159 lbs now if you believe to eliteprospects. But it could be a bit inflated I suppose.Damn, 150 lbs? Hopefully he hits the weight room this year
I'm guessing that they don't really care to have an accurate weight listed.
Highlights. Vasily scores at roughly 43 seconds in
I was at the game last night. Glotov was by far the best player on the ice, for whatever that's worth. He's small but didn't look quite as small as he's listed. He's crafty. I was standing right behind the net and a couple of his shots took me off guard. Quick release and great shot selection. He had great poise too. It was fun watching him on the power play. He totally dictated the pace whenever he was on the ice.
I'm sure most if not all teams knew about him, especially with those Youtube videos and him making one of the U20 camps. Plus he had already agreed to join CB before the draft, so if they knew of him I'm sure NHL teams did as well. But being small-ish, overaged and playing Russian junior hockey will scare away many teams even though he's obviously very talented. And who knows, there were still 21 picks left in the 7th round so teams might have been thinking of picking him. And also, if BUF was super high on him would they have waited until the 7th round? So they probably had some doubts as well.How many other teams in the NHL do you think knew about this kid? I know it's insanely premature but I can't help get excited about this kid.

Glotov is not in the lineup tonight.TBH, I would have been a little surprised had Glotov not stood out with the opening exhibition lineups being what they were. As an import formerly among the MHL scoring leaders, Glotov was the best skater listed in either lineup, as Halifax and Cape Breton didn't really dress anyone else of QMJHL note IMO. Maybe he sees stronger opposition on Friday at Saint John with that being a home opener for the Sea Dogs, maybe not.
I'm not mentioning that to rain on a solid outing, but I feel it should be mentioned for context. I did like to see that he took the bulk of the faceoffs (won 17 of 29 or 58%) in addition to the 1+1 and 3 SOG.
This kid is going to be a star
This kid isn't going to be remembered in 3 years.
