Sergei Ivanov
Diminutive but quick and athletic Russian goalie. His quickness and agility makes up for his short stature, and early results in the KHL look fantastic. Time will tell if he makes the jump to North America.
Matvei Shuravin
A large defenseman that can skate well and shut down opponents at a high level. His offensive and transition game are in question but considering his strong skating foundation Shuravin could develop into a competent middle-pairing defenseman who can pitch in offensively.
Aatos Koivu
A shifty, intelligent forward that can punish unsuspecting defensemen with his shot
Ivan Demidov
Demidov is as electrifying a prospect as you can find, with a game built on elite creativity, escapability, and puck skill.
Olof Glifford
A sizeable 6-5 goaltender who moves well and has solid fundamentals. Glifford needs to work on over-adjusting and playing closer to his size. He has a long way to making the NHL but could one day be an all-star netminder if he pieces all of his tools together
Tobias Geisser
Geisser is a big bodied defenseman and appears to have some untapped offense.
Kasper Puutio
Excellent shutdown defender with good offensive instincts. Fell in the draft due to size concerns and puck management issues, particularly on offence and during breakouts, but he has shown promising growth in these areas over the last couple years.
Dmitry Ovchinnikov
An incredibly quick skater with exceptional vision and a quality release. Needs to add strength and round out his play off the puck but could grow into an offensive contributor at the pro level.
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.
