Rafikov has shown zero interest in playing in North America. He is currently 24 years-old and signed for two more seasons in the KHL. Arguably, that puts him over the 25 year-old cut off for these rankings.
By that same measure, Foo shouldn't be included either.
As for McKenna, either he shouldn't be included because he's on an AHL-only deal or other under-25 players on AHL-only contracts (Corey Schueneman and Mason Morelli) should be included too.
