Sportsnet has ranked Alexander Zharovsky, the Montreal prospect who plays for Salavat Yulaev, third among NHL prospects under 23.
Only drafted players who have yet to make their NHL debut were eligible. Ivar Stenberg of San Jose is first, Gavin McKenna of Toronto second. Zharovsky sits one place ahead of his Montreal team-mate Michael Hage.
Three more Russians made the list. Roman Kantserov of Chicago is eighth, Anton Silayev of New Jersey 21st and Yegor Surin of Nashville, who plays for Lokomotiv, 22nd. Silayev is a defenceman; the others named here are forwards.
Zharovsky's club, Salavat Yulaev, are second in the KHL table with 0 points after 7 games, according to our data. The club parted with goalkeeper Ilya Konovalov on 11 September, two days after a 5:8 loss to Barys.
If Zharovsky moves to Montreal, this ranking may mean he arrives with more expected of him than most first-year forwards.
