10. Sam Brittain, G How acquired: 4th round (No. 92), 2010 draft Last season: 39 GP, 19-14-6, 2.22 GAA, .929 save percentage, University of Denver, NCHC Brittain (6-1, 216) will likely spend this season in San Antonio, where he'll continue his development. He led Denver to the inaugural National Collegiate Hockey Conference championship and was named 2014 NCHC Goalie of the Year after posting five shutouts as a senior.

Brittain, 22, was also one of five finalists for the Mike Richter Award, given to the goalie who best displays outstanding skill on the ice, along with academic achievement, sportsmanship and community service. The Calgary native played in 97 games for Denver and finished 51-34-11 with seven shutouts. "Sam is driven and a student of the game," Luce said. "He's a guy who will have to battle in the American Hockey League to begin his professional career, but he's on that path and, as a goalie, will take longer to get there. We like his attitude and the fact he's had success wherever he's been. His work ethic is impeccable and he wants to be an NHL player. How quickly he gets there is entirely up to him." Projected NHL arrival: 2016-17
