Vaisili Ponomaryov

Vasili is a natural left shot who plays center and the left side.

Ponomaryov or Ponomarev as some people know him (either spelling is ok) has an extremely high hockey IQ. He is very creative with the puck and almost always makes the correct play. Doesn’t seem to rush himself when pressured with the puck on his stick. He draws defenders to him and then with his excellent edge work and puck skills makes the perfect pass. Thinks the game a few moves ahead like most players in this draft class. Vasili is an excellent skater and that seems to be a theme in the 2020 draft class. Has top notch acceleration and gets to full speed in a hurry. Ponomaryov plays very well on the powerplay as he demonstrated last season at the U17 World Championship in November. Was named to the tournament All Star team scoring 8 points in 6 games including 4 goals. Continue Reading

Jamie Drysdale falls into the category of “new age defenseman”. He is a right shot defenseman which we all know is a commodity in the NHL. Add to that the fact that he can skate like the wind and make superb outlet passes and you have a very hot commodity.

I don’t usually like to do articles on goaltenders because they can be so hard to project to the next level and, even the best goalie guru’s get it incorrect once in awhile. I just can’t resist doing an article on Yaroslav Askarov,

Jake Neighbours is a versatile winger with a strong two way game and acknowledged leadership skills. A stocky, skilled winger who reminds me a lot of former Oil King teammate Trey Fix-Wolansky (CBJ signee),
Peterson

Peterson
For a big man Peterson has incredibly soft hands. Hands are always placed on the stick in the proper position which enables him to dangle defenders at will. Don’t get caught looking at the puck because he will make you look rather average.
