Interview with UConn from a few days ago. Hardly an accent, considering he just moved to the US a few years ago but has dual Russian citizenship.

My favorite thing about this kid is that if you search up "artem shlaine hockey" on YouTube the first thing you get are his high school Spanish projects

Are there more HS hockey guys going now than a few years ago (I know SSM is a little different) or are there usually a few sprinkled through the mid to late rounds?

I like that he went from a 21 commit to a 20 commit. 3 years to see if he is a legit prospect and figure out the skating.

That's plenty of time. Something tells me the skating will improve as the strength improves. Someday someone will do a study and figure out the skating potential thing, but my unscientific guess is the really lanky kids have more potential to unlock if they can build up their lower body strength. He seems to fit that bill.

Is it pronounced like if it rhymes with Laine? I hope it is.

This looks like a photo from a very intense shampoo commercial. He has much nicer hair than Evan Vierling btw.
