Future Considerations:
Popugaev is a hulking winger with some strong goal-scoring ability. He is a straight line player and it’s a thing of beauty when he finds a lane and gets full extension, his stride generating impressive speed. However, his edgework, transitional footwork and overall balance don’t look so fluid, preventing him from keeping his momentum.
