Stepan Gorbunov
An imposing skater that can play both forward and defense, Gorbunov skates well for his size, and as he continues to refine his game, could be an excellent bottom-six piece who can add points and penalty minutes.

Drafted as an overage goaltender playing in the Russian junior ranks, a long-term project well off the fantasy radar.
An interesting defenseman that needs a lot of refinement. His offensive creativity and willingness to get involved in the play in all three zones are intriguing. He skates well and exhibits confidencemon with the puck on his stick but will need to reign things in a bit and focus defensively.
Offensively-minded winger with good vision and great puck skills. Has to improve his play away from the puck but has the skill to produce at the top level.
Bottom-four, two-way defenseman with size, mobility, and underrated offensive tools. Strong shot and flashes of a strong first pass. Will have most of his value in category leagues that value hits and PIM.
Despite his small size Sobolev is an aggressive defender who is constantly engaged physically.
