Russia
Daniil Miromanov
Speedy skater and intuitive scorer who transitioned from the wing to defense. Could stand to bulk up more and iron out his defensive game.
Kirill Slepets
Shows flashes of high-end skill along with shifty skating. Long shot at being an NHL regular.
Alexander Suzdalev
Playmaking winger with great hands and good size. Needs to continue to round out his game but could become a middle-six point producing winger at the NHL level.
Matvei Shuravin
A big, mobile defenseman with some real two-way effectiveness but struggles mightily in transition.
Ruslan Khazheyev
An aggressive goalie for his size, Khazheyev loves to use his strong skating ability while in the net to move from post to post. Could stand to be more conservative while in net. Projects to make the move to North America within the next 2-3 years
Maxim Barbashev
Barbashev is a physical forward who plays with an edge, and is an extremely tough player to play against. He has good offensive skills and a good shot, but will need to work on developing consistency in his game.
Vyacheslav Peksa
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.
Vadim Zherenko
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.
Grigori Denisenko
A hard-nosed forward with high-end skill. Top-line upside but some risk as well.
Mikhail Gulyayev
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.
