Scouting Report
The Russian forward taken No. 19 in the 2015 NHL Draft has good size and soft hands, but he has yet to put everything together at the NHL level after an excellent junior career. Injuries have been a factor, as has inconsistency and a lack of optimum skating ability. Most of the tools to be a solid scorer at the NHL level are there, but he still has to learn how to use them.
Long Range Potential: Talented but inconsistent winger.
