KHL isn't as strong as it used to be - he also got more opportunity than most do at that age in that league. Nothing really stands out about him, so I think he's a later first or early-mid second in the draft.

Nothing stands out?

He processes the game at an incredible speed, and his playmaking is as good as anyone in the draft.

Just wondering for those who have followed Russia hockey closely.

Does the "Larionov factor" help or hinder prospects in the eyes of scouts?

Players seem to put up offensive numbers but is the style of play "structured" (for lack of a better word) enough to prepare players for the NHL?
 
I like that he plays an up tempo game, good speed/skating to go with the offensive skills.

This is a very good question.
I've been wondering the same thing myself, as the Avs have Nikolai Kovalenko, whos numbers jumped a lot when he started playing for Torpedo.
Anybody want to chime in? @Caser @Kshahdoo @Garl @Zine

In my viewings I didn't think his playmaking stood out all that much, definitely not to be as good as anyone in the draft.. and there's been a lot of guys I've thought processed the game very fast at the level they are at to not have it scale at the NHL level where most are top level processes of the game.

He's 27th on my list so more of a late 1st early 2nd guy for me based on the production in a men's league, the tempo and style of his game. I think that's a fair and reasonable area for him, he's a middle 6 player as currently projected with a bust risk and the slight possibility he develops into a top 6.

I actually don’t see a whole lot of differences between Artamanov and Helenius, despite the large difference is projected draft range. Helenius may or may not be a center in the NHL, but just comparing their abilities they are similar. Undersized, fine skaters, skilled and smart, with impressive pro production already.

Apparently he wasn't able to solve the paperwork in time to be there in Vegas.

Seems like a weird comparison. I think he projects fairly well to the NHL but looks more like Arturri Lehkonen than anything else.

I don't see how he doesn't play anything like him. Leks is a hard working defensive forward who had a decent shot. Artamonov's game is based on speed, vision, playmaking, and offense.
