Ivan Ryabkin

January 2025 – Entering the season, Ryabkin was consistently ranked in the top 5-10 on many preseason draft lists. He set records in Russia’s junior league, the MHL, and produced better than Matvei Michkov and Ivan Demidov at the same age. Since then, Ryabkin has played in three different Russian leagues with minimal success (and playing time) before signing with Muskegon of the USHL. He’s produced three goals in four games, but has already been suspended three games after a dirty slew foot incident. Last season, when he was at his best, Ryabkin looked like a very physical, point producing C prospect. That’s his ultimate upside, but the likelihood of him reaching that has plummeted the last four months.  Jordan Harris
