He could be shooting 0 % and still be having a successful year. .5 in the KHL at 21ish is nothing to sneeze at.

For sure.
Kid hasn't even hit 21 yet and he is standing out in the 2nd best league in the world. Could have half the points and still be a story.

Delightful to read. I thought the reason he fell is because he had no interest in coming to North America?

This question seemed urgent to me so: yes and yes.
He fell because even in Russia he was virtually unknown before this season. Never a part of national teams, played for a humble junior program, very late bloomer (5 points in the MHL as 18 y.o.). Many teams probably didn't even bother to check out some overager they have never heard of before doing ok in the VHL.
He was unheralded, but it's not like he had never produced big numbers before he was drafted...

Before last season, his career trajectory seemed similar to someone who might have a decent career in the Belarussian league. In terms of the development curve, he is 2 years behind compared to most high-end prospects.
Regarding "big numbers", I think you know how the big numbers work in junior. Being slightly above PPG at the age of 19 is nothing to write home about. Last year he started to break out a bit for those who follow the VHL but from a stat-watching perspective, it was still nothing too impressive.
You can compare his numbers to Pavel Dorofeyev or Dmitri Voronkov who are both born just 20 days apart from Rashevsky.

As I recall, Dorofeyev was ranked in the late 1st or 2nd round by many (#12 among International skaters by Central Scouting) in the 2019 draft, and Vegas took him in the 3rd round. Interesting that Rashevsky wasn't drafted that year, or the next.

He hadn’t committed to coming overseas at that point. Rumor is his camp agreed to come over after this contract is up when Chevy drafted him

Kid is just unreal.
Now if only Chibrikov can get into some action and develop by more than just practicing that would be GREAT!!!

3) Yeah, of course. Still in Kazan with his hometown team.
6) Kulda is playing in Germany for his second season on two different rather bad teams and I don't think he's much of a difference maker on top of that.

Stoopid hockey board ignoring important questions... the answer to #5 is yes, categorically yes.

Worth noting that he only signed a one year extension. Kaprizov at this point signed for 3.
Yup. I think a couple of years in the KHL won't hurt, and he'll be more ready when he's stronger and more experienced. He'll still be just 23 when he might be available to start his N America career, which seems about right for a late developing prospect like Rashevsky.
Yeah, I can see Rashevsky forgoing the AHL entirely and just head directly to the NHL after a few years in the KHL.

Yeah, hard to imagine him foregoing a larger and tax free salary in a culture that he is comfy in for a puny taxable salary in a culture that he is unfamiliar with. Not many of us would go for door #2.
