Do-it-all top-nine winger with physicality and a scoring touch
Lean, athletic goaltender who relies on his reaction time and positioning to stop pucks. A long-term project who has displayed some upside early in his career.
Artamonov is a skilled, intelligent, and high-motor winger who has played impressive hockey in Torpedo's Top 6 and top PP unit at just 17 years of age.
Silayev is a hulking but mobile defenseman who covers a ton of ice with powerful strides and a long reach; while his passing game is a strength, his composure under pressure needs work.
Demidov is as electrifying a prospect as you can find, with a game built on elite creativity, escapability, and puck skill.
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.
Zherenko is a tall goalie, who uses is height and is athletics abilities to stop the puck. Not the best technical goaltender but always makes a great effort to make saves.
A hard-nosed forward with high-end skill. Top-line upside but some risk as well.
Undersized but dynamic puck moving defenseman who defends well despite his physical limitations. Could grow into a serviceable top-four defender with the ability to drive offense and quarterback a powerplay at the NHL level.
High energy, hard-working, goal-scoring winger who isn’t afraid to get to the middle of the ice to generate scoring chances. Top-six potential can contribute to the power play and be an asset on the penalty kill. Add and stash in dynasty leagues, low risk/high reward.
