FWIW @thedraftanalyst had him ranked 35th overall, and 12th best winger available:

12. RW Dmitry Zavgorodniy (Rimouski Oceanic, QMJHL | 5’9, 173): Lightning-quick sniper with an excellent shot/release combination that doesn’t require much time or space to use. Zavgorodniy is an excellent skater with elite hockey sense who can sniff out eventual passing options and immediately turn an easy steal into a quality scoring chance. He may not look big, but Zavgorodniy has serious upper-body strength and will not only deliver a hit, but absorb them from bigger players. He’s as close to a complete player as you’ll find in a two-way winger listed less than six feet tall. He consistently looks for the cross-ice set-up, especially if the strong side of the puck is overloaded, and he has no problem connecting regardless of how dense the maze of sticks and skates is before him. He is extremely strong along he boards and will dangle or fake his way from a lengthy puck battle right into a prime shooting area. Zavgorodniy is a specialist on both the power play and penalty kill, and as a winger is used as the lone forward on 5-on-3 disadvantages.
