Alexander Skvortsov at eliteprospects.com
He was a very underrated forward. Him, Kovin and Varnakov were one of the top Soviet lines back to end of 70s - begining of 80s. The most wonderful thing about them was, they didn't play on CSKA or even a Moscow club, but on Torpedo Gorkiy (N. Novgorod nowadays). Skvortsov played a lot vs NHL teams (3 Canada Cups participations) and was pretty succesful against them. He died ealier today at age 65.
