6. C Alexander Khovanov (Moncton Wildcats, QMJHL)
Cerebral playing style playmaker, not afraid to dictate the tempo and take the initiative into his own hands when it matters. Definitely can handle that puck and, while being a pass-first player, isn't shy to put it into the net too. Not a greatly athletically gifted player, as his skating at a rather modest size is not where you would like it to be.
Didn't have a great season, but it's already good that he was able to properly play this year at all after his illness. With that being said, it's a certain risk, as it is hard to estimate where his development is at this current point. Especially if talking about physical and defensive aspects of his game - those didn't look great, but how much of that is due to actual flows in his game and how much the illness and ruined offseason is affecting that? So yes, the question here is how much are you willing to bet on him, I personally probably would go for a late second round pick.
