C/W Dmitriy Voronkov (2019, 114th, CBJ)

[Caser]

Probably a good idea to create a thread for CBJ drafted prospect Dmitriy Voronkov, who is making quite an impact at the WJC so far.

Some media from earlier this season:

Was just looking for a thread on him. Thanks

 

[Flynn84]

I thought he already had a thread.

Leads the WJC in +/- now... just saying

And actually he now leads Team Russia in scoring with 3G+3A.

He will never be more than bottom-6 player, but if he will reach his ceiling he will be very qualified player and useful player.

No reason he can't be a brady tkachuk and park his big ass in front of the net for dirty points.

Yep, and he is already good at it at 19

I hope he understands though he was nearly the sole reason Team Russia lost the gold medal.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

He reminds me a bit of Boone Jenner

Yes, dwelling on your mistakes is very productive as a high-performing professional.

Working on your mistakes and not feeling like a sliver medal is a win is professionalism.

Nicely avoided that hipcheck there:

 

[FlyguyOX]

By God that's some Jeff Skinner shit

 

[Caser]

Scored two goals today.

He's going to be a good one. Wayne Simmonds in his prime seems like a nice comparable.

That's overrating him. He is doing fine, but let's not even talk sure thing NHLer at this point.

 

[Caser]

Another goal:

 

[Atas2000]

Another goal:

Puts him right on par with Denisenko in terms of production(in 5 less games played). Denisenko was put pretty high on some top prospects outside the NHL list.

And it's not about Voronkov being so great, it's about Denisenko being overrated by quite a bit.

[Caser]

Added another assist and now has 8 points in last 8 KHL games.

 

[FlyguyOX]

What's his average ice time looking like?

It seems like he's playing a large role on one of the best teams in the KHL since returning from the WJC.
