With only four defenders signed in free agency, the PWHL Draft will be crucial for teams to secure their bluelines. Here's a look at the top 36 defenders available in the draft.
Megan Keller, Lee Stecklein, Renata Fast, and Micah-Zandee Hart are already under contract, each signing three year contracts with PWHL franchises during the ten day free agency period.
With only four defenders for six teams signed however, there's a lot of work to do on the blueline for franchises, particularly Montreal and Ottawa who are the lone teams without a defender signed.
With the draft only a week away, here's a look at the top 36 blueliners available in the PWHL Draft:
