Good size and quickness with lots of upside. Fantasy value currently capped due to his back-up role in Carolina's crease. However, he can provide value on nights he starts.

Artem Duda

Offensive-minded defenseman with size and skill. Efficient as a power-play quarterback and a great decision-maker with the puck. Defending backwards is a work in progress, but could crack a top-four.

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.

Nikita Novikov

By |2025-07-06T09:32:20-04:00June 22nd, 2025|

A steady, quiet two-way defender. Plays a cautious defensive game with few offensive assertions. Sometimes is slow to react to developing plays.

Kirill Kirsanov

Cerebral defensive defenceman who is responsible in his own end and has a good stick. Can distribute the puck, indicating moderate offensive upside.

Alexander Kisakov

By |2025-07-06T14:01:54-04:00June 22nd, 2025|

Shifty, dual-threat offensive winger with defensive deficiencies and physical limitations. Great shot and intelligent playmaking give him a high ceiling, but there's work needed to make him a sure bet at the NHL level.

Yegor Rimashevskiy

By |2025-06-22T15:29:10-04:00June 22nd, 2025|

A Russian prospect not in North America, with a high upside on the offensive end but lacking on the defensive end. If he can become a 200-foot player and decides to move to North America, he is a top-nine player with an upside for more.

Nikita Yevseyev

By |2025-06-22T12:39:45-04:00June 22nd, 2025|

A legitimate NHL prospect, with the unknown of coming to North America from Russia. An excellent skating defenseman with good mobility and agility who is not afraid to be physical.
