Russia
Mikhail Yegorov
Big, technically-sound netminder who covers a ton of net. Could become an NHL starter with improvements to his footwork and positioning.
Ivan Miroshnichenko
Highly talented offensive weapon that can impact the game with his shot as well as his passing ability. Needs to become more consistent with his compete level but has the raw skill to be a star in the NHL.
Roman Shokhrin
A hyper-aggressive shutdown defenseman who has flashes of offensive upside and puck-handling ability.
Anton Silayev
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.
Matvei Michkov
A generational goal scoring talent who is a threat from all over the offensive zone. His quick and accurate release, along with his elite offensive vision, should make him a star in the NHL whenever he arrives.
Stepan Gorbunov
An imposing skater that can play both forward and defense, Gorbunov skates well for his size, and as he continues to refine his game, could be an excellent bottom-six piece who can add points and penalty minutes.
Arseni Gritsyuk
Gritsyuk is a pest that will drive opponents nuts and he can create offense for himself out of nothing at times. There is an upside if patient.
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 Groshev
A big power forward with middle-six upside. More of a complementary offensive player than someone who creates offense on a regular basis.
Andrei Svetlakov
There appears to be a potential bottom six NHLer there, but it’s a matter of if and when he makes the jump.
