While i hope he can be something at the NHL level i can't get too excited about him. His WJC was poor and i question how well his game will translate to the NHL.

I live in Victoriaville and have had the chance to watch him a bit lately.
He's definitely on fire. I'm honestly uncertained about his NHL future. He's small and isn't the fastest skater. He's good in junior but would be just ok in the NHL. He's quick and has very good agility but his top speed isn't fast. He has a sweet pair of hands but I found his strongest point is his hockey sense. He has incredible vision. He also has an amazing chemistry with Maxime Comtois who has a much better NHL future in my opinion. Someone said Abramov is a floater but I disagree. Maybe he was at the WJC but he backchecks with the Tigres.
His NHL future, like I said, is uncertained. He could develop chemistry with another Columbus player and start from there. His vision could help him in that regard. I see him more as a tweener who could play on the second line but would most likely be in the AHL. His future is probably in the KHL to be honest. Which saddens me because of what he's done with the Tigres.
Watch out for Comtois. He's a steal by the Ducks.

Speed is overrated. It's good to have of course, but about 75% offense in the NHL comes from the puck possession in the offensive zone. The problem is Abramov isn't great in many other hockey aspects as well. Kaprizov isn't the fastest skater, but I'm sure he'll be a star in the NHL, because he can shoot, play along the boards, control the puck and do a lot of other things Abramov can't.

We shal see. But I personally am not very optimistic about his NHL perspectives. Of course, it's still too early to call him bust.

Took a small Yanni Gourde until he was 26 to make it. Martin St Louis was 25. Cam Atkinson was 24.
And Dadonov is 28, I know, I know. So probably after becoming a KHL star...
Hes got the energy an work ethic, its just not always used in the best way. I think being around Panarin will be good for him, just learning how to pace himself and his play. He needs some direction, there is no lack of skill thats for sure

The exact reason why the NHL/CHL need to allow for "exceptions" that allows players that meet certain criteria to play in the AHL and not be forced back to Jr's

Its pretty obvious that Abramov is too good for the QMJHL.
That has been obvious for 3 years.

Too good for junior hockey...kinda under statement from moi.
Abramov scored 4g+1a...
Vitali is on a 12 game point streak -> 18g+19a=37pts.....can-not-compute-checksum-error-rebooting.....
7 games in a row where he has scored at least 3 points; 3,4,3,3,3,4,5
