Scouting Report
The Russian defenseman is an excellent skater, a skill he is learning to use better to control gaps. Is more than willing to use his body to break up plays, but also can be disruptive with his stick. His play with the puck is improving; he has emerging vision and poise that should continue to get better as he matures.
Long Range Potential: Sound overall defenseman.
