Genborg is a physical winger who works himself into the tougher areas on the ice. He gets in quickly on the forecheck and will throw a hit. He’s not a devastating hitter, but the fact he’s willing is a nice added plus and helps set a tone. When he’s not in on the forecheck or digging hard in the corners he’s found at the net-front. He does a good job of causing a distractio...

Poletin is a two-way forward who plays a mostly simple and responsible game. He always puts himself in the right spots in all three zones. In the offensive end, away from the puck, he understands where to go as support or to be a scoring threat. His timing when attacking the slot shines at times as well, and that aids in creating strong chances in the mid-to-low slot area. With the puck, he plays ...

Fiddler is a big defender who plays more of a defensive-leaning style. He is incredibly poised when defending, holds his gaps extremely well, and forces plays wide against the rush. He throws his weight around quite a bit, making an impact as a physical presence. He has an active stick, utilizing his long reach to disrupt opponents on their entry attempts. While he isn’t the best skater, he ...

Zonnon is a two-way forward who strikes me as kind of a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none type. He profiles as a physically imposing, versatile forward whose game is built more on effort and positioning than finesse or high-end skill. His offensive contributions are likely to stem from hard work below the goal line and a willingness to operate in high-traffic areas rather than from creativ...

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...

McQueen is a hulking, right-shot center whose combination of size, puck protection skills, and offensive instincts make him a significant presence whenever he hops over the boards. His elite ability to shield defenders with his frame and maintain possession in tight spaces stands out immediately, and this is complemented by soft hands that allow him to make plays in tight spaces even with a long s...

Smith is an elite-skating blueliner whose effortless mobility and poised puckhandling make him an impressive transition defenseman. His smooth, fluid stride — combined with explosive first steps and elite edgework — allows him to glide through all three zones, often turning defensive retrievals into clean zone entries. His ability to open his hips and use his edges adds a layer of puck...

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...

McQueen might be the biggest wild card in the 2025 draft due to his extended absence, but as a 6-foot-5 center, he brings a well-balanced offensive arsenal to the table. His terrific puck skills allow him to maintain possession and execute high-level plays, particularly when weaving through traffic east-to-west before unleashing a hard wrist shot or setting up a teammate. His size and handling abi...

Romano continues to impress me with his well-rounded skill set and high hockey IQ. His skating remains a strength, with above-average agility and acceleration that allow him to move effectively in all areas of the ice. He doesn’t have game-breaking speed, but he’s certainly fast enough to create separation where he needs to. Romano has a quick wrist shot, though it was uncharacteristically ina...
