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 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
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.

Maxim Burkov - Stats, Contract, Salary & More
Eliteprospects.com hockey player profile of Maxim Burkov, 2006-06-02 Narva, EST Estonia. Most recently in the Czechia U20 with HC Dukla Jihlava U20. Complete player biography and stats.
www.eliteprospects.com
This kid finished 12th in league scoring as a 15 year old in Estonia’s mens league with 19 goals and 32 points in just 24 games played. He’s 15 btw, don’t know if I mentioned that.
He has also played u20 hockey internationally for Estonia which is impressive - even if Estonia isn’t a hockey powerhouse. But to play for Estonia internationally over Russia is quite surprising to be honest and very commendable to the young lad.
Here is a writeup I found about him by McKeens Hockey since I haven’t seen him play, i’ve only heard about him through the grapevine.
“For host Estonia, the most interesting prospect aspect of the tournament was the participation of 15-year-old Maxim Burkov. He’s still very much physically immature in all manners imaginable, but the chatter around the Baltics is that he looks like he’s going to be a very special player to keep an eye on as the 2024 draft swings around. Estonia has a truly small pro circuit, but Burkov is a regular there and is second on his team in scoring with 12 points in 10 games.”

Even if the quality of competition isn't very good in that Estonian league, having those numbers as a 15 year old is nuts.
Normally I would agree but he has been a noteworthy player ever since he scored at a similar rate as guys like Cole Eiserman, Macklin Celebrini and Jordan Gavin at the World Selects Invitational in 2018.
His scoring rate in Estonia is by far and away the best among all time u16 players - No one even comes close.
We’ll see how things go and how things progress for him. But things like these are noteworthy when trying to find hockey talent in non-traditional hockey markets.
Sorry, but just no. He is not even the best Estonian U16 player at the moment. Just look at the U16 player scoring at last U18 2A tournament, it puts things in perspective. Scoring at any rate in Estonian league is virtually meaningless and WSI tournaments are barely any better, because they vary in quality wildly.
Better look into those Lithuanians which are doing exciting things in Swiss hockey system, they actually seem threadworthy as serious prospects.
TIL; if a 15 year old doesn’t score at a PPG rate in a u18 tournament he isn’t a good prospect.
Get it together. Burkov has been a player on the radar of many since the WSI tournament. I’m happy to update this thread on the player as he progresses.
I'm not saying Burkov is terrible, but I find it weird that you are singling out him and not, for example, his Estonian teammate Timofeyev who is actually capable of going PPG at a low level U18 tournament. I think you are simply using outdated (WSI) and irrelevant (Estonia league) reference points.
I'm happy that someone else is interested in lesser hockey nations prospects and will gladly follow updates on this kid here.
Unfortunately, the elite prospect does not display all the statistics, Maxim Burkov played at the Finnish Championship in the AAA group, this is the strongest group and was in the top three of the strongest players in Finland! As for the World Cup, Maxim Burkov was a center forward, look how many chances he created and they were not realized? partners were in 2005, since Timofeev played with partners in 2004!
