Beauchesne is a right-shot offensive defenseman with excellent mobility and strong offensive instincts. His skating is fantastic — he is a great mover with great acceleration, lateral mobility, and strong edge work. He is able to be a very effective puck-moving defenseman because he can avoid pressure with his legs when in possession of the puck. In transition he makes great reads on when to...

Beauchesne is a right-shot defenseman with good instincts and decent puck-moving ability. He shoulder checks well on retrievals to understand both where pressure could come from and where his potential outlets are for a quick transition. He does a good job of standing up his check in the neutral zone, particularly right at his own blue line, and does a good job of staying between his check and the...

Gard is a sizeable forward who understands how to use his biggest asset, literally, to his advantage. He towers over most defensemen his age, and uses that size advantage to get to the front of the net — and stay there. He’s tough to move, and that’s why he lives at the top of the blue paint in the offensive zone to provide an effective screen. Gard makes sure his stick is tough ...

Cootes is a two-way right-shot center with a blend of grit, skill, and compete. He’s an all-situations pivot who can play a tenacious game, is usually the first to arrive on loose pucks, and is willing to go to the hard areas of the offensive zone — not shy to plant himself in front of the opposition’s net. He doesn’t take too much time getting there, either, instead drivin...

Pavlik is a defense-first center who plays with a lot of detail in his game when it comes to trying to shut down the opposition. He comes down deep in his own zone to support blueliners and create odd-man situations below the goal line. He’ll also box out his check at the net-front when covering, too. He does a good job of staying in lanes in all three zones and is able to deter or intercept...

Pavlik is a responsible, defensive forward who plays a detailed but unexciting brand of hockey. What I really like about him is his attention to detail—he makes smart decisions, rarely commits mistakes, and is therefore heavily utilized in defensive and shutdown situations, which I personally appreciate. However, his offensive upside is very limited, and he had a disappointing draft season in bo...

Cootes is a tenacious two-way right-shot center who is a pain to play against. He’s a competitive player, no doubt, with a lot of jam in his game. He’s willing to throw a hit and doesn’t often pass up a chance to finish a check. He plays a lot in the guts of the game, whether that’s along the boards or at the net front. His offensive game is highlighted by his shot and will...

Reschny is an undersized but highly skilled center whose game is built on strong hockey sense, competitiveness, and a direct, net-driven approach. While he lacks elite size and dynamic explosiveness, his well-rounded skill set and responsible two-way play make him a reliable prospect with clear NHL potential. Reschny thrives around the net, consistently positioning himself for deflections, rebound...

Kindel is a two-way winger who can both generate offense for his linemates or finish a play himself. He’s a really accurate passer and dishes with intention as opposed to tossing out wishes when trying to find teammates. Kindel has soft enough hands to play the role of distributor, as he can absolutely feather in short or long-range passes. There’s a reason he’s trusted as a pow...

Fiddler is a two-way defenseman who has an intriguing combination of size, skating, dexterity, and genes. He’s physically developed, a right shot, and has NHL bloodlines. He’s got strong — but not dynamic — boots. There’s good mobility and a lengthy stride, but his edgework is just average and he won’t be breaking ankles. In fact, he could stand to use his skati...
