1st pair D-man. Eric Brewer type of player and probaly will have the same success in NHL, Wade Redden if he develops very very well in near future but it's unlikely.habsfan15 said:Since I don't know much about Alexandrov I was wondering why he is now considered a top 20 pick?
What makes him so special? I know it's mainly due to the Russian Transfer agreement but what else makes him so special?
Thanks.

Lack of agreement = lack of attention and it's the main reason I think. Last time young russian players prefered to stay in Russia instead of trying some AHL. It's a good reason too.habsfan15 said:Thanks.
But why were teams so scared to take him then if he has that much potential?
I know the lack of a transfer agreement scared off many teams but if his upside is that high he shouldn't have fallen to a 2nd round pick in some mocks.
