F Nikita Artamonov - Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod, KHL (2024, 50th, CAR)

[ViD]

a very strange goal horn for Torpedo

A better version of Dadonov?

I was thinking more of a better version of Ovechkin

 

[Deas]

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

 

[DollardStLaurent]

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.

What a pick by Carolina.

What a pick by Carolina.

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

He isn't even top50 NHL prospect by ESPN...

 

[Flynn84]

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.
