Middle-six center with a moderate offensive ceiling. Has great hands and vision. Not sure if he can handle the physicality of professional hockey. Needs to go to the high traffic areas more to reach his full potential. Won't provide much in terms of peripherals. Good for points only leagues where you can stand the risk for a modest reward.
A raw but skilled hulking winger who uses his physicality liberally.
A big meat-and-potatoes defenseman who played well against pro competition as a young draft-eligible.
Smart defensive player who has decent playmaking potential. Needs to work on using his shot more effectively.
An extremely skilled, high octane winger who plays on the attack. His hands are absolutely ridiculous at times, allowing him to create space and make plays.
Diminutive but quick and athletic Russian goalie. His quickness and agility makes up for his short stature, and early results in the KHL look fantastic. Time will tell if he makes the jump to North America.
A big, athletic goalie settling into a consistent backup role
An offensively gifted, gritty center that needs discipline to be more projectable.
Demidov is as electrifying a prospect as you can find, with a game built on elite creativity, escapability, and puck skill.
