RW Pavel Dorofeyev (2019, 79th, VGK)

[Kshahdoo]

What’s his projection for next year? I took him 49th in a sim draft today because I liked his offensive numbers, and figured he has plenty of room to improve as he fills out a bit more. Is he going to play KHL? VHL? What about ice time and opportunity?

Well, considering every KHL team must dress one U19 player, I think, it's safe to say, he'll play in the KHL. At least, at the start of the tournament, and then everything depends on him.

Thanks, I don't watch any KHL. Although the time zones fit better with my location now, so maybe I'll try to watch a few games this year. If you've watched him a bit do you think he's ready for that league? Or do you think he's a few years away as of right now.

Well, it's hard to say. Kids at this age sometimes make a crazy progress, so I won't be surprized at all, if he becomes a regular and even better, than just a regular. But I think, to earn regular TOI should be his main priority right now.

He's pretty old for his draft year and he played a few games last year, I think he could end up playing 13-14 minutes in the KHL.

He was very good today. Great chemistry with Morozov and Denisenko although that doesn’t seem hard to achieve haha. The three of them were dominant.

 

[landy92mack29]

it's 3 games in late August but he dominated play consistently all 3 games and outplayed Podkolzin easily

 

[bsu]

he was a steal... Vegas had an excellent draft

That's simply incorrect but he can say what he wants to blindly defend him. Podkolzin struggled 5v5 while Dorofeyev created high danger chances consistently and actually got points. Denisenko got the best forward but it was Dorofeyev who drove that line. Podkolzin did do a good job on the pk at least and should be a good role player.

The fact he fell to the 3rd round is insane, wonder why teams were so down on him.

I’m really not sure how you could watch that whole tourney and believe Dorofeyev drove that line. As much as I’d love for that to be the case, Morozov had a stronger overall tournament and Denisenko was just on another level. Podkolzin was one of the best players for Russia as well. You must be a big Dorofeyev fan to hype up his performance that much. He was effective but definitely not the line driver.

 

[mrsgoldenknight]

LOVE his puck skills and offensive instincts in general. Good playmaker and can finish too.

Don’t like his skating or decision making at times, but both will surely be improved in time.

Agree with this. Top 5 players for Russia in order:
1. Denisenko
2. Romanov
3. Podkolzin
4. Morozov
5. Dorofeyev

Lack of strength and power is an issue, this kid is all finess, he is fun to watch but you have to wonder how his game translate to N.A. down the road...

Nice shot.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Scored 2 points in 4-3 win over Spartak, the 1st victory for his team since I don't remember when.

 

[Pat Jablonski]

I notice that he played more in that game... Coincidence ?

It's still not a lot, but the team doesn't look great, Mozyakin has become too old, so they probably need a new blood, and Dorofeyev could be it.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Wow, what a goal he's just scored to Barys! 2+2 now in 10 games (10th game isn't over yet).

It's his 8th game, though. Played 2 games in the MHL.

 

[TopC0rner]

Wow, what a goal he's just scored to Barys! 2+2 now in 10 games (10th game isn't over yet).

Good KHL numbers so far (2+2 in 8 games) considering he plays about 10 mins per game. Nice finesse and power move for that goal. Vegas looks good so far for snatching him up in the third round.

 

[Favster]

This guy is going to be the steal of the draft.
