LW Nikita Scherbak (Saskatoon, WHL) - Scherbak is a late riser on the draft boards. After a poor season in the MHL at 17 years old, he came over to Saskatoon where he made noise in his rookie year in WHL. He has a good size and really rounded his game out in Saskatoon this year. A strong, powerful stride combined with a good vision and a hard shot means he is always a threat off the rush. He works the corners really well and can use his size effectively. Scherbak still has work to do on rounding out his game defensively and finding consistent performances, but his rapid progression throughout the year bodes really well for that development.
Birthdate: December 30, 1995. Height: 6'2''. Weight: 174lbs.
