Brett Howden
Howden has a high fantasy floor based on his strong effort alone and his willingness to attempt any challenge a coach or management could possibly put him through. His shot is rather weak but he will be a good middle-six playmaker.
Antti Suomela
Suomela has the skills to step in to San Jose's top six and produce, but it may take time for his skills to transition. Think Joonas Donskoi but slightly better
Vladislav Gavrikov
Potential top-four NHL defensive blueliner whose peripheral contributions may not fully translate to fantasy leagues.
Frédérik Gauthier
4th liner not expected to provide fantasy relevance
Mat Robson
While on the NHL roster at the moment, it is purely to burn a year of his entry level deal. With the potential of becoming a starter in the NHL down the line, he will likely need development with Iowa for at least next season.
Matias Maccelli
Talented offensive winger who makes plays and finishes effectively. Is a work-in-progress defensively.
Josh Teves
An intelligent back with above-average skating. Unlikely to be a big producer at the next level.
Colby Cave
Cave has a powerful shot and plays a sound two-way game. While he will likely never break through as a point producer in the NHL, he could find a home as a role-playing forward, capable of the occasional offensive outburst.
Brendan Guhle
Poised two-way defender with moderate offensive instinct that should land him a top-four NHL position.
Valentin Zykov
Rugged multi-category middle-six winger with scoring upside.
