LW Ilya Fedotov - Sochi, KHL (2021, 43rd, ARI)

[ConnorMcMullet]

Skilled Russian winger with a great shot and an electric pair of hands. Makes a lot of highlight reel plays, and they often end up in the back of the net. Decent playmaking instincts, but can lack awareness at times. I like his skating and his motor's not bad. Not a great defensive player. Ranked 28th by Central Scouting EU and 69th on McKenzie's midseason rankings, so could be a guy that surprises and goes as early as in the 2nd/3rd round.

Round 1 to Columbus book it.

Somehow I'm not a huge fan of him so far, I like the skill and skating, but kind of currently that's all that I like.

All skill, no sense imo

Extended with Torpedo until the end of 2023/24 and has been loaned to Neftekhimik until the end of this season.

My interpretation of this news is that he's graduating from juniors to the KHL with this loan agreement. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Hopefully he gets decent time on ice.

More like that he gets a chance to graduate there, as this season he clearly failed to impress the coaches at Torpedo (even though Larionov is willing to give opportunities to the young guys).

12 points in 23 games for a 19 year old in the KHL seems pretty good. Would have liked to see him at the world juniors. Anyone have opinions on him? @Caser @Kshahdoo @Spitfirefan at this point in his development?

Yeah, he looks much better on loan at Neftekhimik, but eventually he will have to return to Torpedo next season, so not easy to tell at this point.

 

[Kshahdoo]

His brother Maxim has even more points, and he's a defenseman.

Traded to SKA St.Petersburg.

What would you say is the odds of him ever coming to Arizona?

He is now in Arizona, just at the dev camp.

However if we are talking about him potentially signing there I'd wait to see first if the rumors about him extending for 4 years are true. If yes, then likely he has decided to go with the "coming over when ready" strategy and as I'm quite skeptical of him as a player I wouldn't bet my money on him becoming NHL level player (totally won't mind to be wrong here though).

Extended with SKA until the end of 2026/27.
