What's his contract status? Any possibility he joins Carolina this spring?

No, I believe he is signed with Torpedo through '26.

Nikishin is a different story with his contract terming in '25. But, the later extension of KHL playoffs makes his presence in Raleigh doubtful.

I was thinking more of a better version of Ovechkin

A better version of Dadonov?
Complety different type of player, he just doesn't stop. He's the most noticable player on the ice when he play. He's everywhere. I think he have more IQ than people think. Average shot but above average IQ.

His floor is probably a 3rd line winger but I can see a top 6 ceilling.
 
Really inflated shooting percentage - 32.3%, with 7.2% last season, obviously he should stop scoring anytime, but keeps doing it)

He isn't even top50 NHL prospect by ESPN...
Amazing stats, but is he more talented than Brad Lambert, who is #50 on that list? I'm not sure. Hopefully, ESPN authors not just statwatching...

Yeah, he's crazy lucky this season, of course he's nowhere close to Demidov talent wise. Still being PPG in the KHL at 18 is good enough to be in top50 best NHL prospects. So many CHLers are ahead of him on that list.

ESPN authors may not just be statwatching but I'm fairly confident in saying they are not watching KHL prospects lol
 
Was that Pronman's list
Rachel Doerrie.

She’s been working for ESPN for like six months maybe. Possibly a year. Her lists are very middle of the road. She’s not too bad. Doesn’t say much controversial, but this was some of her sloppiest work I thought, even if there were some parts that made sense.
 
just from a style standpoint I'd say Guentzel but I'd be shocked if his scoring carries over to the show at that same level.

And I won't be shocked for sure, but still think he won't be as good as Guentzel. I just hope for a 60 point top6 winger, and I'm pretty sure Carolina will be satisfied with this. Let alone if he turns out to be better than this.
