Luke Haymes
A high hockey IQ centerman with an NHL-level two-way game who works hard and does all the small things right. Projects as a middle-six center with the potential to be a top-six with proper development.
John Prokop
A depth defenseman who plays a physical game. He needs to improve his decision-making with the puck and read plays better—he is more of a shutdown defender than an offensive producer.
Ondřej Becher
A high-end playmaking center that thrives with the puck on his stick. An excellent shot blocker shots and creates turnovers at a high rate.
Aatu Räty
A play-driving offensive center who plays a solid 200-foot game. A dual-threat because he can make plays and finish them. Great skating ability combined with high-end puck-skills makes him a threat all over the ice. Needs to work on his consistency and discipline. Projects to become a very good top-six center.
Arshdeep Bains
A skilled forward with an intriguing combination of size and offensive potential.
Max Sasson
A high-motor center with an offensive touch. Brings bottom-six NHL potential.
Avery Hayes
Undrafted forward with a winning pedigree. Developing well in the minors.
Joona Koppanen
Koppanen has a large frame but lacks the offensive talent to become a truly impactful player for fantasy purposes. Likely tops out as a role-playing forward in the NHL.
Stephen Halliday
The knock on him to date has been that he does not use his size enough and plays on the perimeter. Mix in average skating and Halliday has relied on his above-average playmaking abilities to have the success he has had so far.
Thomas Milic
A quick, athletic goaltender who reads play with ease. Plays a calm, clean, technical game with aggressive positioning and good footwork, making up for the lack of size. A long-term project that competes hard and thrives under pressure.
