The 2015 1st round draft choice is billed as a dangerous offensive player, but hasn't produced a lot of points so far this year. What gives?
On Tuesday it was announced, as shared in a FanShot by Defending Big D's Taylor Baird, that Denis Guryanov, the Dallas Stars' 1st round selection in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, has been named to Team Russia's selection camp roster for the 2016 World Junior Championship.
While he hasn't officially made the team yet, it's strongly assumed that Guryanov will be on his home nation's roster in Helsinki at the end of December, due in large part to being Russia's best player in this past summer's IIHF U18 tournament and having a good showing at the Hockey Canada National Teams' Summer Showcase in August.
