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

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.

Would Brendan Gallagher be a good comparable?
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
