Alexander Nikishin
A big-bodied defenceman with an aggressive mindset and a big slapshot.

Artamonov is a skilled, intelligent, and high-motor winger who has played impressive hockey in Torpedo's Top 6 and top PP unit at just 17 years of age.
A positionally-sound and controlled netminder who put up excellent results in a full-time KHL role at 20 years of age.
A skilled and tenacious yet diminutive winger who lacks strength.
Fisker Mølgaard is an intelligent, intense, and strong defensive forward who finds soft ice in the offensive zone and has an array of refined professional habits, his ceiling will be determined by just how much his offensive tools can be developed.
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.
A good sized goalie who has had success at the lower Russian levels. Will need to translate that success to the KHL level to be viewed as a potential fantasy asset.
Hardworking and dynamic playmaking centre with two-way upside.
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.
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.
