RE - Zharkov and Bumagin
I haven't seen much of Bumagin, so I can say more when I do see him. I saw him last season quite a bit though - good offensive upside there - sees the ice very well and has good speed.
Zharkov - consistently skating as a spare forward when he is being used at all. Him and Anisin are splitting the U20 spot at forward for CSKA, with Goncharov being a dman in the U20 mix. His speed and agresiveness is still there, but he gets very few minutes of ice time, so it's hard to tell in regards to his development. The coach was talking about making changes on the squad during November. I hope that doesn't mean bringing in too many new players - because that would further squeeze out the youngsters.
