Russia
An impressively dynamic player for his size, Shlaine is all offense and no defense. He has the puck on his stick often, driving offense himself rather than through his teammates. He has a slim chance of becoming an elite playmaker, but odds are this pick is one to forget.
Big-bodied, physical right-handed defenseman with bottom-pair, penalty-killing upside.
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.
A playmaking forward who is always on the move, has a great shot, and is dangerous on the power play.
Average sized netminder coming up the Russian ranks.
A shifty, playmaking winger who needs to put on size.
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.
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.
A tall Russian netminder just breaking into the Russian Junior ranks.
A puck-moving defenseman who is reliable defensively.
