Very dynamic smaller forward. Currently playing center and he looks pretty good defensively against kids his age, but he'll need to grow and put on significant weight to stay at center. These types of Russian players almost never go early in the draft, so I don't want to speculate on a likely draft range, but he has the talent to be a high pick.

Nice moves, but more impressive is the coach trusted him to be on the ice, shorthanded, in the closing minutes. Not bad for an underager.

This guy is really good, in my opinion. Other than size, I don't know what the knock on him is.

The traditional knocks on smaller players with good offensive ability that they are only offensively oriented and don't skate well enough to be effective in the NHL at their size don't apply to him. He has good speed and plays a two way game.
 
SKA team has acquired his rights from Vityaz and sounds like he decided to not to report to Erie. At least SKA already announced that he will play for them next season.

Yeah, SKA definitely has more money, than CHL teams. With the hard cap coming they will need as many players as possible developed in the team's system.
