Timur Kol
A big meat-and-potatoes defenseman who played well against pro competition as a young draft-eligible.
Ilya Safonov
A smart defense-first type player and an excellent penalty killer with a big frame that sees the ice well. He makes good decisions with and without the puck and tends to be in the right place at the right time; there is potential for more of a two-way player within the right situation.
Egor Zavragin
A quick, athletic goaltender. Has good rebound control with an excellent glove hand.
Melker Thelin
Has displayed potential to become a backup goaltender at the NHL level—a long-term project.
Nikita Yevseyev
A legitimate NHL prospect, with the unknown of coming to North America from Russia. An excellent skating defenseman with good mobility and agility who is not afraid to be physical.
Kirill Tankov
A center that can make things happen all over the ice with the size and skill to make an impact offensively. Whether he plays in North America is unknown.
Kevin Bicker
A winger that plays a complete 200-foot game and skates well. Competes in the hard areas and has the skill to beat opponents one on one. Lacks offensive production.
Ilya Pautov
A playmaking winger with offensive upside.
Nikolai Makarov
Large defenseman who plays a well-rounded game. Can move well on his feet and make smart plays on transition. Not biggest offensive producer, but uses his size to his advantage defensively, using his body and long stick to break up plays.
Vasily Ponomarev
A versatile forward with an eye for play creation. Loves to get in on the forecheck.
