Russia
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.
Arsenii Sergeev
An athletic, technically strong goaltender.
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.
Artyom Galimov
An undersized forward who has taken time to develop offensively, he has the skill to become a reliable middle-six forward. Given his experience in the KHL, he could be in line for immediate production in the NHL once he comes to North America.
Nikita Artamonov
A skilled, intelligent, and high-motor winger who has played impressive hockey in the top-six and top power play unit.
Maxim Berezkin
A power forward with strong goal scoring abilities. His skating will need to improve if he hopes to be a middle-six winger in the NHL in the future
Dmitri Gamzin
A very athletic goalie with good technique.
