LW Ilya Altybarmakyan - HK Chelny, VHL (2019 undrafted)

[Caser]

Andrei Altybarmakyan's little brother Ilya had a pretty bright MHL debut so far getting 3G+1A in his first 3 games. Hard to tell how much talent is there just by those 3 games, but still thought that this kind of name deserves a thread.

Measurements:
Height: 184cm/6'0"
Weight: 84kg/185lbs

As a Hawks fan, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on him.

 

[Tryamkin]

He looked quite good in the few games I saw, not in top round contention, but could be a nice steal.

Reads as decent enough. Have to see how the rest of his season goes before we can determine when he goes in the 2019 draft.

Any chance he gets drafted this year? Always puzzled me as to why he wasnt drafted

 

[Caser]

His contract actually got terminated for disciplinary reasons (I guess he was partying too hard at the wrong night or something). If his brother signs with Chicago this offseason, I think he might end up somewhere in the USHL.

Dang I was wondering why he wasnt drafted last season when a lot of lists had him in the 3rd/4th. Assume it was probably character issues then?

Imo, not only, he got good skill and can shoot that puck, but aside from that, I don't know if he got what it takes.

Odds he comes to the USHL are incredibly low correct?

Nope, pretty high I'd say: in Russia his rights are still belonging to the SKA system, it's unlikely that he will return there at least for now. Also his brother is moving to US, so that's an additional factor in favour of it.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Shameless puck hog. Zhuk, Tsyplakov, Gordin did all the hard work. He gets the puck and just spotlights. So much skill but he’s a hot dog.

 

[Caser]

Banned for 4 years by the IIHF after his test showed signs of cocaine. IIHF bans usually don't apply to NA leagues, so he still should be able to play there.

Ooof

Kuznetsov mk II... of course, I don't mean skill.

 

[Caser]

Got his ban lifted and signed with Torpedo for the coming season.

 

[Caser]

Just noticed that he is actually continuing his hockey career, plays for Valenciennes in the French 3rd tier.

Signed with VHL's Chelny for the next season.
