L4
| Olofsson is a depth forward who averages around 11:00 per game TOI He's deployed at ES and PK Provides energy, consistent compete, sound three zone awareness.

| Andrew Cogliano | | C | 36 | 1 of 1 | 79

Transitional 'D ' - PP QB - Matches up versus top lines / opponents Detailed approach in all three zones. When out of position his elite quickness, and skating stride, allows him to track and regain proper positioning. Dynamic in open ice leading the rush.

Leading scorer and top (+/-) for the Avs. Complete player. | Nov. 24, 2023 | Nov. 25, 2023 |
| Casey Mittelstadt | | C | 24 | 1 of 2 | 76
L2
| Took a significant step forward in (22/23). At the beginning stages of contributing in a full time 2F role. Element is offense. Good stick and puck touch. Sees the ice in the offensive zone. Generally makes plays from the perimeter. Doesn't provide a heavy interior game or lean on opponents on the wall, but when he gets time and space he will move to high danger areas to make plays at the net. Averaging 16:39 TOI to start the (23/24) season - ES 14:43 - PP 1:54 - very rarely used on the PK / if he sees time killing penalties its generally in a clean up role with time winding down on the PK. Room for improvement in the face-off circle (31%). Zero hits and two shot blocks through five games. Fitness has improved. Detail has followed suit. Only needs to be average in the defensive zone and play to his offensive element to have positive impact for the group. | Oct. 21, 2023 | Oct. 23, 2023 |

| Calum Ritchie | | C | 18 | 2 of 3 | C+
L2
| Big body - potential power forward who leans goal scorer more than playmaker Threat to produce on the power-play. Net front he can be a load to handle for defenders. Room for more pace and drive overall. Cerebral player who leaves me wanting more BUT also produces more than his share of offense at the OHL level. Will need to play consistently quicker/faster/ more engaged for element to impact NHL game. | Apr. 30, 2023 | - |
| Jason Polin | | C | 23 | 1 of 1 | C+
M6
| The leading goal scorer in NCAA. Leans shooter more than distributor. Has been deployed in all situations at WMU. Some nights his TOI has eclipsed (23:00). A play driver who looks to get the puck on net off the rush. Averages nearly (4) SOG per sixty minutes. On the PP he works off the weak side flank. At even strength his line starts and ends periods.

T6
| A perplexing prospect who is an average plus skater - good size - great hands Has a ton to offer offensively - but picks his spots at times His ability to find 'quiet ice' and anticipate where the play is developing speaks to his hockey IQ The kind of player who goes about his business without a ton of fanfare - then sneaks up and scores - or creates - offense at the most important time of the game | Jan. 25, 2023 | Feb. 7, 2023 |
| Gianni Fairbrother | | LD | 21 | 1 of 1 | 57
RL
| 2-way 'D' Plays a mostly low risk / simple game with the puck. Outlets are generally sound. Rarely leads the rush on his own. Not shy about leaning on opponents. When timing is on he gaps up to kill zone entries. Not elite in any one category. Not a PP candidate but he does have the IQ to PK. At this stage in his development he projects to be a potential recall 'D' | Sep. 15, 2022 | Sep. 26, 2022 |

| Josh Manson | | RD | 30 | 1 of 4 | Plays hard minutes at ES and on the PK. Not used on the PP. Active on the PK. Rotates into lanes. Closes quickly in small areas. Battles. This is a player who compliments a more active partner at ES. He can be relied upon to take care of things on the defensive side while his partner is rushing the puck or involved offensively. He's not a simple stay at home 'D' however as he will occasionally pinch down or look to slide back door as an option. Reliable puck plays / outlets | Mar. 1, 2022 | Jul. 12, 2022 | |
