He doesn't lead the RSL in scoring.

I don't think Istomin has even set foot in the RSL.

this dude told me, not in Hfboards, when we were talking about the upcoming draft. He mentioned the name, and said he lead the RSL in scoring. Im like WHAT? i've never heard of him. He tells me he will be picked in the second round. I know nothing about him...

He is leading the upper league....still a great feat for someone in his draft year.

There is absolutely no way Istomin is leading the RSL or the High League in scoring.

 

[Form and Substance]

Are you sure that is his stats. I seen a link a month ago that said he was around 28 points.

On his teams website it says he has 12 goals and 4 assists for 16 points in 48 games... Link

Either way, he's not even close to leading the league in scoring.

As for his style, he sounds like your stereotypical skilled Russian forward. He's listed at 6'1" 195 and is a good skater and one-on-one player. The knocks are that he doesn't play physical and sometimes doesn't work hard enough.

Is a player profile on Istomin. I haven't paid them, so I can only read the teaser.

Some basics:

Shoots: Left

I know that in 02-03 he was playing in the russian third league for Metallurg Magnitogorsk, which may have been the league he was leading (if he ever did lead a league)
