Last time, we went over the top ten drafted American players and discovered a list highlighted by Quinn Hughes, Adam Fox, and Thatcher Demko. Today, we’re going to be going to Mother Russia and checking out the best they have to offer in terms of the future. Without further ado, let’s have a look at the top ten Russian prospects.
1. Kirill Kaprizov (LW, Minnesota Wild – 5th Round, 135th Overall in 2015)
Kaprizov is without a doubt the most awaited drafted prospect in the league. The 21-year-old winger has been torching the KHL for a few years now, and has 51 points in 57 games for CSKA Moskva along with six points in six playoff games thus far.
