C Ivan Ryabkin - Muskegon, USHL (2025 Draft)

[Kshahdoo]

4+7 after 5 games at Sirius Cup. Leads the tournament in scoring along with Vyacheslav Vasiliev.

 

[dyldude]

Named the best forward at the Sirius Cup

 

[Kshahdoo]

Yeah, he looked good, but he isn't Michkov or Demidov level.

Yeah, he looked good, but he isn't Michkov or Demidov level.

But he is a center. And it seems he might be the best Russian C after Kuznetsov.

He's more like C/RW.

Ryabkin stays at Dynamo. The club managed to persuade him not to leave for NA. But with one condition - Ivan after each season has the right to leave without hindrance.

 

[Kshahdoo]

2 assists in his second MHL preseason game, and his team lost the game 6-3.

I hope he stays until he’s NHL ready.

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?

Too early to say, he's still brand new to this environment and I haven't seen much of him outside of these few games and a couple Sirius Cup games.

 

[Kshahdoo]

How much worse is he than Demidov and Michkov at the same age?

He isn't close to Demidov let alone Michkov.

[dyldude]

Two assists in his MHL debut today. Neither were exactly highlight reel plays and it was against a weak team, but good start nonetheless.

 

[dyldude]

Assist, two goals, and the shootout winner vs. Amurskie Tigry today

 

[olgerd]

0+3 today
2+6 in 3 games

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.

4+8 after 7 games...

Yeah the most interesting thing is the next best player on his team has 6 points in the same 7 games.

Yea and the two guys with 6 points are an 03 and an 04. Impressive for an 07 to be so far ahead.

 

[DivochLubo]

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.
