A powerful skater and a high-end handler, Chernyshov excels at anticipating openings and exploiting them. He beats defenders consistently by properly setting up his dekes, building up speed below the puck and then attacking with a speed advantage and working give-and-goes. While he’s often direct, he also has a rather advanced delay game that he can pull out when the situation calls for it.

The Hockey Writers

As I mentioned with Demidov, there’s something to be said for the level of competition a draft-eligible player regularly plays against. In Russia, teenagers rarely play big minutes in the KHL, so to see a young player earning regular minutes is worth noting, even if the points aren’t there. That brings me to Igor Chernyshov, a pure power forward who blends quickness, strength, offensive prowess, and defensive awareness into a very efficient package. He was called up from the MHL in December and remained in the KHL for the rest of the season, as well as their 10 playoff games. He wasn’t used a lot, often playing some of the lowest minutes on the team, but he was still playing, proving to any onlookers that he was trusted for his maturity and skill.

Tier: Bubble top and middle of the lineup player

Skating: NHL average

Hockey sense: NHL average
Compete: Above NHL average
Shot: Above NHL average

Player comparable: Ilya Mikheyev

Analysis: Chernyshov was very good at the junior level in Russia and earned ice time up in the KHL with a regular shift for a top team in Dynamo Moscow. He’s a big, powerful winger who skates well and has a lot of offensive creativity. He beats defenders routinely with his one-on-one plays, sees the ice well and can create at the net. He’s not going to run players over with his physical play, but he uses his body to create offense. He has the ability to control play at even strength due to his variety of tools and looks the part of a potential strong top-six winger in the NHL.

Chernyshov is a fascinating prospect as he has a power-forward’s mentality with a good motor and nice touch with the puck. He’s 6-foot-2 and closing in on 200 pounds, making him hard to knock off the puck. He has good-enough pace, never quits on pucks and engages physically. Chernyshov has a strong shot with an ability to beat goalies from distance and he can get it off in a variety of ways. Chernyshov has good hands and some creativity to him, but I would not call his hands truly dynamic. He has a chance to be a good scoring winger in a team’s top six, but I feel more comfortable projecting him as a secondary scorer with a chance to be on a team’s power play.

Chernyshov is a strong skater with high-end vision in the offensive zone. He reads where to be off the puck and finds quiet ice in the process. His combination of size and skill project him as a top two line scoring winger who leans shooter/finisher more than distributor.

Love this pick! He, Elick, Freij, and Badinka were all guys I was excited about, but Chernychov would have been meh at 14. At 33, absolutely fired up. He, Edstrom, Bystedt and Musty add an injection of size to the top 9 around Celebrini, Eklund, and Smith. If two of the big fellas hit along with Zetterburg we have a pretty well rounded top 6 forward group.
