Aaron Pionk
A defense-minded defenseman. A long-term project.
A defense-minded defenseman. A long-term project.
Hardworking, two-way forward with a heavy shot and good instincts around the net. Plays with physicality and energy, projecting as an impactful top-six NHLer.
Highly-skilled shooter and puck-handler who accelerates every puck he gets. Boom-or-bust project with second-line upside.
Undersized but intelligent two-way defender with bottom pairing upside.
Big bodied netminder with good lateral movement for a big man. Good positionally downlow, pucks find a way to hit him in tight. Can look awkward at times with pucks in his feet.
A goaltender with excellent flexibility and anticipation when reading the play and when to challenge shooters. Has good positioning but needs to work on rebound control.
Cole Hutson is an offensive defenseman with elite creativity, deception, and handling skill, but his defensive game needs an overhaul for him to not project as a liability in his own zone at the NHL level.
Eiserman is an elite goalscorer; his release is as potent as his ability to find soft ice off-puck, but his on-puck game and defensive engagement remain raw.
Offensive and intelligent defenceman. Will need to improve hands and areas of skating.
A mobile, two-way defender with decent offensive upside.
