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.
Joni Jurmo
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.
Kirill Slepets
Shows flashes of high-end skill along with shifty skating. Long shot at being an NHL regular.
Otto Stenberg
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.
Ruslan Khazheyev
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
Nikita Quapp
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.
