Rafikov.
Kid is quietly progressing well.
After a fantastic junior career including wearing a letter for the Russian national team, he went on last year to a dominant season in the VHL, and this season he stepped up to a full-time spot in the KHL.
Didn't put up flashy numbers, but he's playing in the 2nd best league in the world and still on an upward trajectory.
Although there are serious questions about him ever coming over to North America, I think he has the most upside of anybody left on the list.
