Best Sens Russian prospect since Ilya Zubov.
I see what you did there.
Best Sens Russian prospect since Ilya Zubov.
Plays the game like Yakupov, similar demeanour (imo) to Yakupov. Not saying he's a bust, as he's more of a lottery ticket at this point. The upside is obviously there, but it's not easy to transition his play style to the NHL.
This isn't a guy who will work his way into a bottom-six role, but I appreciate taking a flyer on a guy with his skill.
Although he's short, he doesn't look "small" in those videos... ie he looks relatively thick through the torso. Which is really what matters, it's the skinny guys who have a hard time at the pro level.
Biggest boom/bust prospect in the pool now
Seriously this guy could be a impact top-6 forward, he's like Gallagher with high end skill. He has the motor, the desire, everything but sometimes, for some reason, talented players can't take it to the next level (ex : Yakupov, Filatov)
Can't remember where but i saw pointe as a comparisonI don't think the Yak/Filly mentions have any point to them. Abramov is endlessly driven compared to Filly and endlessly brilliant compared to Yak. Same country of origin, not too much more.
As far as the Gallagher comparison, I could certainly see it in Abramov's Q game, I'm a bit hesitant to say he could do that at the pros. I haven't watched actual Cleveland Monsters games so I wouldn't know how it's been so far. But he looks a bit smaller than Gallagher, and remember that Gallagher is always playing on the edge of getting hurt.

Pretty negativeNot my kind of player at all, more meh .... it's all about the first with this trade & hopefully the conditional first turns into something.
Maybe Duchene re-signs this summer .... better?Pretty negative
And focus on when he might leave.Even if he becomes an impact top6 forward, it's important to always maintain a state of disappointment and focus on his flaws.
I have a lot of respect for any Russian player who chooses to go to the CHL, it's really easy for them to stay in Russia, make some money, and still play in the NHL if they're good enough. Going to the CHL shows they're really serious about making the NHL.watched this video again... this guy looks like he is happy to be in the AHL and happy to be in 'murica unlike Filly.

Interesting that he’s a left shooting right winger.
When is the last time we had a guy playing wing on his off hand as a natural position?
I’m tempted to say Michalek when he played with Greening and Spezza but I think his natural position was LW.
Bobby has been back and forth between left and right. Majority on the right side though.
is he in for belleville tonight?
