Is Romanov's lack of offense a cause for concern?
hard to say. Looking at the list of Russian defense-men (link) to ever play in the NHL, it was pretty hard to find cases of players producing in their D+1 or D+2 years in the KHL. Most of the modern offensive producers played elsewhere. The best offensive stats i've seen for a currently playing NHL-er was Orlov's 19 year old season with 12 points in 45.
The funniest thing looking at this list was that Gonchar, the highest scoring Russian D in NHL history, had 9 whole points as a 19 year old in the Russian league.
