Kornei Korneyev

October 2025-Korneyev has already been traded this year, but the change of scenery has not slowed him down as he has seven points in his first eight games. Korneyev has high-end flashes that indicate a capable top-six player, but the rest of his game needs to develop in order for him to unlock his potential. He finishes his checks and is relentless on the forecheck, but with the puck on his stick, Korneyev shines by finding lanes nobody else can find. He will not go high in the draft, but as a day two pick, Korneyev is a strong bet based on his flashes and upside.-James Connelly
