Russian Centre-winger who has played well all season in both the MHL and the high VHL in different roles and situations including there penalty kill and the power play a pretty good indicator of his upside as a 17 year old. Displays above average skating, is good in the face-off, and has a willingness to play in the battle areas and along the wall. Has a decent frame and has one of the stronger refined defense game of the prospects in the class. Can really let is wrist shot go, is a good puck generator and is the guy with the puck on many a zone entry. Can play anywhere up front or anywhere in the line-up.
