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

[Topcheese31]

We never know, what I like about him is that he is always at the good place, he’s able to find a hole in the defence.

Kid has a quick release and knows where to go:

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

Artturi Lehkonen maybe? That’s who he reminded me last season watching Torpedo.

Funny that you mentioned Lekhy that exactly who he remind me of. Arty have a better IQ in my book than Lekhy. Maybe his shot is less powerful but more accurate than Lekhy thought

He’s like a mixe between Leky and Guentzel, that my two cent

Canes W if the kid comes over and is a 50+ pt player.

1. Silayev
2. Nikishin
3. Artamanov
4. Zavragin
5. Demidov

The production is insane but ive been misled by tolvanen before

Yeah, it would be better if he didn't produce much, then we'd surely know he is not Tolvanen.

 

[molotce]

Well of course, again, the production is great. But i feel its not necessarily always translating khl-nhl. the tools and how you produce will be more important. I have not watched him enough to know but i do hope he does well as i drafted him 26th overall in the last draft

Tolvanen is an NHLer though...

It can be said about any league and actually about any prospect, even about translating NHL-to-NHL - Yakupov was quite productive in the NHL initially, but then it didn't translate to the further success. So what I meant that this kind of logic is pretty much forbidding most of the excitement for any prospect.

The kid has a knack for finding open space on the ice and has a very quick release. I believe that will translate well in the NHL.

That's my opinion aswell. With his pace and IQ, he have a high floor
