William Eklund
A highly skilled offensive player who has shown the ability to produce at a high-level in the SHL during his draft year. Older for the 2021 draft class but as talented as they come.
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.
Simon Nemec
Strong two-way defender who controls the ice in all three zones. Has the potential to grow into a top pairing defenseman at the NHL level.
Luke Hughes
A smooth-skating defender with a projectable frame, Hughes is going to put up some points and will be a premier powerplay quarterback for the NTDP.
Kevin Bahl
At this point Bahl seems more of a defensive defenseman and doesn't offer much fantasy wise other than in leagues that count stats like hits, blocked shots and penalty minutes.
Vladislav Kamenev
Injury-prone bottom-six pivot
Ivan Prosvetov
A big, athletic goalie settling into a consistent backup role
Lucas Johansen
Johansen has the tool package to become a solid two-way defenseman and can chip in the offense when required
Justin Brazeau
Big-bodied goal scorer, middle-six upside. On an AHL contract, meaning he is an NHL UFA.
Cutter Gauthier
Offensively efficient, smart defensively. Has the size, strength and skating ability to turn pro and immediately slide into a top-6 forward position after the 2023-24 NCAA season.
