| Ty Voit |  | RW | 20 | 3 of 3 | 71
DF
| Undersize - light - skilled forward who loves to have the puck on his stick Three zone detail ranges Offensive zone exits have room for more urgency to assist tracking back defensively Very creative in tight quarters - has ability to spin off checks or make plays through defenders - Needs to find a role in the top nine forward group - not a depth checking option Time in the AHL will determine his trajectory Likely to skate at ES and PP in the minors to establish his game | Sep. 17, 2023 | Sep. 25, 2023 |
| Dennis Hildeby | | G | 22 | 4 of 4 | 77
2A
| Massive goaltender Takes up a ton of net - good feet / balance When he squares up he is difficult to beat from range When down in the butterfly he sits tall enough to take up the upper quadrants of the net Reads the play very well - surprisingly quick moving side to side - pucks find him in traffic / screens - needs to make sure he plays between his posts and inside the paint to take full advantage of his size - barely adequate playing the puck - #2 on projection at this time - needs AHL seasoning | Sep. 17, 2023 | Sep. 25, 2023 |
| Fraser Minten | | C | 19 | 3 of 4 | 84
L2
| High end compete Doesn't cut corners Solid in the face-off circle - enabling team to start with the puck off draws / especially in the defensive zone Sound hockey IQ - skill set to be used in all situations - battles for space in the offensive zone - reads the play and finds 'soft' ice to make himself available as option Quick catch and release - shoots the puck with accuracy - equal parts shooter/distributor | Sep. 17, 2023 | Sep. 25, 2023 |
| Topi Niemelä | | RD | 21 | 5 of 5 | 78
P3
| 2-way/Transitional defenceman Good feet - small area quickness is sound - cannot be described as a physical player but he doesn't shy away from contact either Since he is giving up weight and strength he has to arrive ahead of opponents/jump to space before they have possession of the puck and can dictate the play in his zone Has understated offensive upside - can QB the second PP unit Solid hockey IQ in all three zones - it will take time to adjust to the smaller ice in North America | Sep. 17, 2023 | Sep. 25, 2023 |
| Roni Hirvonen | | C | 21 | 3 of 3 | 75
L4
| Bottom six NHL prospect who provides ample compete and energy Extends plays along the boards - tenacious - involved Not naturally gifted with the puck on his stick Potential NHL depth scorer but more likely a checking style forward who could PK Good skater - more quick than fast Needs seasoning at AHL level to better define upside | Sep. 17, 2023 | Sep. 25, 2023 |
| Matthew Knies | | LW | 20 | 5 of 8 | 84
L2
| Consistent compete - empties the tank Willing to sacrifice his body in the hard areas of the ice - battles along the wall and net front in the offensive zone Extends plays - absorbs contact Good quickness and open ice pace Upside to be used in a variety of roles - especially ES and PP - Compliments lighter / skilled linemates with his approach - Trending top 6 NHL forward | Sep. 17, 2023 | Sep. 25, 2023 |
| Easton Cowan | | C | 17 | 1 of 4 | B+
M6
| A riser in the second half of the season Competes - plays with pace - doesn't shy away from traffic or contact - has the hockey brain to be used in all situations - earned the trust of his coaching staff and played elevated minutes in playoffs - shot has improved - leans distributor who can extend plays with his tenacity Leans 3F for NHL projection | Apr. 13, 2023 | Jun. 13, 2023 |
| Ryan Tverberg | | C | 21 | 3 of 4 | B+
M6
| Used in all situations at the college level. Puck goes through him on the PP. Read/React on the PK is sound. Noticeably stronger. First three steps are average plus, but his open ice stride has lengthened. He's a powerful skater in open ice. Off the rush he wins his share of races to 50/50 pucks. When he gets the edge he takes the play to the net. On the penalty kill he pressures the play up ice. A solid point producing college player who plays the game the right way. He can be deployed, and trusted, in a variety of roles. Middle six NHL forward is possible. Requires time in the minors to begin. | Mar. 4, 2023 | Mar. 15, 2023 |
| Nicholas Moldenhauer | | RW | 18 | 2 of 2 | D+
L4
| His offense has taken another step this season overall. Off the rush he is a creative thinker via zone entries / has the vision to distribute and find open space to make plays with and without the puck on his stick. On the power-play, especially from the deep slot and around the net, he has the ability to catch and release pucks before opponents front him. His overall, three zone, effort and detail has room for improvement. More effort tracking back (faster) required. Not the kind of forward who grinds out a lot of shifts. Also not likely to penalty kill or match up defensively. Element leans offense Very good stick and instincts in the offensive zone. | Mar. 4, 2023 | Mar. 7, 2023 |
| Ty Voit | | RW | 19 | 2 of 3 | D+
DP
| Voit is having a very productive year playing in Sarnia (OHL). The undersize forward can make plays in a phone booth. He has a quick stick in tight quarters. Voit is very dangerous on the power-play. He rotates off the half-wall and makes plays all over the offensive zone with the man advantage. He's a very light player (5vs5) who doesn't work hard enough on or off the puck defensively. His attention to detail, and overall pace he plays the game, has a long way to go for the NHL game. His element is definitely offense. If he finds more speed and gets his game to 'average' defensive standards he has a chance to be a depth piece in organization. | Mar. 3, 2023 | Mar. 7, 2023 |
| Topi Niemelä | | RD | 20 | 4 of 5 | B+
P2
| Niemela has seen some growth in areas of his game, and some drop off in other areas. He is being used in all situations playing in Liiga. On the power-play he is efficient. He directs pucks on net accurately and shows the ability to one-time pucks. Off the rush he can attack with more pace. He is over-handling pucks between the blue-lines/slowing down in the process. He's a reliable defender who is quick to space. For his stature he isn't shy about bumping up against opponents. On the penalty-kill he closes on opponents, shows willingness to block shots, and has an active stick in the lanes. The fact his offense has fallen off requires monitoring. | Mar. 3, 2023 | Mar. 7, 2023 |
| Fraser Minten | | C | 18 | 2 of 4 | B+
M6
| Trending up in almost every category. Being used in all situations at the Major Junior level. Reliable detail in all three zones. Some bump to his game physically. Quick release from distance and coming off the half wall. Tracks back to assist defensively. Fronts pucks / blocks shots. Good skill / not elite. Potential (2F) or high end (3F). The fact he is trustworthy enough to penalty kill and start in his defensive zone / win draws makes him an even more useful prospect on projection. Skating mechanics are in fine - requires more power out of the gate and in motion between the blue lines. | Mar. 3, 2023 | Mar. 7, 2023 |
| Dennis Hildeby | | G | 21 | 3 of 4 | C+
BU
| His statistics remain strong. Both GAA and Save %. Late in the season (22/23) he has been playing only once a week (at best) and serving as the back-up. He's a young, developing goalie. He has time. Size continues to be attractive attribute. Big in the net. When he squares up shooters have little to look at. Rebound control ranges. When pucks spill off his body he can be exposed if having to scramble to make saves. At his best between the posts. Gloves have improved - finding more shots and catching them clean. When tracking, side to side, in the paint his low net coverage is also quicker. Trending up overall. NHL in 3 years is possible as (#2). | Mar. 2, 2023 | Mar. 7, 2023 |
| John Klingberg | | RD | 30 | 3 of 6 | 56
P2
| Klingberg has been average, at best, this season in Anaheim. Having said that he remains a target at the deadline for a team that is looking for an extra layer on their power-play. His 5vs5 defensive detail ranges wildly. He has looked disinterested at times. There is a ton of risk, in my opinion, in acquiring Klingberg. The team that brings him in should expect a bottom pairing 'D' at even strength., a potential bump on their power-play. Klingberg will not PK. | Feb. 25, 2023 | Mar. 3, 2023 |
| Bobby McMann | | LW | 26 | 1 of 2 | 62
RL
| Useful player who plays quick and fast As F1 he disrupts opponents breaking pucks out of their zone Takes away time and space effectively and shows willingness to play physical to create turnovers Streaky scorer. Scoring at the NHL level would be a bonus. Depth / energy provider Speed element and compete. Recall forward. Offensive Zone exits, at times, could be more timely. Potential to skate 10-12 minutes at NHL level. NOTE: List size should read 6'2 208lbs | Jan. 7, 2023 | Jan. 11, 2023 |
| Roni Hirvonen | | C | 20 | 2 of 3 | C+
RL
| It's been a struggle through the first half of the season at HIFK. His offensive numbers have dropped significantly. The larger concern is the fact Roni is having less success gaining the edge off the rush and taking pucks to high danger areas. Much more perimeter in his game at this stage. A competitive player who empties the tank and can provide match-up energy when not producing offense but he hasn't been himself in 22/23 season to date | Nov. 30, 2022 | Dec. 8, 2022 |
| Matthew Knies | | LW | 20 | 4 of 8 | B+
T6
| Playing to his identity at Minnesota in his Sophomore season and trending up again. Scoring timely goals in all situations - ES, PP, PK, OT Appears to be quicker to open space / winning more open ice races to pucks A threat on the PP coming off the half wall and going to the net creating screens, tips, and cleaning up rebounds. Leans more goal scorer than playmaker but his ability to extend plays along the wall benefits his line mates. Average TOI hovering close to 20:00 a night. | Dec. 2, 2022 | Dec. 8, 2022 |
| Ryan Tverberg | | C | 20 | 2 of 4 | B+
M6
| Leading UCONN in scoring and being used in all situations Has added more power to his stride resulting in more separation in open ice. Competes. Scores big goals. Leads by example. Middle bumper on the PP Scores goals from the middle of the ice / between the circles and around the crease Sound off the puck detail / defensive zone commitment | Dec. 2, 2022 | Dec. 8, 2022 |
| Dennis Hildeby | | G | 21 | 2 of 4 | C+
#3
| Some growing pains in his second year playing in SHL. Huge goalie who takes up a ton of net. Plays mid-range of his crease, which is fine with his stature. Staying between his posts better overall. No unnecessary movement. Rebound control is an area that requires attention. Too many pucks bounding off his pads and body resulting in second chances against. Outstanding blocker hand / quick. Glove hand also requires attention. Holds trapper facing down to the ice / not adjusting to catch pucks clean | Dec. 3, 2022 | Dec. 8, 2022 |
| Topi Niemelä | | RD | 20 | 3 of 5 | B+
P2
| Offense has fallen off in his second full year playing in Liiga but his detail in other areas of the game remains trustworthy Continues to be used in all situations, although his PP minutes have been scaled back during his fade offensively Bulk of his average 20:00 TOI comes at ES and PK. Competes defensively. Quick to space. High end IQ. Outlets efficiently. Still a solid prospect. | Dec. 3, 2022 | Dec. 8, 2022 |
| Keith Petruzzelli | | G | 23 | 1 of 1 | 70
#3
| A giant in the crease. His stature alone protects much of the net. Hybrid / Butterfly style. He plays his best when things are organized in front of him. Initial saves are not an issue when he is squared up properly and towards the middle/top of his crease. Second stops moving laterally are a bit lethargic. He's not real powerful moving side to side but he also has less distance to travel due to his width. Good gloves. Average playing the puck. Decent feet / coordination for his size. | Nov. 6, 2022 | Nov. 7, 2022 |
| Matthew Knies | | LW | 19 | 3 of 8 | B+
T6
| At the World Juniors (Edmonton) he struggled to produce the offense he is capable of Board battle was sound. He opened up space for line mates and extended plays. Continues to show willingness to get to the crease area and cause distraction Transporting the puck and finding open space to direct shots on goal was a challenge at the WJC Looking for him to reset come the fall at Minnesota | Aug. 17, 2022 | Aug. 21, 2022 |
| Topi Niemelä | | RD | 20 | 2 of 5 | B+
P2
| A trustworthy 'D' who brings sound detail in all three zones. Has the IQ and compete to be used in all situations ... including the PK Fantastic vision in the offensive zone. He will wait for a lane to open up and either get the puck to the net or distribute through seems. Defensively quick to take away time and space and willing to get in the lane to block shots Not a big body but it doesn't hold him back. | Aug. 19, 2022 | Aug. 21, 2022 |
| John Tavares | | C | 31 | 1 of 4 | 58
T6
| There are nights that he labors and struggles to get around the ice at NHL speed but overall he continues to produce offense. Sees the ice. Doesn't need a lot of time or space to make plays in the offensive zone. Great release. One of the best players 'tipping' pucks. He has elite hand/eye coordination. Defending ranges and it comes down to how fast the opponent plays the game and how well he positions himself defensively. If he is late with zone exits its a struggle to get back the full 200ft. Move to wing in future is likely Has the ability to take and win key face-offs in all three zones | Feb. 21, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| William Nylander | | C | 25 | 1 of 7 | 62
T3
| Pure offense. Potential to be an elite player but he frustrates with his lack of detail defensively. A threat to produce offense almost every time he touches the puck Open ice speed makes him difficult to defend off the rush. A specialist on the power play. Not a ton of push back physically Unfortunate reality is he scores as much as he is scored against when he is on the ice | Feb. 21, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| TJ Brodie | | LD | 31 | 1 of 3 | 62
P2
| Logs over 20:00 per night in a variety of roles. Compliments a partner who is more willing to take risks offensively. Capable to lead the rush or join as an extra layer but he picks his spots At best he is a 'bumper' defensively. Not a physical defender. Good stick. Mostly sound outlets. He can launch the attack effectively. He is what he is. A reliable NHL defender who skates and manages the game within his skill set and comfort level. He's not elite in any one category. | Feb. 21, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| David Kämpf | | RW | 27 | 1 of 3 | 62
M6
| Has settled into a role in Toronto. Used mostly regular shift and on the penalty kill. Averaged over 15:00 TOI in 21/22 Good size. Moves well. Plays within himself. Clearly tries to be responsible and takes few risks. Better than average secondary point producer. Enough skill to be used in a variety of roles. Does some heavy lifting defensively | Feb. 21, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Ilya Lyubushkin | | RD | 27 | 1 of 7 | 58
P3
| Good size Right shot Defensive 'D' . Used ES and PK. Easy to evaluate. He plays a physical, low risk, complimentary game. Gaps up in his lane. Simple with the puck. Solid bottom pairing option who can move into top 4 in a pinch | Feb. 21, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Morgan Rielly | | LD | 27 | 1 of 3 | 69
P1
| Logged over 24:00 AVG TOI in 21/22 Sees the ice. Makes plays offensively His element is offense , transitioning pucks, and making plays on the PP. Easy to poke holes in his game, at times, defensively but he plays against top opponents every night | Feb. 21, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Timothy Liljegren | | RD | 22 | 1 of 4 | 47
P3
| A frustrating player to evaluate at times but making positive progress He appears ready to take the next step with his development and play to his identity He came into the league projected to be a skating , two-way / leaning transitional 'D' Plenty quick and fast enough to play that style of game but his execution has been inconsistent. He can lead the rush. He can join as an extra layer. Has started to limit his turnovers. Decision making is improving. | Feb. 21, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Auston Matthews | | C | 24 | 1 of 5 | 72
FP
| The most pure goal scorer in the NHL Can play quick and fast for his stature Elite thinker in the offensive zone with a lethal release. At times his overall detail can be better but it has improved over the years Playing heavier / harder in big games. | Feb. 21, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Mitchell Marner | | RW | 24 | 1 of 4 | 67
FP
| Franchise player who brings offense and contributes on the penalty kill Pucks run through him on the power play. Creative mind He has a skill set that cannot be taught. A gifted player. 'Big game' results have been slow to arrive in playoffs Team needs him to take his detail and impact to another level at the hardest time of the year The kind of player that teams build around. | Feb. 21, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Max Domi | | C | 26 | 1 of 6 | 58
M6
| Average TOI has trended down for back to back seasons Deployed at ES and 2nd PP. Rarely used on the PK Up ice pressure as F1 and physical element remain in place. Plays on the edge and sometimes over it. Young enough to carve out a secondary, middle six, role moving forward. | Mar. 1, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Mark Giordano | | LD | 38 | 1 of 4 | 73
P2
| Veteran player who still has plenty of game. AVG TOI (21:29). Used in all situations. Reliable 3 zone awareness. High end hockey IQ. He identifies and anticipates very well. Durable. Has clearly taken good care of his body. Great stamina for a soon to be 39 year old NHL 'D' There are times his small area, and neutral zone turnover defending could be better. | Mar. 2, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| John Klingberg | | RD | 29 | 2 of 6 | 65
P2
| Averaged nearly 22:00 TOI in 21/22 and was used in all situations in Dallas. Walks the line on the PP. Patient. Makes plays. Distributors through seems. Pucks to net form distance for tips and rebounds. Occasionally leads the rush out of his zone. On the PK he rotates well and has good jump to small areas. Area defender with occasional physical element. . Not shot blocker. There are times in games that he turns pucks over in key areas of the ice / loses his focus and attention to detail. | Mar. 2, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Ilya Samsonov | | G | 24 | 1 of 6 | 72
1B
| His stats do not tell the entire story for the season. His GAA is the highest it has been but his Save % is similar. The team is giving up more quality chances against they have in recent seasons and has to be considered in the equation. An active goalie who relies on quickness and athleticism. At times his crease composure is too hectic and he finds himself desperately searching for his net to make second saves. Good feet. Decent gloves. Average playing the puck. More consistency required moving fwd | Feb. 15, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| John Klingberg | | RD | 29 | 1 of 6 | 63
P2
| A veteran 2-way / Transitional 'D' who has ability to skate pucks from his zone and lead the rush. Also capable of joining the rush as and extra layer when he identifies open space Used in all situations No easy minutes. His ice time averaged around 21:00 per night in 2021-2022 and the bulk of that time was against top 6 opponents. He will surprise, at times, with some physical push back. Generally an area defender. Decent gap control killing zone entries. There are times in games he turns pucks over in key areas of the ice. | Jan. 20, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Semyon Der-Arguchintsev | | C | 21 | 1 of 1 | 44
DP
| Undersize, light, skilled forward More of a distributor than shooter at the pro level His play from his red line down leaves a lot to be desired and puts added pressure on the rest of his team mates in their defensive zone Not elite enough to be considered for a top 6 NHL role. Not detailed enough for a bottom 6 Not detailed enough to play anywhere else in the lineup | Jan. 19, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Nicholas Robertson | | LW | 20 | 2 of 5 | 53
RL
| An undersize skill forward who has produced offense at the OHL and AHL levels Has struggled with durability Robertson has the IQ for the game in the offensive zone but he isn't elite for his stature Play away from the puck and three zone detail has improved A good skater who will drive to the net if he gets the edge A depth role at even strength with a 'customized' role on the power is possible | Jan. 19, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 |
| Dennis Hildeby | | G | 20 | 1 of 4 | C+
#3
| A butterfly goalie who is massive in the net. He sits tall when down and takes up the majority of the top of the net. Decent gloves. At times pucks will simply hit him through screens. Rebound control is mostly sound but there is room for improvement. Average at playing the puck. He needs proper coaching. At times he loses his net / crease composure and gets too active. An older prospect for the NHL draft but one with a solid foundation to work with. | Mar. 18, 2022 | Jul. 9, 2022 |
| Fraser Minten | | RW | 17 | 1 of 4 | C+
L4
| A good size prospect who brings reliable compete and detail. His ability to take key defensive zone face-offs, penalty kill, and match up against top lines is attractive. Not a player who is a threat off the rush at this stage of his development. His pace has room to improve. He has better than average puck skill and sees the ice. His role on the PP is usually net front. He is willing to battle around the crease and find rebounds and tips. Half of his goals in 2021-2022 came on the PP (10). If his skating improves he has a chance to be a bottom 6 NHL prospect. | Feb. 2, 2022 | Jul. 3, 2022 |
| Topi Niemelä | | RD | 20 | 1 of 5 | C+
P3
| Easy to identify his element and potential upside for the NHL game. Solid skater. A transitional 'D' who can QB the PP. With the extra attacker he is very efficient with the puck and makes reliable decisions. He distributes very well. On occasion he will direct pucks on net and shows a quick, accurate release. Rarely do his shots get blocked. His overall IQ is very strong. Not the heaviest defender. He won't over power opponents along the boards or around his crease. Upside as a 4 or 5 at ES. | Apr. 2, 2022 | Jul. 2, 2022 |
| Nicholas Moldenhauer | | RW | 17 | 1 of 2 | C+
RL
| A skilled forward who competes with and without the puck. He plays a reliable three zone game. Good stick. Capable of scoring goals and distributing. Below the hash marks and the goal line in the offensive zone he competes to win battles. When he doesn't have the puck he works to get it back. Missed time with a significant injury in 2021-2022. His fitness suffered during his recovery but he has time to improve his strength and endurance. His skating will get more explosive with added strength. His stride is sound. | Apr. 23, 2022 | Jul. 1, 2022 |
| Nicholas Robertson | | LW | 20 | 1 of 5 | 54
RL
| He suffered through injury this season but worked hard to rehab and made progress with his overall game. Now playing with the most pace he has shown at the pro level. A capable playmaker who creates through his hard work. Leans goal scorer more than distributor overall. Has potential to eventually become a middle 6 option who can possibly slot into a top 6 role when needed. His results have been slow to arrive at the NHL level but the pandemic and injuries certainly slowed his progress. Undersize skill forward. Element is offense. | Dec. 5, 2021 | May 24, 2022 |
| Alex Steeves | | C | 21 | 1 of 1 | 63
RL
| A solid start to his pro career in 2021/2022. A short stint with the NHL team but mostly played at the AHL level with the Marlies. Works. Competes. Good quickness out of the gate. Has shown he can contribute on the PP with 8 of his 23 goals coming with the man advantage. When he had a chance to get into NHL games he was used on the wing. Not overpowering but certainly involved. Has the ability to compete for an NHL job next season. Element leans offense but he works full 200ft | Dec. 5, 2021 | May 24, 2022 |
| Pontus Holmberg | | C | 22 | 1 of 3 | 62
L4
| A skilled forward who finds quiet ice in the offensive zone and produces offense. A capable shooter as well as distributor. On the PP he comes off the half wall and makes plays from the perimeter. Defensive detail is average. He is quick out of the gate but has a relatively short stride and not a ton of open ice separation. At times he bodies up / shields pucks and shows he can spin off a check or get the edge and drive to the net. While playing at the SHL level in Sweden he was used primarily RS, PP, and 4vs4. Occasionally PK. Element is offense. | Dec. 5, 2021 | May 24, 2022 |
| Joseph Woll | | G | 23 | 1 of 5 | 62
BU
| Good size Butterfly style. He dressed for some NHL games in 2021/2022. Shutout vs NYI on Nov 21/21. He followed up with a win on the road in San Jose. When he is on he tracks the play well through traffic and moves fluidly from side to side. Better than average gloves. Big in his butterfly. Area of concern is his timing. Has allowed goals that go through him when he drops too late. Stats at NHL level are better than AHL. Has chance to be a backup and play some games. Still developing. Only 23 years old. | Dec. 5, 2021 | May 24, 2022 |
| Roni Hirvonen | | C | 20 | 1 of 3 | C+
L4
| A highly competitive player that gets involved in all three zones and leads by example. Never takes a shift off. Whatever role he is thrust into by the coach he empties the tank. Plays quick and fast. In North America he projects to be more of a depth / role player who will bring energy, can be used in D-zone starts, and will sacrifice his body on the penalty kill. A prospect with high end character. | Apr. 2, 2022 | May 13, 2022 |
| Ty Voit | | RW | 18 | 1 of 3 | 43
DP
| An undersize skill forward who brings potential offensive element at the pro level 200ft effort at the OHL level leaves much to be desired. Used at (ES) and (PP) Off the puck detail is marginal at best Moody when things aren't going his way. As he turns pro he will need to play faster, compete more consistently and commit to more detail overall. Depth prospect. | Apr. 2, 2022 | Apr. 8, 2022 |
| Nick Abruzzese | | C | 22 | 1 of 1 | D+
M6
| AVG TOI (18:33) over 10 game segment at end of the season / contributed (2G-6A) Deployed (ES and PP) Does not PK . A good skater but not a burner in transition. Small stature. Light. Not the kind of player that will extend plays in the hard areas. His element is his offensive upside. Very good stick. Has ability to make plays in small areas. On the PP he is equal parts distributor and shooter. His play off the puck and defensive detail will have to improve for the NHL game. Added weight and strength required. | Mar. 11, 2022 | Mar. 26, 2022 |
| Matthew Knies | | LW | 19 | 2 of 8 | B+
T6
| AVG TOI (15:33) (ES and PP) (Potential to be a top 6 forward) In the 31 games leading into the NCAA tourney (12G-17A-29pts)(+14) (31pims) 4 goals on the PP. Generated the 3rd most shots on goal (90) on the team. Big body. Attacks with speed. Goes to hard areas. Ability to extend plays along the boards and down low (below the goal line) is an attractive element. Not just a power forward. He brings an element of finesse as well. Sound IQ. Aware. Reads/Reacts in all three zones. | Mar. 12, 2022 | Mar. 25, 2022 |

M6
| AVG TOI just shy of (17:00). A player who can play up and down the lineup and be used in all situations. Provides secondary offense. Has the three zone commitment to be deployed against top flight opponents. Creates turnovers with his tenacity. High end compete. Seems to always be around the play. He will go to the net looking for tips and rebounds. Trustworthy middle of the lineup forward who plays quick and doesn't back down. | Mar. 16, 2022 | Mar. 17, 2022 |

T6
| His recent 10 segment of games has seen his TOI drop slightly to (17:30) per night. Used at ES and on the PP Fought through a goal scoring slump. He has averaged a PPG over the last 10. Elite offensively IQ. Great hands. Sees the ice. Can be dangerous offensively ... especially on the PP. His pace is off and appears to be trending (quickly) in the wrong direction. There are some nights he struggles to keep up with the NHL game overall. | Mar. 13, 2022 | Mar. 14, 2022 |

T6
| AVG TOI (18:20) Used at ES and on the PP Easily identified. Offense is his element. Quick. Fast. Creative. Dangerous off the rush. High end impact on the PP. His off the puck detail and push back in the hard areas leaves much to be desired. Historically he has shown he can play with better detail but he lacks consistency at this time. Elite skill. | Mar. 13, 2022 | Mar. 14, 2022 |

P3
| AVG TOI (16:28) Being used at ES and on the PK A skater. 2-way Transitional 'D'. His defensive detail has improved. More reliable than the past in his zone. A bumper. Not overly physical. Having said that he still has a long way to go. There are times when his gaps / reads are not well timed ... leading to odd man rushes against or hectic small areas defending. At his best when he keeps his game simple. | Mar. 13, 2022 | Mar. 14, 2022 |
| Calle Järnkrok | | C | 30 | 1 of 5 | 64
M6
| Avg TOI just shy of (17:00) Being used in all situations. His PK minutes/role range. Team guy. Brings energy and compete. Quick out of the gate. Presses opponents when he doesn't have the puck. He can create turnovers on the F/C. On most teams in the league he wouldn't be tasked with a first unit PP role but that he is in Seattle. Willing to go to the net/ tip pucks / create traffic. Not a natural playmaker. This is the kind of player who works for his results. Character middle 6 forward. Better than average on the defensive side of the game. | Mar. 2, 2022 | Mar. 3, 2022 |

DP
| 2-way forward who currently plays a simple but energetic game Consistent compete Short / choppy stride Good awareness away from the puck / he's responsible Doesn't possess an elite element offensively Tends to follow the play more than handle the puck Has time on his side at the college level | Dec. 3, 2021 | Jan. 12, 2022 |

DP
| Undersize forward who brings explosive style to the game More quick than fast Does his best work when arriving first on the scene When opponents physically engage him he has a tough time escaping and utilizing his element 5vs5 play ranges There are times he gets swallowed up in the game and has limited impact A motion player who has the ability to create offense if not defended properly | Nov. 20, 2021 | Jan. 6, 2022 |
| Max Ellis | | C | 21 | 1 of 2 | C+
RL
| Infectious player. Brings energy, enthusiasm, and better than average skill. Used in all situations. Part of the leadership group. A 'lead by example' player. Quick to space. Difficult to defend in tight spaces. Tenacious. Creates turnovers via compete. On the rise. Size is not a concern. Could add 10-15% more separation in open ice. | Dec. 3, 2021 | Jan. 2, 2022 |
| Ryan Tverberg | | C | 19 | 1 of 4 | B+
M6
| Has taken another step in his development. Relentless energy and compete. Used in all situations at the college level. Leans offense but is willing to get in the lane and block shots on the PK. A bit on the light side but he also battles in the trenches and comes out with pucks off the wall more often than not. Trending up. Contributing in all areas of the game while not losing his offensive element. | Nov. 21, 2021 | Jan. 2, 2022 |

RL
| Big body defender Average quickness and agility Skill set overall leans average (with and without the puck) Used RS and PK at the college level Agility in tight quarters (net to corner / corner to net / containing in traffic) needs to improve Leans defensive 'D' as a pro if he can improve on his skating and read / react Willing to gap up and lean on opponents | Oct. 23, 2021 | Jan. 1, 2022 |

T6
| Off to a great start in his Freshman season Averaging over a PPG Big body forward who moves very well. Quick in transition. Backs opponents off. Uses his size to his advantage in the hard areas Extends plays along the boards and down low in the offensive zone. Well rounded prospect who brings combination of power and finesse Reliable and skilled enough to be used in all situations. | Nov. 26, 2021 | Dec. 15, 2021 |

DP
| Undersize defender A solid skater He is more quick than fast. He is agile. Good head for the game overall. Used on the 2nd power play unit at the college level. More of a distributor than a shooter. Has to pick his spots physically in the hard areas as he does give up height and weight. Relies on his quickness and hockey IQ in 1/1 defending scenarios along the wall and out front his net. The kind of player who doesn't possess an elite element but also doesn't have any glaring weaknesses. | Nov. 26, 2021 | Dec. 15, 2021 |
