Marcel Goc (7.0a/7.5a) a 30 y/o high class hockey man. Really good at faceoffs, Good at skating and defense, Marcel's biggest weakness is his shooting and playmaking which make him a natural defender. Goc is a bargain at $1.7M but is in his last year and likely won't come cheap again.
Nick Bjugstad (6.5a/8.0a) A 21 y/o budding superstar. Nick shows amazing hockey sense for someone so young, and his skill at the draw is marvelous. Bjugstad's skating and playmaking are good and his puckhandling is coming along nicely, Nick is normal is most other areas but shows great promise. Best of all, he is under a two way contract for three more years at $900K/$67.5K.
Shawn Mattias (6.5a/6.5a) A burly 6'3" 25 y/o Shawn plays all three forward positions well C(20)/LW(19)/RW(18). Defense, faceoffs and puckhandling are all good traits and Shawns skating and hockey sense are above average. Shawn was originally a 2006 2nd round Detroit draft pick and was acquired that year by Florida. Shawn has two more years on his contract at $1.75M each
Aleksander Barkov (6.0a/8.0a) The second overall pick in this years draft, 18 y/o Barkov shows great hockey sense as well as faceoff skills, His puckhandling, playmaking, and skating skills are good by NHL standards and as can be expected his physicality and defending skills would be put to the test and improvement is expected in those areas. He is under a three year split contract $925K/$70K so some seasoning may be in order for this first year player.
Drew Shore (6.0a/7.0a) A 22 y/o C(20)/RW(16) is a good skater and faceoff man. The 2009 2nd round pick is considered a good puckhandler and has good hockey sense. Playmaking and shooting are areas he needs to work on, but he is average at least. Drew is still locked up for two years on a split contract $900K/$67.5K
Scott Gomez (6.0a/6.0a) This 33 y/o wily veteran is excellent at playmaking and puckhandling and very good at faceoffs and hockey sense. These attributes help hide his deficiencies like his poor conditioning and average skating. Gomez can still play but his lack of conditioning makes him a worrisome first or second liner durability wise. Scott is here on a one year $900K contract.
Vincent Trocheck (5.5a/7.5a) is the dark horse here and should probably be rated higher.
Rallo, Matsumoto and McFarland are nothing special.
