Stepan Gorbunov
An imposing skater that can play both forward and defense, Gorbunov skates well for his size, and as he continues to refine his game, could be an excellent bottom-six piece who can add points and penalty minutes.
Lenni Hämeenaho
Solid complementary winger who excels battling around the net and along the boards. Could grow into a solid middle-six NHL forward with added pace.
Arseni Gritsyuk
Gritsyuk is a pest that will drive opponents nuts and he can create offense for himself out of nothing at times. There is an upside if patient.
Ilya Nabokov
A positionally-sound and controlled netminder who put up excellent results in a full-time KHL role at 20 years of age.
Zeb Forsfjäll
A skilled and tenacious yet diminutive winger who lacks strength.
Damien Riat
A good value pick for the Capitals. He appears to be a dangerous top six forward but time and increased competition is needed for him to continue developing.
Filip Eriksson
Hardworking and dynamic playmaking centre with two-way upside.
Albert Wikman
An excellent skater whose game is built around his mobility and frame. While his offensive skillset is not the most robust, he could put up points when relied upon. He could become an NHLer who can produce on the bottom pair in sheltered minutes.
Alfons Freij
An average-sized defenseman who can create offence with an above-average shot and pro-ready one-timer. Has NHL skill and mobility but lacks hockey sense. Needs to develop on both sides of the puck; the offence is ahead of the defence. Has the potential to make an impact in all three zones and the upside to become a number three puck-moving defenseman.
Mikus Vecvanags
An athletic and versatile goalie who can handle a large workload. Still needs to fill in his frame and add strength.
