C Alexander Kadeykin - Atlant Mytishchi, KHL (2014, 201st overall, Detroit)

[goforit]

Was looking at his team players' stats and noticed that he's the leading scorer and only 20 yo. On top of that, he's 6'5'', 216lbs.

Anyone knows why he's still undrafted? Russian that never came over and never will? Slow? Low/no hockey IQ?

I've seen him minimally, he's a slick player rather than a grinder, that's all I can contribute. Nice to see a guy graduate to KHL straight from Russian juniors straight to KHL success, its quite rare.

Anyone knows why he's still undrafted?

NHL Russian scouting quality is rather poor actually, so a young MHL player that didn't appear at KHL at the early age or didn't play for NT at the U-18 or U-20 WJC has almost no chance to get drafted.

Ok! Thanks for the info guys!

Any chance this guy getting draft this year? 20 years old, 6"5, best scorer of his team (KHL)!

I'd like to know more about this guy. Yes he is an overager but he was the best scorer of his KHL team. He's also huge 195 cm / 6'5" 98 kg / 216 lbs.

Red Wings just drafted him in the 7th round, 201th overall

 

[Hzzz]

Damn, I really wanted the Caps to draft him.

 

[malkinfan]

Great steal. Wings know that no one will touch him so they get him at a good spot. I see moves like this and Marchenko as grand larceny.

How likely is it that he comes over?
