Marek Alscher
Big, physical defense-minded defenseman who does not score often but shows promise in transition. He could become a bottom-pairing type at the NHL level.
Sam Colangelo
A power-forward with natural goal-scoring abilities and superb puck protection.
Cole Knuble
A physical, dominant net-front presence. Competes at a high level making up for lack of size. A quick decision-maker capable of creating scoring chances from all areas of the offensive zone. Projects as a bottom-six forward at the NHL level.
Artem Shlaine
An impressively dynamic player for his size, Shlaine is all offense and no defense. He has the puck on his stick often, driving offense himself rather than through his teammates. He has a slim chance of becoming an elite playmaker, but odds are this pick is one to forget.
Trent Swick
Has size, skill, and the potential to become an effective bottom-six forward with proper development.
Luke Mittelstadt
A technically sound defenseman who handles the puck well and has excellent vision. Can stretch the ice with precise passing but is limited offensively.
Domenick Fensore
A skilled but small defenseman who has played at a high level throughout his young career. He brings offensive production through points, but won’t add much in hits.
T.J. Hughes
Prolific two-way NCAA shooter and scorer with middle-six upside
Scott Ratzlaff
Aggressive netminder with quick feet and good reflexes. Needs to work on his awareness and technique, but has enough interesting physical tools to potentially become a fringe starter.
Jake Richard
A smart, poised winger who is patient in high-traffic areas and has a good ability to score from mid-range. Needs to improve his speed and explosiveness to be considered an option at the NHL level.
