Russia
Vladislav Kotkov
Big and powerful winger with decent offensive skill-set. Potential middle-six winger.
Pavel Koltygin
Offensive center with good puck skills and a good shot. Needs to work on his skating and defensive play to reach the NHL.
Bulat Shafigullin
Displays a sixth sense for scoring but his vision and playmaking will need some polish. Could be a sleeper.
Maxim Zhukov
A raw goalie that has decent size and mobility.
Dmitri Semykin
Semykin's strong defensive characteristic's and track record project him to be a longer-term strong transition and shut-down defenseman with relatively low offensive upside.
Viktor Antipin
Strong offensive capabilities. Creates plays. Needs a more developed point shot. Successful power-play experience.
Andrey Pedan
Bottom-pair defender with good speed who enjoys engaging physically. Limited offensive ceiling.
Dmitrii Sergeev
AHL Dman
Sergei Zborovskiy
The lanky blueliner projects as a shutdown defender, not a point-producer, although he might be redefining himself with eye-popping offensive stats early in the WHL 2016-17 campaign.
Maxim Shalunov
Worrying that he chose to stay longer in Russia, but has sparked offensively and is increasing in value
