Saw him at Saginaw's rookie camp (who he was originally drafted by). Projects as a play maker that could thrive in time with a good sniper on his line. Good vision and crafty at times with the puck on his stick. Not really a big guy. Might take a year to adjust and get pushe around a bit before he gets stronger or refines his technique to be one step ahead of guys. Not gonna be a two way player IMO but plays good enough D that he won't be a liability in that department. Defiently has potential to be a top 6 forward in the CHL down the road.

He's doing well at Quebec Remparts camp. He said we was supposed to join the Portland WinterHawks but changed his decision after head coach Jamie Kompton was fired in April.

He's Igor's son isn't he? If he's anything like his father he's going to be a good 1.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

He's Igor's son of course.

He's taller than daddy (Igor Sr is 5'9 and Igor Jr is 6'0). But at 165 lbs, he needs to bulk up a bit.

His vision and passing ability are what really stands out when you see him play.

Thought he was going to the ramparts of the Q

only scouting report I saw on him suggested he go to uni to get an education as hockey was not going to be his meal ticket

I'm a bit confused about him visiting different CHL teams like he's a free agent. Doesn't someone have his rights?

You quoted an old post. He was in Saskatoon last year.

Oh you know his dad. His dad is still an agent I believe.

Quebec having 3 of his clients now (Kiselev, Kurashev, Buinitsky) probably helped.

It makes much less travel expenses.

Not really worth posting but he signed with SKA's farm team.

 

[Caser]

Signed a 1-year deal with KHL's Kunlun Red Star after passing a try-out.

I really didn’t expect him to be a pro hockey player unless it was the ECHL. Looks like he’s doing well, good for him. #69, nice.

Well he has come a long way since i started to follow his career.
- since 2016, Torpedo is his 8th team that he has played for

3 different major junior leagues; QMJHL, OHL, USHL,
3 different pro leagues; VHL, Allsvenskan, KHL

He was never drafted to the NHL
Was 230th overall pick in the 2014 OHL Draft
Signed as an free-agent to the QMJHL
also to the OHL and USHL

then Try-Outs....

Now leads his KHL team in goals and is second in points

Never give up

It's been 7 games, I doubt he's going to continue to shoot 27%.

I'm rooting for him but it's a bit too early for a post like this.

It's almost like having his legendary father as a coach has motivated him to elevate his game...

Or having him as an agent allowed him to get multiple chances with teams he probably never would have made until he finally stuck. Probably has the best training in the world as well. Either way though, good for him. It’s early but if he can continue to have success, it’ll be a cool story of how he went from a mediocre CHL player to a legit pro in his family’s home country.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

What I remember about him from his junior days is that he had the skills to be a good player but he was physically weak and he ended up being injured often.
