Russia
Yegor Surin
An offensively gifted, gritty center that needs discipline to be more projectable.
Ivan Demidov
Demidov is as electrifying a prospect as you can find, with a game built on elite creativity, escapability, and puck skill.
Artyom Shchuchinov
An undersized mobile puck-moving defenseman with untapped offensive upside.
Dmitry Ovchinnikov
An incredibly quick skater with exceptional vision and a quality release. Needs to add strength and round out his play off the puck but could grow into an offensive contributor at the pro level.
Mikhail Abramov
Creative playmaker who continues to diversify his offensive game. Will need to add strength while improving his off-puck game but has middle-six NHL potential.
Alexander Pelevin
Enforcer, shutdown defenseman who loves to throw his body weight around even though he isn’t the biggest player.
Timur Mukhanov
Diminutive forward with outstanding skating ability and good offensive vision. Lack of size and strength could hold him back, but he has the skill to drive offense at the pro level.
Pavel Mintyukov
Offensively minded blueliner with good size. Will need to hone his defensive game but has the potential to be an offensive driver from the back end.
Artur Akhtyamov
Strong positional netminder with good reflexes and compete level.
Nikita Grebyonkin
Playmaking winger with great vision and puck skills to complement a projectable frame. Will have to improve his stride and defensive game but has potential as a long-term project.
