Dalibor Dvorsky, C, AIK (Allsvenskan)ĭvorsky is the latest product of Slovakia's recent impressive run of player development. The Coyotes are in no rush to be competitive and desperately need an otherworldly talent like Michkov to sell to the local market. Michkov, who's under contract in Russia through 2025-26, played for four different teams this past season, most notably piling up 20 points in 27 games for Sochi in the KHL. He's an elusive skater and nifty stick-handler with tremendous upside. The small, dynamic winger possesses game-breaking abilities. The wild card of the draft, Michkov slides out of the top five and into Arizona's lap. Smart, slippery, scrappy, and defensively attentive, his toolkit justifies the decision to add a second diminutive winger beyond Cole Caufield. Benson could tear up junior hockey next season before he graduates to the Canadiens' top six. At 17, he surged to third in league scoring behind Bedard and WHL overager Chase Wheatcroft. Zach Benson, LW, Winnipeg (WHL)īenson racked up a point per night for the Ice when he was 16 years old. A coveted right-shot center, San Jose lands its future top-line pivot and running mate for William Eklund. Smith is a well-rounded threat with a quality shot and passing ability, but it's his elite puck skills that truly make him a dynamic player. The USNTDP star thrashed the U18s en route to tournament MVP and the gold medal, matching Jack Hughes' American record for scoring at the event. The Sharks land a much-needed offensive stud in Smith. Nobody would call him a burner, but he's a smooth skater for someone who's 6-foot-3, plus he possesses high-end skill, vision, and playmaking abilities. Carlsson spent much of the season on the wing in Sweden's top pro league - where he tallied an impressive 25 points in 44 games - but he possesses all the traits to be an elite player down the middle. The Blue Jackets fell in the lottery but still get the franchise center they so desperately need. Missing out on Bedard hurts, sure, but getting Fantilli is an ultra-soft landing. Fantilli skates very well, competes extremely hard, and is a dual threat capable of distributing and burying the puck on any given shift. A first overall pick most other years, the Canadian immediately rockets to the top of the Ducks' list of forward prospects.
Fantilli is an all-situations force who's fresh off winning the Hobey Baker Award after tallying 65 points in 36 college games.
