Russian Centre will good size and strength who can win contested space and heads for open space to be a target to get the puck. back. Has a powerful skating stride and prefers the straight ahead approach down wing and if he can get leverage, will cut inside to the middle after the beating teh defender wide. Has good vision, solid hands but is got going to hypnotize anyone with his stickhandling. As with Nate Danielson, his lack of quality line mates has clouded a clear picture of his upside.
