Antti Saarela (W - Finland – NHL Draft 123rd overall by Chicago/125th overall by Springfield) - Saarela plays a fearless style of game and isn’t afraid to get his nose dirty, he is a great skater who can create offensive opportunities because of his speed and plays a reliable defensive game as well.
Moritz Seider (D - Germany – NHL Draft 6th overall by Detroit/17th overall by Springfield)
Springfield’s top pick in the 2019 draft, the big German defenseman has endeared himself to the locals overseas, where he has matched his great skating and skill with a physical edge that gets Topes fans roaring in the stands.
Martin Has (D- Czech Republic – NHL Draft 153rd overall by Washington/204th overall by Springfield) - Hugo creates offense in the modern style of NHL defensemen: jumping into the rush, taking shots from in close, and always being a passing option. His slapshot isn't the booming slapper that everyone loves, but the release is good, and he doesn't need to bomb the top corners if he can keep it low for tips and deflections.
Olivier Rodrigue (G – Canada – 2018 NHL Draft 62nd overall by Edmonton/36th overall by Springfield) - Agile goaltender with good reflexes and the ability to stay poised when under pressure. He’ll need some time in the minors before being CCHL ready.
Barrett Hayton (C – Canada – 2018 NHL Draft 5th overall by Arizona/11th overall by Fort Erie)
Hayton has been named Team Canada’s captain for the World Junior Championship. someone who does a lot of things well. He can score with an excellent shot. He’s a good passer. He has some of the best hands in this draft. He can kill penalties and isn’t afraid to forecheck the heck out of you. He’s relentless in his own end.
Springfield is looking forward to seeing what the young guys can do for the team in the near future....and drafting some eligible players to join.
