C Ivan Ryabkin - Muskegon Lumberjacks, USHL (2025 Draft)

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

The talent is there. But Ryabkin's got some splainin' to do if he's to be a 1st rounder.

Regardless of what he thought of Dynamo, there's no justification for playing like a petulant lazy oaf for half the season, especially knowing NHL scouts are watching him.
You'd think his competitive nature would take over the minute he stepped on the ice - all times.
Weird situation indeed.

It's especially a glaring contrast if you compare him to Demidov and his MHL play last season. Demidov wasn't happy at all to play in a junior league, and he still played and destroyed it. And look at where he's now.

Interesting how far he's fallen considering where he was considered to be at the start of the year. Could join Raty, Kiviharju, and many others to fall off past the first round. Honestly I think he'll be this years big dropper and could end up being taken in the 2nd maybe even third if questions about his character and compete continue to rise.

Future Vision: Ivan Ryabkin next in a long-line of ultra-talented Russians at the NHL Draft

Unless scouts know something about his attitude or work ethic, I would be shocked if he falls out of the 1st round. He's nasty to play against and can rip it for sure but he has some heavy feet and looks a bit lazy.
 
He went from overrated to underrated in this years draft.

Not thrilled with his mindset, but the skill is still there in droves

Agree with this and given his nationality and possibility of playing professionally in Russia chances are that he might "slip" a bit in the 25 draft from where his skillset and celling might have him otherwise.

My guess is that a team takes him, if they have multiple high draft picks or have enough of a Russian atmosphere on their current team but he might slip outside of the first round.
 
he showed already he isn't afraid to play hardball with the team he plays for if things don't go his way. and he isn't that good to overlook it. doubt he will be drafted in the first round.

If Chicago gets a third first-round pick, like last year, I want the Blackhawks to select him.
 
This is the player I was most curious about in this draft. Can anyone update how he's looked since he came over? Like I can read a stat sheet, but how has his play looked? There were concerns earlier about his compete level, does anyone else see that?
