Russia
Mikhail Ilyin
Ilyin is a slow footed but incredibly creative forward with middle-six upside.
Matvei Shuravin
A large defenseman that can skate well and shut down opponents at a high level. His offensive and transition game are in question but considering his strong skating foundation Shuravin could develop into a competent middle-pairing defenseman who can pitch in offensively.
Arsenii Sergeev
An athletic, technically strong goaltender.
Igor Chernyshov
Smooth-skating playmaker with power-forward elements. Dominates the small-area game, and could develop into a top-six piece either at center or wing.
Aydar Suniev
Suniev is a winger with an array of plus-level tools and habits, if he can significantly improve his skating, he has upside as a versatile two-way goalscorer in a middle-six.
Kirill Gerasimyuk
A butterfly goaltender putting up dominant numbers in the lower levels of Russian hockey. Moves and tracks pucks well but could become a career KHL goaltender.
Kirill Dolzhenkov
A massive winger with questionable decision-making and defensive play, he needs to learn how to utilize his size correctly. Has a great shot and solid offensive instincts.
Ilya Solovyov
A big, steady force on defence who blocks shots and loves throwing hits anywhere on the ice.
Daniil Pylenkov
A physical defenseman who is solid on his end, a good puck mover, and has some offensive upside. He must move to North America from the KHL to get on the fantasy radar.
Stiven Sardarian
A highly skilled but undersized forward with an awkward skating stride who lacks playmaking and finishing ability and is not good off the puck. A weak forechecker who needs to be significantly more mobile and assertive to make it to the next level.
