Hard to say, I've never seen him play. But one russian amateur scout said that AK usually excels at both ends of the ice.
must be canadian junior right, could not be the player...do you know how many canadian players highly hyped never turned out in the CHL...A LOT.....Austen Matthews went to Swiss and tore it up over there, if a player is that good he will turn out to be good, the player could be to blame (possibly too small, parimiter player who looks good in lower leagues, only one way player, lazy, does not put the time in to train even though he is ultra talented, attitude) tons of excuses why he some do not turn out....and if they can not play in the CHL how will they ever make the NHL it is the North American game they have to get use too. Im not saying Russia is bad developing im saying sometimes the player is to blame for not turning out or some look good before contact becomes a major part of the game.
Recently played for Russia U16 in President Cup tournament(held in Belarus) against Slovakia U16(?), Belarus U17, Latvia U17. Had 6 assists in 3 games.
