This kid's as opinionated as Cherry and not afraid to speak it either.

He thinks he has a good shot. Weird. His shooting percentage is horrawful. He shoots from anywhere and he shoots hard, but he does not have a good shot. He has a good release, maybe, but he's not Alex Kovalev at threading that needle.
The KHL is a distant second to the NHL. It's moving in the right direction but there's literally 2-3 teams that can be competitive in the NHL, and the rest are no point in comparing the two leagues now.
Money is everything in Russian youth hockey. Parents bribe coaches/officials to get them to play their kids. And it's started happening on the National team as well.
He had this to say about players whose style he likes:
Wow, his command of the English language rivals Cherry's.

When I was young, my father and I additionally went to train with Alexander Maltsev. He showed me what I had to do, he entrusted me with what he knew. And to name players against who I play... I am so selfish, I am not going to say anything. I'd better keep my opinion. Everyone is a good player: Kovalchuk, Sema [Alexander Semin] is very good, golden hands... But I will keep my opinion [to myself].
I have no idols, I am the only person.
Wow, his command of the English language rivals Cherry's.
