Considered the smartest player in the draft by scouts, Martone is a dual-threat offensive player with excellent playmaking and shooting ability. O'Brien needs a couple of years to physically mature and improve his shot to become a dual-threat offensive player. While the potential exists for Kindel to a top-six NHL player, he is more likely to find himself in the middle-six as a complementary piece. Off the puck, he's positionally sound, reliable defensively and he should be a secondary penalty killer. Lee is a dynamic offensive player who consistently cuts through defensive coverage with elite puckhandling and deceptive passes.
