<h2><a href="https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/729161/oscar-fisker-molgaard">No. 40: Oscar Fisker Mølgaard</a></h2>
Date of Birth: February 18, 2005
Nation: Denmark
Position: Centre
Shoots: Left
Height: 6&#8217;0&#8243; 
Weight: 163 lbs
Scouting Report: &#8220;Mølgaard didn’t produce much in the SHL, but the fact that a 2005-born played more than 40 games against some of the best competition in Europe is nothing to sneeze at. He was excellent against U-20 competition, and, honestly, the smart, controlled center could end up becoming one of the biggest steals of the draft given his pro-ready tools.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/2023-nhl-draft-rankings-top-100">Steven Ellis, Daily Faceoff </a>

<h2><a href="https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/607323/caden-price">No. 39: Caden Price</a></h2>
Date of Birth: August 24, 2005
Nation: Canada
Position: Defence
Shoots: Left
Height: 6&#8217;1&#8243;
Weight: 181 lbs
Scouting Report: &#8220;His game-to-game play varies, but when Price is on, he can take over and be the best player on any given shift. He’s a strong skater who throws hits with purpose and loves to rush the puck.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/2023-nhl-draft-rankings-top-100">Steven Ellis, Daily Faceoff </a>

<h2><a href="https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/709538/kasper-halttunen">No. 38: Kasper Halttunen</a></h2>
Date of Birth: June 7, 2005
Nation: Finland
Position: Right Wing
Shoots: Right
Height: 6&#8217;3&#8243;
Weight: 207 lbs
Scouting Report: &#8220;Halttunen produced nothing against men but was too good for HIFK’s U-20 team. He’s big, has a powerful wrister and has produced at all levels up until Liiga. Next year will be a big one. A bit more maturity will help take his game up another level next year.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/2023-nhl-draft-rankings-top-100">Steven Ellis, Daily Faceoff </a>

<h2><a href="https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/535611/gracyn-sawchyn">No. 37: Gracyn Sawchyn</a></h2>
Date of Birth: January 19, 2005
Nation: Canada
Position: Centre
Shoots: Right
Height: 5&#8217;11&#8221;
Weight: 165 lbs
Scouting Report: &#8220;Sawchyn left the USNTDP in 2022 and used it as a chance to earn more ice time and opportunity with Seattle. After scoring at a point-per-game pace, it worked, but he’s just incredibly smart and deceptive with the puck. He’ll be a solid playmaker one day.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/2023-nhl-draft-rankings-top-100">Steven Ellis, Daily Faceoff </a>

<h2><a href="https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/779971/daniil-but">No. 36: Daniil But</a></h2>
Date of Birth: February 15, 2005
Nation: Russia 
Position: Left Wing 
Shoots: Right 
Height: 6&#8217;5&#8243; 
Weight: 203 lbs
Scouting Report: &#8220;The big, skilled winger was a point-per-game player between Yaroslavl’s MHL teams this year and even scored a pair in 15 KHL games. He can do a lot of damage around the crease, both with his shot and how he pushes players around.&#8221; &#8211; <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/news/2023-nhl-draft-rankings-top-100">Steven Ellis, Daily Faceoff </a>
