These are just the guys who are expiring next year, so there will be quite a few other guys who are available (especially from the NCAA).
NHL Ready
RW Konstantin Okulov - 95' (KHL) - Middle 6/2PP scorer with 20/20 upside.
LW Julius Nattinen - 97' (NLA) - Middle 6/2PP scorer with 20/20 upside with good size.
C Denis Alexeyev - 97' (KHL) - Bottom 6 stout playmaking center who can provide value with good hands, vision, and faceoff ability.
Needs AHL Refinement
LW Jordan Kawaguchi - 97' (NCAA Sr.) - In many ways similar to Hirose out of college. Middle 6 playmaker upside, but likely not more than a high quality AHLer.
C Odeen Tufto - 97' (NCAA Sr.) - Similar to Kawaguchi, but smaller.
G Matt Galajda - 97' (NCAA Sr. *eligible to return an extra year) - Undersized, but has had an exceptional NCAA career with Cornell.
LW Alex Limoges - 97' (NCAA Sr.) - Power forward with bottom 6 potential. Solid in his own end and had an NCAA-leading 50 points as a Sophomore in 2018-2019, but has struggled to repeat that production.
LD Matt Kiersted - 98' (NCAA Sr.) - Puck moving defenseman who is averaging almost a PPG over his Junior and Senior years. Had good interest last year, and should be even better this year. Nothing elite about him though.
RD Jakob Stenqvist - 98' (Liiga) - Former Dallas 6th round pick. Good size and puck moving ability, and has put up almost a PPG in Liiga while improving his defensive game. Still a bit of a project, but could be a solid bottom pairing defenseman after a couple of years in the AHL.
C Max Johnson - 98' (NCAA Sr.) - Like Limoges, he produced a lot as a Sophomore but hasn't repeated it. Apparently he has become a more well-rounded player though. He's not big, but he can play center and may be a decent bottom 6 center at some point, but more likely organizational depth.
C Riley Stotts - 00' (WHL) - No real weaknesses, but no real strengths either outside of having some high IQ. He is versatile and reliable, but is a very vanilla prospect. Could have easily earned an ELC with the Leafs if he had a strong WHL playoffs.
C Curtis Douglas - 00' (OHL) - 6'9" player with bottom 6 potential. Has all the tools to become an excellent bottom 6 player, but simply needs refinement. I believe some team will give him a shot on an ELC.
C Luke Henman - 00' (QMJHL) - Lesser version of Stotts, but still a solid playmaking prospect. I can see a team giving him an ELC, so I put him on here, but more likely is a priority AHL contract.
