Yeah, all are from the KHL, because the transition from the KHL to NHL usually goes the smoothest way (look at Michkov, Voronkov and Tsyplakov, who played in the "terrible KHL" and still made the big league).
You know you're posting this on a "PROSPECT" board, right? Why would anyone list anyone other than a PROSPECT on a PROSPECT board?I mean right now, not in the future. I doubt Schaefer or Misa are better than a PPG+ KHLer...

Totally. Which is why 6 months from now he'll be enjoying boiled cabbage in Omsk while they'll all be at NHL camps with a decent chance to make a real pro hockey team.
I have said it already, but it is worth repeating: russians do overrate their hockey players and hockey program. When at hf there is a question of the strength in the hockey world usually it goes smth like this:
1.Canada
2.USA
3.Sweden
4.Russia
5.Finland
6.Czechia
etc
For russians it is like this:
1 Canada/Russia
3 USA
4 Sweden/Finland
6 Czechia
etc
So it is natural, that if Europe has no prospects worth mentioning and all good NA guys go straight from "kids leagues" to NHL, all the best U25 players in the World not in the NHL are russians from KHL.
In reality there are probably 30+ players in AHL who are better than Buchelnikov, Shabanov or Aimurzin.
