Top 32 · 2026 NHL Draft

A well-rounded, steady transitional defender and an outstanding defensive skater, Carels flashed a mean streak, lining up and ending puck carriers off the rush. His physicality is high-end from both a volume and quality standpoint, hitting through his targets with authority. Combine that with an extremely high work rate and overall aggression, and you have a player who makes life miserable for his opponents.
