Pavel Dorofeyev’s only real issue is his skating.
That’s it. That’s all there is to it.
Otherwise, Dorofeyev’s year could not have been better for the kid, and his game could not look better for someone looking to boost their winger depth.
Pavel Dorofeyev’s humble roots out in the russian boondocks appears to have given him a good sense of hard work, able to put in some tough assignments in both forechecking and backchecking, never shying away from getting hit to make a play, and always able to get himself into position to get a quick wrist shot off or to create golden opportunity by sneaking into the weak spots of a defense and making his competitors look like chumps.
