Ian Mitchell
A smart, smooth skating, offensive defenseman has all the tools to be a future top four pairing. A comparison within the organization is Duncan Keith.
Jake Livingstone
Physical two-way defenseman with a powerful shot. Could develop into an all-around contributor on a team's third pair.
Spencer Stastney
D-man with scoring numbers on the WJC
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.
