Haven't watched them much, but despite their size, just based on stat lines, we should sign Pohlkamp (who looked great already last summer) + Muldowney for AHL.
Rimashevsky got size, but not sure if he'd go from KHL to AHL.
I think that's openly acknowledged. CHL and KHL have taken a half-step back, while NCAA has taken a step ahead...and maybe the gap between those leagues and the AHL/NHL has also widened!
Out of curiosity, what are we seeing from Rimashevsky that signals he’s ready for AHL? Admittedly, I’m just going off his stat line, but is 15 points in 55 games as a 20 year old in the KHL impressive? I’m not being flippant, I have no sense of what that means about Rimashevsky.

He started playing regularly in the KHL as a 19 year old, that's what's impressive.
KHL used to be clear cut second best league after the NHL. There's more fluctuation now between teams, so there's been debate on whether this is still true.
Either way, if he did make the jump over he would do well in the AHL.
However for development, it might be fine to just keep him in the KHL longer. Someone closer to the KHL would know better what the growth opportunities at his team look like.
Just leave Rimashevsky in Russia, and if he's dominating the KHL in three/four years, then you bring him over. Long-shot prospects playing in the KHL don't come to the States to play three years in the AHL, and understandably so.
