Good player for a 4th liner. Tons of potential.

Not really enough known about him to be able to judge him but if he played in the KHL, then he's got to have some upside to his gane

Upgrade on Sarkanis (unsure of spelling) just like The young goalie we've got it over Pacl. Little upgrades through so far.

For a forth liner, he looks pretty good. Young, quick and like most Russians he'll probably be dangerous on the attack.
The VHL is a tough league to score points in and he's got 0.48ppg overall and quite easily lead his team in PPG (0.6) last season - Logan MacMillan had only 0.24ppg in his two seasons there.
I think he could be a surprise package. He's obviously eyed up more minutes and somewhere he can cut his teeth because he was signed up with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in the KHL for 17/18. I'm sure his objective would be to get top minutes back in the KHL.

I think this guy could cause a few surprises, good potential judging from the fact he's played a few games in the KHL, hopefully on the fourth line he can get Lacho firing again. Exciting times ahead.

I'm always a little suspicious of a young player deciding to head this way when he's been in a better system. If he was likely to stick in the KHL at any point you'd think he'd stay with it? Add to that Neilson in full spin mode (adding "super" to everything), I'm a bit non plussed.
Still, as Pies says, have to wait and see.

As Yotes said, fringe KHL to the EIHL is quite a move.
Maybe everyone is over-analysing.
Or are they....?

Definitely a wait and see signing but having a KHL player on the 4th line bodes well for the signings to come.

If he's really so super skilled,why is he starting on the 4th line ? 🙄
What Neilson means is.
He hasn't got a clue what the kid is like,so it's a risky wait and see if he's any good !

If he's a depth guy on the 3rd/4th lines then I'm happy with it . Russians are usually pretty handy especially going forward.
As long as our top 6 forwards have bags of quality. That's the main thing

As a forth liner i think this is a great signing. He young and should have a desire to prove himself. Im hoping this is MacMilland replacement. Should easily be an upgrade.
His stats arent to be sniffed at either. 0.48 ppg in the VHL and repeated call ups to the KHL. Last year at Edinburgh Vorobyov who has a career average of 0.66 ppg in the VHL scored a point per game.
Can see this guy ending up on a line with Farmer and whoever Magratten's replacments is.

Not buying that answer Pidge,he ain't a junior at 22. One min he's great because he's come from the KHL and the next he's only young so he's 4th line. Make your mind up ! |

Make your mind up ! He's both. 22 is young!! Mosey was young and fast when he signed..and wasn't expected to be one of the go to guys too. This guy is Russian, he won't be too shabby. Every team needs these type of signings. |

No, in Sheffield atm i'm seeing several ageing over the hill players who have left their best years behind. 22 is still a young age for an ice hockey player and especially for a russian who'll have to adapt to a very different style of play and a foreign language. I know you dislike Neilson but it seems like you're ready to complain no matter who it is we sign |

I'd actually say it's the 3rd best league in the world behind the SEL. The reason the khl is where it is due to the huge wage budgets the teams have that Can attract some very handy players.
Iginla. Sheffield tend to sign risky swedes from the 2nd tier ! . Cardiff until last year have had a number of cheap Canadians occupieing the 3rd/4th lines
