Nikita Chibrikov at eliteprospects.com

So far Chibrikov has probably been the best SKA-1946 player, better than Michkov, Spiridonov, Khusnutdinov. Small, but fast and shifty, very good dangler and has great chemistry with his linemates. Here is a beauty he scored tonight

Debuted in the KHL.

He's been a lot better than Khusnutdinov when I've been watching.

If we talk about MHL games, I agree. But yesterday in KHL Marat looked like a pro player.

I missed his KHL game. Do you think he'll get another one?

He should, because it looks like more than half of SKA roster got COVID.

Dayum.

He almost certainly will, SKA already announced they are going to play the next match with this kind of roster as well.

Regarding Chibrikov vs Khustnutdinov, Marat exhibits so much utility, it's almost sure thing already he will survive in the NHL as a small guy in one role or another. Nikita, albeit he is more impressive in junior at this point, is still very much a boom-or-bust prospect.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Scored the youngest SKA goal ever in the KHL.

Chibrikov is going to be good. He's as good skater as Khusnutdinov, but better stickhandler and goalscorer, and he's one year younger.

Who do you prefer between Chibrikov and Poltapov?

Who do you prefer between Chibrikov and Poltapov?

Hard to say, I've seen way more Chibrikov's games. He looks pretty impressive, not sure about Poltapov.

I'd say, he can get a WJC invite.

His elite offensive instincts are undeniable. Skating, hands and vision - love it.

There were rumours he was going to leave to NA and I feel that it's a good thing he stayed in Russia. He needs to learn how to play with adults to get around being overwhelmed physically

 

[Kshahdoo]

1+4 after 7 games in the VHL.

He'll probably be one of the best if not the best skaters for the draft.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

I’m a fan

 

[molotce]
