Didn't see a thread for him, just committed to Michigan State.

Tied for third among scoring for all 16-year-olds in the USHL (in what is shaping up to be a really intriguing class in the league - Hextall, Murnieks, Morozov, Lawrence, Klepov, Vlasov, Berzkalns, Shilov, Hage, Croskery, Kwajah).

June 2008 born so on the younger side, 5'-11" and still somewhat skinny - appears to mostly play right wing for the Musketeers in their top 6 already. Clear playmaking skills.

Interesting path as he was born in Florida, played youth in Russia until coming back to North America last year and was involved in USNTDP try-outs, so not quite sure where his potential international future may lie.

Wonder if he moved back to Russia as a kid and grew up there.
