LW Dmitry Buchelnikov - Vityaz, KHL (2022, 52nd, DET)

[MNRube]

Very intriguing prospect. I think he will fit in nicely with some of the two-way guys Detroit has in the system

So a follower pointed out his name plate translates to “elektronic” this is a nickname Roman Borisovich Rotenberg gave Buch based on a tv series from the 80’s called The Adventures of the Elektronic. Hence why he’s got the old school look. Pretty fun bit.

It wasn't Rotenberg who gave him the nick, but fans.

There was an episode in the series where they played hockey. And Electronic was a cyborg who looked exactly as a kid named Syroezhkin so they dressed him to play instead. He obviously had superior skating and stamina to young kids, the problem was he still was a robot so he shot the puck by the most optimal trajectory i.e. the shortest one, and the opponents goalie saved all his shots with ease.

Of course Buchelnikov isn't a robot and can shoot very well, but he's fast and relentless and even looks kinda like that series' main character that's why Electronic.

thanx for the update . a great mix of talent and killer instinct that it takes to be an nhl goal scorer

With 34 assists he sets a new assist record for Vityaz in regular seasons.

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

Up to 13+34=47 in 56 games

Hope he is over in NA next year... they have the players/prospects to be patient, should be interesting to see when he crosses the pond.

pure goal scorers instincts , he see's the little openings then threads the needle . on top of that he can dance like crazy to find his own space . im dreaming of a line with BUCHELNIKOV & LOMBARDI = dmans worst nightmare

Wow young Buchelnikov is doing quite well...Wonder if he'll be sent to a powerhouse in KHL for next season since he has another season left on his contract...I hope he doesn't entertain ideas of coming over to play in North America and then get sent to the Minors that would be a step backwards...hopefully he follows the Kaprizov model and waits an extra year maybe 2 after his current contract expires...his success percentage climbs higher with it...Good Luck to young Dmitri Buchelnikov in his quest to be the best he can be

nice

not next season and hopefully not for 2 years as Red Wings have to figure out whether they go with the youngsters or grey-beards

Just saw that young Dmitri is on loan from SKA...hopefully he ends up there next year to taste more team success and play in front of 20000-22000 fans per night!!!

He is not on loan from SKA, that was last year when he was loaned to Vladivostok.

OK thanks for up-dating me on that...any idea whether he will sign another contract with Vityaz Moscow Region

He's under contract with Vityaz until the end of the 25/26 season at the moment. Whether he tries to come to Detroit or stays in the KHL after that I could not tell you.

I hope he waits to see what happens in Detroit cause I would like to see him have success in Detroit and not be sent to AHL Grand Rapids a demotion even from KHL
