edit: played in the USPHL-PR which I have never hear of
I don't even know why they brought him in. A 98' playing in a league where most guys aren't even good enough for the ECHL. He wasn't even the best goalie on his team, never mind that league.
This draft was riddled with excellent goalies the Leafs could have invited.
isn't it always at the mastercard center?
u need to fill out rosters for scrimmages ever development camp does this as well as rookie camps .plus there is always a draft choice or 2 that has commitments in their own ountries no big deal .a minuscule chance any of these players turn out into an asset
It was in Niagara Falls last year and Collingwood the year before.
russia has been pretty good to windsor spitfires general manager warren rychel over the years.
The club has landed standouts such as mikhail sergachev, andrei loktionov and alexander khokhlachev in the canadian hockey league import draft and rychel hopes he landed two more gems on wednesday.
the spitfires grabbed 18-year-old russian forward kirill kozhevnikov with its first pick, 40th overall, in the draft and then added 16-year-old russian defenceman lev starikov in the second round with the 64th pick overall.
"i'm grateful to be chosen by the managers of the team," kozhevnikov said. "i'm looking forward to moving to windsor, meeting my new teammates and being a part of (the) team."
the six-foot-two, 205-pound kozhevnikov was rated 96th among european skaters by nhl central scouting for this month's draft, but was not selected.
a left-handed shot that can play either wing, scouts commented on kozhevnikov's strong skating and ability to shoot, calling him a more of a north-south player rather than trying to stickhandle through the neutral zone.
"usually, russian forwards are more perimeter guys, but this kid's not," rychel said. "he'll be more accustomed to our league (style) and he'll be a top six forward."
kozhevnikov had 10 goals and 26 points in 46 games playing for mamonty yugry in russia's top junior league. He also had 71 penalty minutes and played four games in the kontinental hockey league with yugra khanty-mansiysk.
while not drafted by an nhl club, kozhevnikov's agent, alexey dementyev from ideal agency, said he will be attending prospects camp with the toronto maple leafs.
"i'm not disappointed, not being taken in the nhl draft, because there is a time and place for everything," kozhevnikov said. "i hope to work as hard as possible and become a player of the nhl in the future."
