Speedy undersized Russian forward who has seen work at all three forward positions, but is more suited as a winger. Has terrific top-end speed and good change of direction along high end puck-skills. Excellent on zone entries the attack, and is a good offensive generator and forechecker. While in his own end and his team begins transition with mad bursts out on the attack to push back the opposition defenders on entries. Has a quick release and solid shot. Is undersized and lacks strength to compete with most players bigger than he is. A long term developmental selection who a team picks and let’s develop him in Russia until he develop into a possible pro player. —Bill Placzek—
