Russia
An interesting defenseman that needs a lot of refinement. His offensive creativity and willingness to get involved in the play in all three zones are intriguing. He skates well and exhibits confidencemon with the puck on his stick but will need to reign things in a bit and focus defensively.
Smooth-skating left-handed defenseman with some decent small-area skills and rush defending. Needs to improve his puck skills, but had a great season production-wise in the MHL and could develop into a bottom-four NHL defenseman.
Offensively-minded winger with good vision and great puck skills. Has to improve his play away from the puck but has the skill to produce at the top level.
Well-rounded, intelligent offensive player with a heavy shot and good vision. Has the potential to develop into a solid middle-six forward in the NHL.
A big defender that can contribute offensively but seems content on staying in Russia for the foreseeable future.
Cerebral defensive defenceman who is responsible in his own end and has a good stick. Can distribute the puck, indicating moderate offensive upside.
An elite-level skater with tremendous playmaking ability. A true fantasy boom-or-bust.
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.
Has the tools to eventually excel in North American pro ranks. Terrific in prior campaigns, monitor his injury recovery and subsequent performance.
Stout defender boasting a versatile 2-way skillset.
