Russians and name spelling will be the death of me. I had Berezkin No. 122 overall, offering that he provided “size, skill and shot” with speed being the worry. He is a right shot and has played with Maxim Denezhkin who was drafted by the Oilers last season. These lowland Russian picks can be valuable, if an organization is patient and can get them to North America.
I wonder how much it helps players develop by play miniscule minutes in the Kay versus big minutes in the Em?
Anyone aware of any history that sheds light on this?
Not only is he sticking in the KHL as an 18 year old (soon to be 19) and not shuffling between the KHL and VHL but he’s averaging 7:24 per game.
Doesn’t sound good but its VERY tough for teens to get ice time in the KHL – shit, Podkolzin had games post-draft with under 1 minute of ice.
The young set up the old:

(Michael Caine voice.) He was only 21 years old.

Nah…keep the forwards coming.

OK. Now do a G and D if you must.
