Vitaly Abramov is for the most part considered the top prospect in the Columbus Blue Jackets minor league ranks. The reigning Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) MVP is a bonafide scoring machine, tallying exactly 104 points in each of his last two seasons. I don’t care if you’re playing against a team on crutches, 208 points is serious output.
Although some hesitant fans prefer to stay cautiously optimistic on Abramov’s trajectory, I tend to err on the side of can’t wait. For example, I recently spoke about Vitaly’s explosive potential on Twitter only to be reminded minutes later that the Oliver Bjorkstrand hype was maybe a bit much for some.
