Overview

• Daily Faceoff published a preliminary roster projection following Canada’s Summer Showcase in Minnesota, detailing potential forward lines, defensive pairings and a deep goaltending corps.
• The projection assumes elite prospects Zayne Parekh and Michael Misa will start the season in the NHL, making them unlikely tournament participants.
• Standout forward lines feature Gavin McKenna, Berkly Catton and Porter Martone, while Jett Luchanko is slated for a third-line shutdown role if available.
• The pairing of Matthew Schaefer and Harrison Brunicke leads a defensive unit rounded out by both size and skill, including young standouts Keaton Verhoeff and Landon DuPont.
• Goaltenders Carter George, Jack Ivankovic and Joshua Ravensbergen form what Daily Faceoff describes as one of Canada’s deepest crease groups ever.
