Russia
Mikhail Gulyayev
Undersized but dynamic puck moving defenseman who defends well despite his physical limitations. Could grow into a serviceable top-four defender but needs a tryout on special teams.
Ilya Nabokov
A positionally-sound and controlled netminder who put up excellent results in a full-time KHL role at 20 years of age.
Maxim Shabanov
A small, shifty player who can feather passes through the seams or shoot the puck through small targets. High upside player who carries some risk.
Gleb Trikozov
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.
Kirill Dolzhenkov
A massive winger with questionable decision-making and defensive play, he needs to learn how to utilize his size correctly. Has a great shot and solid offensive instincts.
Prokhor Poltapov
Energetic forward who plays at a high pace. Has enough skill to grow into an effective middle-six NHL forward.
Roman Bausov
Big, physical, smooth skating defenseman that projects to be a penalty killer. Could have value in multi-cat leagues that use hits. Needs to keep developing offense.
Aydar Suniev
Suniev is a winger with an array of plus-level tools and habits, if he can significantly improve his skating, he has upside as a versatile two-way goalscorer in a middle-six.
Lavr Gashilov
Intelligent, detailed C with good vision to match.
Vladimir Grudinin
Undersized offensive defenseman with great mobility and puck skills. Needs to continue to mature physically but has the skill to reach the NHL.
