2024 Midterm Central Scouting International Skaters

Some interesting players I miss on the lists: Goalie Marcus Gidlof (6ft6, SWE U-20 leader in both SV% and GAA). Forwards: Makar Khanin, Yegor Graf, Liam Danielsson. D-men: Hugo Fransson, Noel Fransen, Eric Burger, Daniil O. Ivanov, Alexei Rodionov, Matvei Krivonozhkin, Vitali Pesterev.

This is a bad ranking list, but that could be close to the right order when comes draft day.

Helenius could be picked as high as 5 if teams consider him a future top 6 center.

Looking at last year, Silayev ahead of Demidov is likely. Teams seems to value big defenseman over small skilled wingers. Rightfully imo.

After WJC, Brandsegg Nygard should be picked ahead of Hemming, but it'll depend on the remaining of the season. They're both similar players.

Scoring wingers playing on their offside can easily put up points on bigger european ice. Doesn't always translate well into the NHL. Could explain why Chernyshov is low.

Last season Chernyshov was really good this year is quite the opposite. This shows that scouts don't look too closely at last year's play.
