Ranking the 2009-Born Russian age group is not easy because of the talent and depth, but I did my best in my latest piece on Substack.
Two potential No. 1 pick options for the 2027 NHL Draft and multiple other first round challengers.

Daniil Yermolov is selected by the Madison Capitals!
My No. 4 ranked 2009-born Russian forward, he wasnβt given many MHL games this year, but his skill, playmaking, and physicality all provide immense upside in his game. Really interesting selection.

Some quick thoughts on the four big ELC signings from today: https://t.co/9JzW2xSpPH
Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod has made a qualifying offer for 21-year-old Anton Silayev (NJD).
He had 3 points in 61 games played last year, saw his ice time drop from 17:35 to 12:49 TOI/GP over the past two seasons.

π§πΎ D Yevgeni Tsarikevich really stood out at the U15 Champions Cup earlier this month.
Second in his team in scoring with 3g, 3a in 9gp. Already 6-foot-2 with a wicked shot, lights out on the power play. Could be a name to watch out for.
Ladia Togliatti have dropped out of the MHL and will cease to exist.
They had two players selected in the 2021 NHL Draft (Fyodor Svechkov & Dmitri Kostenko), plus another first round pick back in 2015 with Denis Gurianov.
Alexander Morozov is an expected pick this year.
Sergei Skvortsov signs his first professional contract with Nizhny Novgorod.
Torpedo GM Yevgeni Zabuga:
"[This] will give Sergei a good chance to make his debut in the KHL in the new season, establish himself at a high level, and continue to develop his undeniable talent."
17-year-old Matevi Kotkov (#2026NHLDraft) has been named the MVP of the Kharlamov Cup Playoffs.
He finished second in both goals and overall scoring with 9 goals and 15 points in 18 games.
Dmitri Ishkov will be one of the most talented players out of the 2010 Russian age group.
With elite speed, a dynamic handling and playmaking combination, and a lethal shot... he does it all, and does it all really well.

Alexander Zharosvky (MTL) captains Russia U20 to another Future Cup victory!
