Daniil Pylenkov
A physical defenseman who is solid on his end, a good puck mover, and has some offensive upside. He must move to North America from the KHL to get on the fantasy radar.
Linus Eriksson
An intelligent and defensively capable pivot who could forge a long-term NHL career and a bottom-six center.
Viljami Marjala
A skilled offensive forward who can play at center or wing. An excellent skater and capable of making plays at high speed.
Artyom Galimov
An undersized forward who has taken time to develop offensively, he has the skill to become a reliable middle-six forward. Given his experience in the KHL, he could be in line for immediate production in the NHL once he comes to North America.
Nikita Artamonov
A skilled, intelligent, and high-motor winger who has played impressive hockey in the top-six and top power play unit.
Jiří Felcman
A big center who moves well. Knows how to use his body in front of the net, screening goaltenders and deflecting shots. Needs to develop his all-around 200-foot game. He is worth watching in the deep leagues, but patience is required to see how he develops.
Rodwin Dionicio
A below-average skater, making him a defensive liability at times. Even with that, he has good offensive awareness and hockey IQ. If his skating can improve, there is a top-four upside.
Jesse Kiiskinen
A physical, hard-forechecking scoring winger with a good set of hands and an effective shot needs consistency in his overall game. Still, with proper development, he can become a middle-six forward.
Maxim Berezkin
A power forward with strong goal scoring abilities. His skating will need to improve if he hopes to be a middle-six winger in the NHL in the future
Marcus Gidlöf
A massive goalie who needs to refine many of his details and habits but could go high on draft day and develop well.
