Prospect Info: #209OA - Hurricanes select C Nikita Guslistov

[DaveG]

5'10 overager (D+1) that plays for Cherepovets in the KHL

Was around a point per game in the MHL and put up 5+2 in 28 KHL games.

From what I can find, youngest Russian player ever to score a hat trick in the KHL, and youngest captain ever in the KHL.

Looks like he produced well in the MHL last year and that production in the KHL isn't too shabby for his age.

Cool

MY BOY!!! I love Guslistov, so many good things to say. I talked about him and Machulin (undrafted) in the prospect page a few weeks back. Youngest KHL captain in league history (which speaks a heck of a lot about intangibles this early in his career), scored a hat trick to start off his KHL career, great shot and offensive chops. Really like this pickup, especially with the indefinite rights-holding.

Hell yeah a Russian! Seriously do not understand why JR and Francis avoided players from this country.

Thanks for shedding some light on this pick.

Would be surprised if he comes to NA but worth a shot this late in the draft.

Man, we got some interesting players here. Looks like a boom or bust class overall, but if even just 3 or 4 of the 13 pan out, that's really great.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Scored 1+1 in the first preseason KHL game. His team beat Admiral 5-3.

Nikita Guslistov has been called up to the Russian Olympic team to participate in the Parimatch Sochi Hockey Open tournament, which will be held in Sochi from 3 to 8 August at the Puck Ice Arena

they pulled the goalie to have a 4 on 3 OT? ballsy.

A shame David Cotton didn’t score.

Guslistov had 3 goals and 2 assists in 4 games in January. Side note KHL returns in 3 weeks from today. That is quite a break for these guys

Would be surprised if he comes to NA but worth a shot this late in the draft.

In the event he continues progressing, is there reason to believe he wouldn't be interested in coming over to the NHL eventually?
