LD Roman Bychkov - Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, KHL (2019, 154th, BOS)

[PepeBostones]

Can't find a thread on Russian defenseman Roman Bychkov so let's start one. Been watching quite a few games with Loko Yaroslavl in MHL this year.
I've been very impressed with defenseman Roman Bychkov. Born 2001 and drafted by the Boston Bruins in 2019 NHL Draft 5th round 154 overall.

Seeing this kid with a tremendous skating ability, he plays in all situations. 5A5, power play and kills penalties. Smooth puckhandler and makes crisp passes hitting fowards in full speed. Doesn't seem to run around like young defensemen can do, instead playing his position.

Bychkov was also drafted in the CHL Import Draft in 2019, 2nd round #98 overall by Guelph Storm of Ontario Hockey League. His stats so far in 2019-20

Kid looks legit . Saw his highlights and plays a calm cool game. Excellent puck retrieval and nice breakout passes. Another solid dman in bruins deep blue line pipeline.
