Last week in the Toronto Maple Leafs Draft Profile, I looked at USMNT draft eligible prospect Colin White, who lit up the Canadian in the semi-finals at the U-18 Championship with three goals, I will look at a Russian prospect who has played in the QMJHL this year and had great success.
Like White, Evgeni Svechnikov would make a case to be a top-10 talent in any other draft, but with the depth of this draft, he is ranked to go anywhere from 16th overall to 23rd overall, right where the Maple Leafs have the Nashville Predators first-round draft pick.
