Any thoughts on this player? NHL future, skills he may need to work on?

VHL is the Russian AHL, right? The second tier pro-league that's used for development?
What is an equivalent level of competition? DEL, ECHL? How impressive is it that an 18-year-old is one of the more productive scorers on a non-playoff VHL team?

Probably DEL

The size and skating combo is impressive enough, but it sort of feels like he need to put all of the skills together in a proper toolbox and considering all that his VHL performance is very surprising in a positive way.
