My apologies, I totally forgot him!!!
Ivan Ryabkin surpassed Matvei Michkov's U-17 scoring record in the MHL in 2023-24 by 2 points in 12 fewer games, he has all-world skill at his disposal. Everything you want in a top-C is here in this package, including speed, elite vision, the hands to make defenders look silly, and a slick release. He's also willing to get his nose dirty and throw his weight around, and he won't embarrass you defensively. The problem is that he seems to be mailing it in this year, with only 12 points in 15 MHL games, and rumours persist that he not only has a poor attitude, but also pays little attention to his conditioning. I still see him going in the first half of round #1 this summer......for now.
