Worst case scenario we got Dustin Stevenson's replacement IMO.

Interesting stats in his final year...

So he is a giant.

He has no offensive ability judging him solely on his stats (1g, 9a in 132 NCAA games).

His last name is actually Yevenko not Yevenka, the Flames website has it wrong.

He has attended rookie camps for the Devils & Bruins.

He takes the worst penalties and has no idea how to use his frame. Enjoy him

it's an ATO, he will be probably the #10 defenseman.

The ADK Flames have also signed Northeastern goaltender Clay Witt to an ATO.

Centre Cam Reid has also signed a PTO with ADK, he's been with the Reading Royals of the ECHL.

This is the only scouting report I've found. It's almost a year old.

Oleg Yevenko, Defenseman, University of Massachusetts

The 23 year old just completed his junior campaign for the Minutemen, making it more likely that he will sign with an NHL team this spring. Unlike his predecessors on this list, Yevenko is not close to being ready for the NHL. He would represent a long-term investment, as he has the size of a shutdown defenseman.

At 6’7” and 230 pounds, Yevenko’s size is his greatest asset. Offensively, he registered just five points in 96 NCAA games. That said, his defensive skills have improved every year since his freshman year with UMass. His skating is much improved, although still an area of potential improvement, while his defensive awareness and positioning has also come a long way. While his size allows him to play a very physical brand of hockey, he still needs to work on using his size and strength when engaged with forwards in front of his own net.
