Scouting Report
The Russian defenseman arrived in North America during his formative years as a teenager before returning overseas. The late-blooming rearguard is capable of holding down a regular job in the NHL, when healthy. He is at his best when he keeps things simple and may be best on a pairing with an offensive-minded partner. He moves the puck well and has NHL size, though he is still learning how to use it effectively. Injuries can be an issue for him.
Long Range Potential: Big puck-moving defenseman (when healthy).
