Pyotr Kochetkov
Good size and quickness with lots of upside. Fantasy value currently capped due to his back-up role in Carolina's crease. However, he can provide value on nights he starts.
Henry Thrun
A well balanced defenseman. Good puck mover that can shoot the puck well and plays smart defensively.
Luke Evangelista
A great forward on the cycle who can outwork the opposition in every facet of the game offensively. He likely profiles as a strong third-liner who can play on a powerplay at the net front. More value in multi-cat fantasy leagues.
Joey Anderson
Two-way grinding winger with decent goal-scoring instincts. Could serve in a depth role at the NHL level.
Joel Kiviranta
Two-way, undersized forward who could easily fit into a team’s bottom six. Not known for his high-octane offense but he can kill penalties
Arber Xhekaj
Xhekaj is a tough old-school physical defenseman. While he does have some skill and is a good skater for his size, his niche in the NHL - if he makes it - will be as a physically-dominant defensive defenseman, with a limited offensive ceiling. He would be an especially intriguing add in any league using hits and PIMs, as he puts up a tonne of both.
Noah Juulsen
Poised mobile defender with top-four upside.
Felix Sandström
Limited upside. Inconsistent; best suited as a backup at the NHL level.
Maveric Lamoureux
Physically imposing defender with impressive mobility for his size. Still a raw prospect but he features an extremely intriguing toolkit.
Adam Ginning
Punishing physical defenseman with limited offensive skills. Needs to work on his skating to reach the NHL but has middle-pair upside. Can provide a good amount of peripheral stats but not much in points.
