Nikolai Chebykin

Drafted – 2016, Round 7, #182
Age-22, Winger, 6’4, 216lbs
Nikolai Chebykin has stepped his game up a little from our previous report, potting 5 points in his latest 10 games. Scoring at this rate certainly isn’t enough for Leafs fans to get excited about at the VHL level.

Another down note of late for Chebykin is his inability to stay out of the box. Chebykin is the second most penalised player in his league and that certainly isn’t a positive thing as he isn’t a fighter.

Vladamir Bobylyov

Drafted – 2016, Round 5, #122
Age-22, Winger, 6’3, 205lbs
Vladamir Bobylyov is the final of our minor league Russian forward prospects. Bobylyov has also had an improvement on his numbers from the last report, with an added 6 points in his last 10 appearances.

Bobylyov is bordering on no man’s land currently, he’s the oldest of the Russian prospects and since returning to Russia has really never truly found his feet. Bobylyov does have a North American aspect to his game, if there is absolutely any hope of him making it back here he needs to really amp up his offensive production and prove himself a power forward like fellow compatriot Yegor Korshkov.
