Top three, skilled, NHL forward on projection. Scoring at a prolific rate.
Fantastic vision. Anticipates plays before they materialize.
A right shot center who is solid in the face-off circle. Makes plays coming off the wall and in traffic. Great stick.
His upside offensively is elite.
Defensively there are some holes in his game that will need to be shored up in time.

Another elite forward for the 2023 draft class. Averaging two points per game to start the year Solid skater. More strength will lead to more explosiveness out of the gate.
Elite vision. Anticipates plays before they materialize. His game has gone to another level.
Right shot center who is solid in the face-off circle. Can make plays coming off the wall or in traffic in the middle of the ice. Defensively he will need to clean up his detail as he matures. There are times he is caught watching the puck and loses his man in his zone.
