Tobias Geisser
Geisser is a big bodied defenseman and appears to have some untapped offense.
Kasper Puutio
Excellent shutdown defender with good offensive instincts. Fell in the draft due to size concerns and puck management issues, particularly on offence and during breakouts, but he has shown promising growth in these areas over the last couple years.
Dmitry Ovchinnikov
An incredibly quick skater with exceptional vision and a quality release. Needs to add strength and round out his play off the puck but could grow into an offensive contributor at the pro level.
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.
Anton Johannesson
An undersized, mobile, offence-minded defenceman. Injury-prone, long-term development project that needs to stay healthy.
Kristian Vesalainen
An inconsistent power forward who can play both wing positions and possesses a heavy shot. Can be an effective checking line winger because of his size and effort along the boards, but he has the offensive upside to play higher in the lineup and contribute to the power play.
Ludwig Persson
Smooth skating offensively-minded forward. Needs to round out the rest of his game to earn opportunities to let his offense shine but possesses legitimate upside as a scoring threat at the NHL level.
Joel Nystrom
Strong skater who plays big minutes for one of the better teams in the SHL. Defense is ahead of offense, but the offense has some indications that show room for growth and potential. Could play NHL games later down the line.
Mikhail Ilyin
Ilyin is a slow footed but incredibly creative forward with middle-six upside.
