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

[MikeyS]

Highest PPG ever for a draft eligible forward maybe we should be taking the numbers for jim and Silyaev with a grain of salt what are the odds that the two highest scoring draft Eligible players in KHL history were relatively unkown before their draft seasons, and both played on the Same team in their draft year.

are they just feeding these players power play time and offensive zone starts? Or are they genuinely earning their points with impressive play making/decision making?

 

[MichaelFarrell]

One of the best players on the ice today. He had a great game despite not getting any points. I like his motor, decision making with the puck, and his compete.

I think he could be a first rounder. He looks legit.

i didn't get to see too much of the game today but I've been a fan as his speed/skating/motor all are impressive. I like him better then Silayev so far.

[kp61c]

points aside, looks more impactful on ice than michkov who is one year older than him, crazy

 

[Caser]

2G+2A total today.



Upd.: 4 points in a single game is a new KHL record for U18 players.

 

[LeProspector]

More legit than Silayev

Previous U18 record was held by Michkov - he scored 3 points in 2021/22 season, but back then Michkov was still 16, so pretty much a year younger than Artamonov.

 

[LeProspector]

Fair, I just mentioned earlier in the thread that both may be a product of their teams system, and may not be the most talented players.

Just changing my stance in that Artamonov looks legit, but I’m still skeptical on Silayev.

 

[ViD]

Ok, this guy officially requires more attention

Ok, this guy officially requires more attention

He does.

We’ll see how he develops even more during the year. Gonna be interesting.

 

[SlafySZN]

Any idea why he’s not playing today?

Silaev too, probably Larionov gave them a rest.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

You don’t just fluke into this type of production by being force fed ice time. This guy is going to garner attention as a top 10 pick.

 

[Caser]

Larionov mentioned that Artamonov injured his shoulder today and might be out for some time.

Made the pass to Atanasov for the goal

1 point today in his first game back.

I know he isn't overly creative, but this kid might be the most underrated prospect at the moment. A KHL top 6 forward with a high competitive drive. I have a hard time believing this kid doesn't go top 15 if not top 10.

I like the speed and shot, hoping the Habs are interested in him.

 

[Kevin Musto]

His playmaking really stands out

 

[RedHawkDown]

Any comparables for this kid? His stats look incredible…
