Georgii Merkulov - Wing - Ohio State - Boston Bruins

After a very strong freshman season with the Buckeyes, Merkulov left school early and signed with the Bruins recently. The former Youngstown Phantom (USHL) standout led Ohio State in scoring and goal scoring. In fact, he had double the number of goals of Blackhawks prospect Jake Wise, who was second. Merkulov is an extremely creative and skilled player. He is lethal on the powerplay with his shoot first mentality and ability to create further time and space for himself. His wrist shot is a major asset and gives him significant scoring potential at the NHL level. He could prove to be a real diamond in the rough for the Bruins, who obviously became enamored with him after checking in on top prospect Mason Lohrei at Ohio State.
