Nikolai Kovalenko
Do-it-all top-nine winger with physicality and a scoring touch
Mackie Samoskevich
An uber-skilled forward who has the ability to pull fans out of their seats. He has some of the silkiest hands in the draft and soft touch on his passing. He has the potential to be a volume scorer at the next level if he can translate his game.
Spencer Knight
Athletic netminder with exceptional reflexes and good size. Franchise goaltender potential who fantasy owners should draft early.
Ville Heinola
An offense-minded defenseman with top-four upside who can run a powerplay unit. An excellent skater but needs to get stronger to improve in the defensive zone. Undersized, which limits his ability to play a physical game. Provides very little in the hits and blocks categories.
Bobby Brink
A shifty, elite-thinking winger with quick hands. He lacks speed and needs to work on his skating. Has the creativity and competitive drive to overcome those deficiencies at the NHL level.
Tyson Foerster
He has an elite shot, with a 40+ goal upside and will be a factor on the power play. He has good size and doesn’t shy away from the physical part of the game.
Matvei Michkov
A generational goal scoring talent who is a threat from all over the offensive zone. His quick and accurate release, along with his elite offensive vision, should make him a star in the NHL whenever he arrives.
Shane Wright
Highly skilled center that can do it all. Strong skater with great vision, an excellent shot, and the intelligence to impact the game in all areas. A potential franchise cornerstone.
John Ludvig
Old-school defensive defenseman who can take care of his own zone. Upside for leagues that include shot blocked, hits and PIMs.
John Beecher
Physically imposing two-way center that focuses on playing a sound game in all three zones
