SCOUTING REPORT

Third year eligible left shooting Russian centre is big but behind the curve but does have a quick release, is a good penalty killer and saw 4th line duty in the World Junior Tournament, where he scored a couple goals on quickly-releases heavy wrist shots. Not a sound puck handler for a centre but does use his body to control the middle of the ice.
