“Best players
Dmitry Voronkov
68 games, 29 (13+16) points
Kazan’s main hero this season was Dmitry Voronkov. The 20-years-old forward tied Mikhail Glukhov for the second-most games played in the season and has shown to be a complete player who can be helpful in any situation. In the playoffs, Voronkov was the MVP for Ak Bars, almost getting the team to the finals after a double in game five and 3 (1+2) points in game seven, which played with a broken jaw after blocking a shot in game six. He was the team’s top scorer in the elimination games with 10 (6+4) points and was awarded Best forward honors at the Conference finals stage. At only 20!”
@Caser how is this guy progressing? Seems pretty good!
Also named captain of Ak Bars
If he is made captain, does that impact his thoughts on the NHL? CBJ clearly hoping to sign him after his current deal. Certainly looks like he could play in nhl now
He's under contract in the KHL for two more seasons.This kid has me both excited and nervous. Hope they get him over here after next season and he doesn't decide to stay.

I'm not sure what the disconnect is. After next season, he is still under contract for another season.

Can we get confirmation from a Russian speaker on this - has Kazan named Voronkov captain?
I saw a tweet from Ak Bars saying something like that but I just want to be sure.
And I believe he was made captain for the year but tweets can be difficult in translating
It was discussed in this thread just a few posts above. How are you guys falling for this? It's pre-season. Teams are not playing their top rosters. He was named captain for one pre-season game in absence of the usual suspects.
He is at this age far from regular basis captaincy on AkBars.
