Prospect Pool

Vladislav Kamenev, the 19-year-old who was selected by Nashville 42nd overall in the 2014 draft looks like he will have the opportunity to battle for a roster spot during this year’s training camp. Kamenev marked 37 points in 57 games in his first season with the Milwaukee Admirals last year and was voted to the AHL All-Star game.

The Russian center has size at 6’2, 205 lbs., and plays a physical game on the boards and in the crease with good hands and high skill. Scouts have likened him to Dallas’s Valeri Nichushkin and Nashville’s own Mike Fisher.
