Viggo Bjorck, a small but elite Swedish center, stands out with his two-way play and World Junior MVP performance. Caleb Malhotra, the top center prospect, brings solid two-way skills and NHL pedigree. Tynan Lawrence’s stock dipped after a shaky college season, despite early promise. Others like Oliver Suvanto, Jack Hextall, Maddox Dagenais, and Yegor Shilov offer depth with varying strengths — but none can match the top tier’s potential.
