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 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.

Caught a couple of his preseason games so far as he gets used to playing with Dynamo. The hands are very impressive, especially in high pressure situations. Quite intelligent and was creating a ton with his playmaking (despite not really picking up too many points) and his off-puck movement to get into shooting areas is great. Could do without forcing plays so often, but I don't really care about that until it becomes an actual issue, he typically has high value plays in mind. Standout player on his team so far for me, especially given his age.

How much worse is he than Demidov and Michkov at the same age?
 
Two assists in his MHL debut today. Neither were exactly highlight reel plays and it was against a weak team, but good start nonetheless.

Is this guy a natural center? What are his strengths and weakness? How does he rank with Michkov and Demidov?

Would love some high level stuff from people who watch him. Thanks!

Probably closer to Podkolzin/Yurov/Miroshnichenko level than Michkov or Demidov who are two of the better Russian prospects we have ever seen.
 
I have seen him in a few games, not full games, but he was still best player on the team. Very high intelligence, anticipation, vision.
