Tier 1
Tier: Bubble NHL Star and top of the lineup player
Lawrence is an excellent skater with a strong motor who brings a lot of pace and energy to his shifts. He’s a very strong puck handler who creates chances on the move. He isn’t an elite offensive threat due to having good, not great, vision, but he has the traits to be a great two-way play-driving No. 1 center in the NHL who can play in all situations.

Verhoeff is a big two-way defenseman. He’s a strong skater, especially for his size. He isn’t flashy offensively, but he has good skill and makes difficult plays with a great point shot that will be a threat in the NHL. He’s hard on his checks and uses his size. He projects as a tough-minutes top-pair defenseman who could score at a quality clip.
