Which of the usual suspects projected around #16 fit that bill the most?
Not really. Maybe Cristall?

I'd say Pelikka or Gulyayev on D, they of a smaller ish stature.

EDIT: Pelikka got a massive boost from the U-18s I suspect he will go between #6 and 10.

So any Russian would be my answer in total. Yeah, because any one of them would be top 10 is not for the passport. Yep.
