Russia
Kirill Kirsanov
Cerebral defensive defenceman who is responsible in his own end and has a good stick. Can distribute the puck, indicating moderate offensive upside.
Nikolai Makarov
Large defenseman who plays a well-rounded game. Can move well on his feet and make smart plays on transition. Not biggest offensive producer, but uses his size to his advantage defensively, using his body and long stick to break up plays.
Daniil Tarasov
Has the tools to eventually excel in North American pro ranks. Terrific in prior campaigns, monitor his injury recovery and subsequent performance.
Semyon Chistyakov
Stout defender boasting a versatile 2-way skillset. His offensive game has arrived.
Yegor Spiridonov
Spiridonov is a two way center who excels at both ends of the ice, he’s particularly adept at killing penalties and winning puck battles along the boards.
Maxim Denezhkin
Not the biggest player but he is competitive and possesses a strong work ethic. Bottom six forward with some secondary offence in the NHL.
Egor Afanasyev
A replacement-level producer with soft hands and a large frame. He could play in a team’s bottom-6 to provide some depth scoring while leveraging his size against NHL competition.
Matvei Petrov
Shoot-first offensive winger with top six upside. A good skater that is not afraid to be play a feisty style but could use some improvement in his shift-to shift-compete level.
Ruslan Iskhakov
Very small but very talented offensive forward. A boom-or-bust prospect. Perfect trifecta of talent.
Yegor Zamula
A physical, mobile, puck-moving defenseman with upside. Shows poise in his game. Lacks consistency.
