Russia
Ivan Tkach-Tkachenko
A big goaltender who plays aggressively, frequently challenging shooters and has a great glove hand. Needs to work on rebound control and working through screens. A long-term project.
Artyom Barabosha
Big-bodied, physical right-handed defenseman with bottom-pair, penalty-killing upside.
Dmitri Zlodeyev
A responsible 200-foot player with solid playmaking and shooting ability. Can lead a powerplay by himself. Not always able to play against physically strong opponents.
Roman Luttsev
A playmaking forward who is always on the move, has a great shot, and is dangerous on the power play.
Andrei Trofimov
Average sized netminder coming up the Russian ranks.
Dmitri Isayev
A shifty, playmaking winger who needs to put on size.
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.
Stepan Gorbunov
An imposing skater that can play both forward and defense, Gorbunov skates well for his size, and as he continues to refine his game, could be an excellent bottom-six piece who can add points and penalty minutes.
Yegor Midlak
A tall Russian netminder just breaking into the Russian Junior ranks.
Nikita Tyurin
A puck-moving defenseman who is reliable defensively.
