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.
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.
Artur Akhtyamov
Strong positional netminder with good reflexes and compete level.
Alexander Alexeyev
The big Russian defenseman can skate, play physical, produce offense, and has a hard shot
Bogdan Trineyev
A true power forward with a good offensive toolset. Strong puck mover on the powerplay, but refuses to shoot. Needs to add more muscle to fill himself out.
Vasili Ponomaryov
A versatile forward with an eye for play creation. Loves to get in on the forecheck.
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
