Wyatt Cullen
A creative, deceptive playmaker with a high-end motor and a powerful shot. He should be a first or second round pick at the 2026 NHL Draft.
Pierce Mbuyi
A smaller utility forward, combining solid powerforward elements with some good defensive play and slick offensive dual-threat ability.
Gavin McKenna
An effortless scorer who will continue to use his elite brain to out-think team defenses and his elite shot to terrorize goalies.
Brody Pepoy
Lean, goal-leaning right winger and one of the draft's better risers, from undrafted OHL free agent to a ranked prospect in a single season. The fantasy interest is the trajectory and the frame, with a middle-six scoring ceiling if the second-half form and added weight follow.
Brandon Svoboda
Hard-working forward who needs to develop offensively.
William Lacelle
A dynamic, fluid goaltender with elite puck tracking, though his smaller frame remains a concern.
Noel Pakarinen
Heavy 6-2 forechecking winger who turns size and lateral mobility into takeaways and slot chances, with a finishing touch to go with the grind. A mid-round profile Finnish scouting rates above the English boards, projecting as a complementary middle-six scorer with peripheral value.

He's arguably the toughest forward on the NTDP, a relentless, in-your-face winger who finishes checks, separates opponents from the puck, and racked up 74 penalty minutes doing it. The grandson of Hall of Famer Bryan [...]
Jake Fisher
Reliable middle-six centerman who transitioned well to college
Rieger Lorenz
Quick-footed two-way forward with high-end compete and net-front abilities. Offensive tools need work, but could become a decent complementary middle-six piece.
