How can you watch some of the top hockey players outside of the NHL this season? Here is a guide.
There’s never any shortage of talent of NHL interest in Russia, but this season, which is already underway, is shaping up to be a particularly fascinating one. Hurricanes draftee Alexander Nikishin , who last year led all KHL defencemen in points as a 21-year-old, is widely viewed at this point as the best defenceman outside the NHL.
Anton Silayev, a 6-foot-7 defenceman who is eligible in 2024, has made waves in the scouting world by making Torpedo’s KHL team to start the year as well.and Red Wings prospect Dmitri Buchelnikov are both off to strong starts in the VHL as well. At the junior level, keep an eye on 2024 prospect Igor Chernyshov with Dynamo Moscow’s MHL club, as well. There’s also a lot of chatter around 2025 forward Ivan Ryabkin , who had a two-point debut in the MHL and torched the levels below it domestically, and 2025 goalie prospect Pyotr Andreyanov, who is already viewed by some the next great Russian goalie.
The story of the moment in Russian hockey, though, is the ongoing, now-international conflict surrounding goalie Ivan Fedotov, who, despite signing a contract with the Flyers, remains with CSKA Moscow a year after he. Fedotov, CSKA Moscow and the KHL are now all under IIHF sanctions because of it, as the country and its top league and club further alienate themselves from the rest of the hockey world in the midst of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
