EDMONTON, AB - NHL Central Scouting issued its latest edition of the 'Players to Watch' list for the 2016 NHL Draft on November 24, 2015 with Oil Kings defenceman Anatolii Elizarov making the grade alongside 49 other WHL players.

NHL Central Scouting identifies players with a rating system that includes four ratings. The 'A' rating indicates a first round candidate, a 'B' rating indicates a second or third round candidate, and a 'C' rating indicates a fourth, fifth, or sixth round candidate. An 'LV' rating indicates Limited Viewing of injured players who have not had sufficient viewings to be categorized.

Elizarov, 17, (also spelled Anatoly or Anatolii Yelizarov) was selected in the 2015 CHL Import Draft on June 30, 2015. The 6-1, 194-pound defenceman was born in Shemonaika, Kazakhstan and played 21 games last season for Dynamo St. Petersburg in the Russian MHL junior league. The D-man put up three points and a plus-3 rating over that span. In 14 games at the Russian under-17 level, Elizarov had five points and 28 penalty minutes.

Elizarov will be eligible for the 2016 NHL Entry Draft and was a first round pick (14th overall) of Salavat Yulaev Ufa in the 2015 KHL Draft.
