Good point. He got all those points in first part of season (was it 6 points in 6 games?).
How can they judge his offense based on KHL stats. Too bad he doesn't have much to go on prior to KHL. There are some MHL numbers but kid grew like crazy, so hard to judge.
In their draft years in KHL....
Nikishin had 3 in 29 (carolina blueliner that looks amazing)
Simashev 0 in 18 game
Silayev looks incredible in the videos online that's for sure.
