Russia
Arsenii Sergeev
An athletic, technically strong goaltender.
Igor Chernyshov
Smooth-skating playmaker with power-forward elements. Dominates the small-area game, and could develop into a top-six piece either at center or wing.
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.
Kirill Gerasimyuk
A butterfly goaltender putting up dominant numbers in the lower levels of Russian hockey. Moves and tracks pucks well but could become a career KHL goaltender.
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.
Ilya Solovyov
A big, steady force on defence who blocks shots and loves throwing hits anywhere on the ice.
Daniil Pylenkov
A physical defenseman who is solid on his end, a good puck mover, and has some offensive upside. He must move to North America from the KHL to get on the fantasy radar.
Stiven Sardarian
A highly skilled but undersized forward with an awkward skating stride who lacks playmaking and finishing ability and is not good off the puck. A weak forechecker who needs to be significantly more mobile and assertive to make it to the next level.
Artyom Galimov
An undersized forward who has taken time to develop offensively, he has the skill to become a reliable middle-six forward. Given his experience in the KHL, he could be in line for immediate production in the NHL once he comes to North America.
Nikita Artamonov
A skilled, intelligent, and high-motor winger who has played impressive hockey in the top-six and top power play unit.
