Axel Hurtig here for me. 6'5" and 209 and just turned 20 a few weeks ago. Has been on both the U18 and World Junior teams for Sweden, winning medals each time. Plays a really strong defensive game (+39 in 55 games last year with the Hitmen, despite only getting 16 points) and is fairly physical. Almost no offense whatsoever, but he does defend well it seems.
Big year coming up for him on the Wranglers. I hope he gets some playing time to develop more.
I was very close to also picking Owen Say. Free agent college goalie signing who has worked his way up from some low end junior leagues to one of the bigger NCAA conferences when he played with Notre Dame last year. His numbers have improved every single year and is just entering the prime years for a goaltender to develop. He might be a sleeper prospect.
