Nikita Filatov Player Profile

Ranked by most as the 2nd best forward prospect heading into the draft, ranked as the top European prospect. He is not under contract by any Russian team for next year, and plans to be playing North America, either in the OHL or in the NHL. Already speaks fluent English, has an excellent attitude and work ethic. Very good skater. A goal-scorer, potting 32 goals (66 points) in 34 games for the Moscow CSKA-2 (Rus. III) this year.
