. Offense projects via exits, secondary assists, and spot power play touches.
Jakub Vanecek
Left-shot, 6-2 puck-mover who broke out as a WHL rookie and produced at the U18 Worlds. An offensive defenseman whose stock has been climbing toward the early rounds.
Joe Iginla
Son of NHL Legend Jarome, Joe Iginla is a small right-handed center who plays a clean game and has an elite shot.
Tyler Deakos
A tall but slight winger who has taken the path less travelled in his development. A long shot at this point.
Lucas Ambrosio
A raw, NHL-sized defender who could be a bottom-four shutdown blueliner if development breaks right.
Brek Liske
A versatile defender with good sense.
Ryder Cali
Big, late-blooming center who plays a pro-style two-way game and finished his draft year on a scoring heater. One of the youngest forwards in the class, with room to add another gear.
