Russia
Kirill Tankov
A center that can make things happen all over the ice with the size and skill to make an impact offensively. Whether he plays in North America is unknown.
Nikita Grebenkin
Playmaking winger with great vision and puck skills to complement a projectable frame. Will have to improve his stride and defensive game but has potential as a long-term project.
Ilya Pautov
A playmaking winger with 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.
Bogdan Trineyev
Great fore-checking player, kills penalties and makes important defensive plays. Can chip in points as well
Vasily Ponomarev
A versatile forward with an eye for play creation. Loves to get in on the forecheck.
Ivan Miroshnichenko
Highly talented offensive weapon that can impact the game with his shot as well as his passing ability. Needs to become more consistent with his compete level but has the raw skill to be a star in the NHL.
Mikhail Ilyin
Ilyin is a slow footed but incredibly creative forward with middle-six upside.
Daniil Chayka
An NHL-sized defensive blueliner who has some offensive tools, but hasn't shown consistency in North America.
Alexander Suzdalev
Playmaking winger with great hands and good size. Needs to continue to round out his game but could become a middle-six point producing winger at the NHL level.
