No. Not even invited to the Canada Russia Series means he is not considered.
Ahhhhh, bummer. Was hoping to have to Russians two root for (assuming Kostin makes it barring anything crazy).Highly unlikely this year, but I think next year his chances are good.
@Caser any updates on how Toropchenko has looked recently?
IDK about being "a machine". He's a 19 year old .5 ppg player in the OHL. I don't think he's got a ton of upside...Kid's a machine
Kulemin has scored 30 once. I doubt Toropchenko is in that tier.IDK about being "a machine". He's a 19 year old .5 ppg player in the OHL. I don't think he's got a ton of upside...
but he is a big bodied guy who can skate. I think he tops out as a Nik Kulemin type of player.
