Some additional tidbits for you.

I had Katchouk ranked as the 12th best OHL'er.

Also, he finished in the top 10 of my media/scout poll.

The very Canadian forward with the very Russian name, Boris Katchouk is an intriguing prospect who some expect to go late in the first round, while others wouldn’t be surprised if he fell into the third.

Before Boris came along his mother, Elena Toumanova, represented the Soviet Union in speed skating at the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary. She placed 15th in the 1,500 metre, ninth in the 3,000 and 15th in the 5,000.

Both of his parents are Russian, although his father passed away when Katchouk was just one.

He says his parents moved to Canada for work in 1992 and arrived in Montreal, where one of his brothers was born. After that, they moved to Vancouver, where he was born, and then they finally settled in Waterloo, Ontario.

I think this is our best pick. Kid looks and plays like playoff Killorn.

I'm instantly becoming a fan !

 

[These Are The Days]

I had never heard of this kid but the highlight film has me convinced. He definitely has the hands and the shot accuracy for 20 goals at the NHL level. He and Raddysh will be very welcome additions after the cap crunch has taken ahold of the team.
