Anyone got a scouting report on him?

I thought Kostin was secretly wearing Toropchenko's sweater at the u18s. Toropchenko has some solid talent. Good pick.

Wasn't a stand out yesterday but he did play well. Really interested to see his season this year in the OHL.

8pts in 4 games, ripping up the OHL so far. Let's see if he can at least somewhat sustain it, I'm curious how much offensive potential he has in him.

Performing well against kids is not a problem

@Caser is there any chance of him being on the Russian WJC team? I think he's eligible, right?

No. Not even invited to the Canada Russia Series means he is not considered.

Highly unlikely this year, but I think next year his chances are good.

Ahhhhh, bummer. Was hoping to have to Russians two root for (assuming Kostin makes it barring anything crazy).

@Caser any updates on how Toropchenko has looked recently?

I'm not exactly sure if I'm the right person to ask about OHL guys, as I'm pretty limited in my opportunities to see them. Although judging by the reports he is doing fine despite not scoring a goal in something like two months now.

The Blues have drafted really well of late. Love this kids game.

Kid's a machine

Kid's a machine

IDK about being "a machine". He's a 19 year old .5 ppg player in the OHL. I don't think he's got a ton of upside...

but he is a big bodied guy who can skate. I think he tops out as a Nik Kulemin type of player.

Kulemin has scored 30 once. I doubt Toropchenko is in that tier.
