The sixth-ranked prospect in our preseason rankings is in the midst of the 2015-16 season with the ZSC Lions of the Swiss National League.
Jonas Siegenthaler was the 57th overall draft choice by the Washington Capitals in the 2015 NHL Draft, and it was a pick the Capitals were excited about.

Siegenthaler stands at 6’2″ and weighs in at 218 pounds. These are very striking measurement because at just 18-years-old, he already has the stature and size of an NHL defenseman.
