The CHL import draft will be a mix of mainly 2006s (eligible for this year's NHL draft) and 2007s (eligible for next year's NHL draft).

Here is a link for the top 159 import skaters as ranked by NHL central scouting for the upcoming draft in June. Elite Prospects - NHL Draft Center NHL CENTRAL SCOUTING TOP 32 EU

Here is a link for the top 47 import skaters as ranked by NHL central scouting for next year's draft. Elite Prospects - NHL Draft Center

We'll need someone with more knowledge to let us know which players may be interested in coming to play in NA.
The inclusion of Russian and Belarussian players this year will make things interesting.

I’ve opened a thread in the Prospects section each year that usually got a ton of responses. Probably a better place than here to get information. Haven’t done it yet this year, so feel free to do it.

What about top russians from 2006, 2005 birth years

Anyone hearing anything? Import draft is alot of cooked deals with agents/teams.

Saginaw has almost exclusively been drafting players from the Gold Star agency the last few import drafts with great success. I expect them to continue that trend with two open import spots.

No inside knowledge but I could see them getting someone pretty good willing to report to play alongside Misa in his draft year.

I don't know is any 2025 NHL draft eligible
Finnish player considering to come CHL 2024-2025 season.

But 2024 draft eligibles have two Finns who should seriously consider to CHL
if they get drafted this year those guys are Niilo-Pekka Muhonen and Emil Hemming.

I was totally surprised both those guys ( Hemming and Muhonen )
went undrafted in CHL last year. So hopefully that will change this year.

Kingston the only OHL team not making a selection.
Sarnia, Barrie, Flint, Owen Sound, Sudbury, Brantford, Kitchener, Soo, Saginaw, London are the teams selecting twice.

Hard to call him a steal at 8th overall?

fair enough lol

 

[User13452]

Chernyshov at 56th overall would probably be the steal as of now if he reports
