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.
Jakub Štancl
A powerful two-way forward with exceptional physical tools. He needs to improve his skating to succeed at the next level.
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.
Hiroki Gojsic
A powerful winger with a strong shot and sound defensive awareness. Needs to develop offensively.
Avery Hayes
Undrafted forward with a winning pedigree. Developing well in the minors.
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.
Charlie Elick
Big, mobile right-handed defensive defenceman with a great foundation of gap-closing tools. Offense is relatively limited, but projects as a number 4 penalty-kill specialist.
Corson Ceulemans
An offensive blueliner who throws caution to the wind to create offensively. There will be some reigning in needed but the tools should intrigue any team that thinks they can reign the free-wheeling blueliner.
