Huang is a smooth puck-moving defenseman. His skating is his best asset. He’s able to navigate all areas of the ice rather quickly, and his backwards skating ability allows him to effectively control gaps through the neutral zone. Huang is adept at moving pucks out of high-danger areas and onto the stick of teammates in transitions. His ability to one-touch passes is a plus, though he can be...

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 ...

His motor is always running and he rarely passes up an opportunity to throw a check and genuinely looks like he enjoys the physical side of the game. A hard competitor with skill makes for a great combination, and that’s what is almost always on display in Martin’s game. Wha...

Kucharcik, a forward who can play both down the middle and on the wing, is a bit of an enigma. He’s got size, can skate, and looks as though he has some tools, but there’s a significant lack of urgency and intention in his game ultimately makes him blend into the background or disappear altogether. It looked like he deferred to his linemates far too often, failing to initiate or instig...

Schmidt is a speedy, high-skilled forward who plays a fairly balanced overall game. He certainly skews more toward being an offensive presence, but he is balanced as a shooter and passer. With the puck, he can dance. He has silky smooth hands, able to get out of tight areas with relative ease and get into space to create plays. As a passer, he clearly has good vision and knows how to push the pace...

Schmidt is an undersized offensive forward with a penchant for getting pucks on net. He a volume shooter through and through and is not shy to get the puck off his stick in a hurry with a quick release on his snap shot. There’s a level of accuracy, too — provided he can get it through that first layer of traffic. He can generally put it where he wants to and doesn’t just let it g...
