Russia
Vladimir Tkachyov
A highly skilled, playmaking winger with tremendous offensive upside.
Nikita Tryamkin
A massive presence on the back end who skates like the wind and possesses a booming shot. Given the right opportunity could become a multi-category stud. Getting him back across the pond will be the challenge.
Egor Korshkov
Big man with soft hands and goal-scoring timing
Dmitri Katelevsky
A two-way center who has incredible defensive instincts. He needs to work on some of the finer points of the game but his defensive refinement could make him a useful bottom-six piece on an NHL club.
Ivan Nalimov
Extremely large goalie covers a lot of the net and is very athletic for a man that size.
Dmitri Zhukenov
A project offensive player.
Vasili Podkolzin
An abrasive, two-way winger with tantalizing offensive upside. A thorn in the side of every opponent.
Nikolai Knyzhov
Stay at home defenceman with exceptional skating skills. Positionally solid with high hockey IQ. Not known for his offensive production but does all the little things that coaches love.
Pavel Shen
Shen has decent offensive upside and could slot into a top-nine if he ever makes the transition to North America
Ilya Mikheyev
Skilled winger who can play on both special teams well
