Russia
Alexander Kisakov
Shifty, dual-threat offensive winger with defensive deficiencies and physical limitations. Great shot and intelligent playmaking give him a high ceiling, but there's work needed to make him a sure bet at the NHL level.
Semyon Der-Arguchintsev
Diminutive but highly skilled center with a pass-first mentality. Needs to continue to round out his game and add strength to his slight frame.
Yevgeni Volokhin
A large, lanky netminder with incredible MHL statistics.
Fyodor Avramov
A raw but skilled hulking winger who uses his physicality liberally.
Kirill Kudryavtsev
A creative defender who brings a little bit of everything to the table. Despite being a seventh-round pick, carries sneaky NHL upside
Sergei Murashov
An intelligent goalie who tracks and anticipates the puck well. Lacks high-end athleticism and size but is aggressive in the crease and challenges shooters. A long-term project like many Russian netminders, worth keeping an eye on in deep dynasty leagues.
Daniil Skvortsov
A sturdily built defenseman who plays a physical, sensible, game, closing checks and moving the puck the puck up ice with intention.
Nikita Ovcharov
Hard-shooting sniper with speed and size
Alexei Vlasov
Smaller offensive forward with a high-end shot
Yan Melnikov
A silky undersized playmaker, who also is willing to play physically on the forecheck. Melnikov’s offensive touch has earned him a handful of games at the VHL level.
