Ilyin is a slow footed but incredibly creative forward with middle-six upside.
A dual-threat winger who makes his teammates better the second he steps on the ice. He is smart and skilled, playing off his linemates' strengths and adapting his game to theirs. He may not drive a line but he will boost any line's production.
A puck-rushing defenseman with great size. A skilled player who knows how to handle the puck at high speed. Not the most dynamic player in the offensive end but capable of producing points. Needs to improve decision-making and defensive zone play.
Shows flashes of high-end skill along with shifty skating. Long shot at being an NHL regular.
Well-rounded and dynamic offensive player who can create offense with his playmaking and vision as well as his quick release. Has positional versatility but projects as more of a winger at the pro level.
An aggressive goalie for his size, Khazheyev loves to use his strong skating ability while in the net to move from post to post. Could stand to be more conservative while in net. Projects to make the move to North America within the next 2-3 years
A big goalie who plays a little passive in his own net. Uses his size to see around screens and also has solid movement for a goalie of his size. Hasn’t gotten a ton of playing time in Germany until this past year.
Gifted offensive center with strong skating and stickhandling. Needs to improve his defensive game and on-puck habits, but could be a top-six producer at the NHL level.
An offensive-minded defender who can run a powerplay in the future.
Undersized but dynamic puck moving defenseman who defends well despite his physical limitations. Could grow into a serviceable top-four defender with the ability to drive offense and quarterback a powerplay at the NHL level.
