Gannon Laroque
A hard-nosed, physical defender with a potentially burgeoning offensive game.
Filip Bystedt
Playmaking center with great size. Added mobility and strength could see him develop into a strong middle-six pivot at the NHL level.
Dmitri Kuzmin
An excellent slot defender. Extremely mobile. Projects as a third-pairing defenseman.
Robert Flinton
A big forward with some skill and offensive hockey sense. Skating needs improvement to succeed at the next level.
Ethan Gauthier
Creative, relentless forward with decent but improvable puck skills. Still raw, but could develop into a potent top-six forward at the NHL level.
Lucas Mercuri
A solid two-way player who possesses offensive upside. He shows the ability to create with both his passing and his shooting. A smart player off the puck can get to the scoring areas to use his NHL-caliber shot. Provides some physicality that can help in leagues that value hits as part of their scoring system.
Josh Filmon
Intelligent forward with good puck skills. Added strength and pace will help him reach his NHL potential.
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.
Cam Squires
Deceptive winger with excellent hockey sense and above-average skating ability.
Cole O’Hara
Playmaking winger with good movement across the board. An asset on the powerplay but needs to find consistency at even-strength for a smooth transition to pro.
