Just missing the cut of making the top 5 on our Top 25 Under 25, is the Russian elite goal scorer Dmitry Sokolov. In the 2017 edition, Sokolov debuted at number 10, so he has shown strides that have caught the eyes of us writers here at Hockey Wilderness to be a top prospect for the Wild.
Not only do the Wild have a top prospect from Russia in Kirill Kaprizov, they also have Sokolov. Going into the 2015 season, Sokolov moved from Russia to Canada to play in the CHL and was drafted #3 by Sudbury.
