F Valentin Zhugin - Windsor Spitfires, OHL (2023 undrafted)

[Kshahdoo]

The kid is even younger than Michkov and really small right now (5'8, 117 lbs), but his MHL statistics isn't bad (2+8 after 22 games), and he plays with Kvochko and Kantserov, both of 2004 year. A line of 16 year olds (one of who turned 16 less than a month ago) in the MHL is a pretty unique situation.

1+2 game for the kid. He's now 5 + 12 after 35 games. 0.5 PPG for the youngest MHL player isn't that bad. He's ahead of Kantserov and Kvochko. His size is actually ok for his age - 5'9, 168 lbs.

Pretty darn good for a nearly 2005 guy in the MHL.

I doubt, he'll come. If there was a chance, he would have been picked way higher, than 54th. Still, chances of him coming are higher, than Michkov's.

Yeah, that's why he isn't on the Hlinka Gretzky roster.

Yeah, that's why he isn't on the Hlinka Gretzky roster.

Wasn't an issue for Kudryavtsev, Malyavin and Gazizov somehow.

It’ll help him get drafted eventually, but will hurt his development as a hockey player.

The kid started the season with 7 scoreless games, but it looks like he's got used to the CHL and found his game at last.

4 goals, 1 assist in his last 5 games, keep it up kiddo.
