I was thinking more of a better version of Ovechkin
What impresses me is he's tied for the KHL scoring lead while playing only 12:40 ATOI.
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.
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.

Other than Svech who was 2nd overall it only took the Canes taking a shot on like 20 Russian forwards for one to finally look like he may pan out lol
Really inflated shooting percentage - 32.3%, with 7.2% last season, obviously he should stop scoring anytime, but keeps doing it)
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

Absolutely no reason he was not a top 20 pick.
GMs are either too scared or have no idea how to evaluate smaller players. Brindley last year was the same thing.

The list was crap. They were listing players with the wrong position and not including players best attributes in the description of them.

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.

I personally think not but i have not seen as much artamonov as i have gallagher. I think arty has a bit more dynamic skating/feet and more IQ. I dont know if arty can grind in front of the net as well as brendan could before

Artamonov have a better IQ & hands, Gally have a better shot. Same kind of energy thought

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.
