Russia
Vitali Abramov
Undersized but very talented winger. Upside to become a very productive top-six player in the NHL.
Alexander Khokhlachev
Khokhlachev is a creative and shifty forward with soft hands, excelling as both a playmaker and a finisher. He is a smooth skater and has a quick, accurate shot.
Alexander Volkov
Reliable two-way winger with good offensive instincts and goal-scoring touch. Well-rounded skill set and may become a middle-six NHL option in the near future.
Nikita Popugayev
Speedy middle-six winger with size
Kirill Ustimenko
He is a good fallback to give a longer look in the off-chance that both Hart and Sandstrom fall through, still years away from being an NHL fixture though.
Valentin Zykov
Rugged multi-category middle-six winger with scoring upside.
Maxim Letunov
Lanky centerman with bottom- six upside if he can show pro consistency
Nikita Scherbak
Scherbak is a strong forward who has made significant development since arriving in North America. The Russian winger projects as a scoring-line winger
Ivan Morozov
He has all of the tools to become a regular in the NHL, but his offensive upside is still questionable as to whether he can become a top-6 talent.
Sergei Shumakov
Shumakov improved his scoring in the KHL every season since entering the league in 2012-2013. He has the skill to be a top six winger but needs the opportunity to produce. Likely is more of a line complimentor than a line driver
