Gordeev became an NHL prospect when he was drafted by the Maple Leafs in the 5th round. Standing at a massive 6’6 and weighing in at 212 pounds he towers over opposing teams forwards. He plays a mobile north-south game, and is deceptively quick for his size.
In each of his three seasons in the OHL he has steadily improved going from 14 points in 2016/2017, to 25 points in 2017/2018, to 32 points this last season. While offense is not part of his main skill-set, the continued increase in offense is a good sign.
Scouting Report
The scouting report on Gordeev is as follows:
In terms of skating, Gordeev is going to have to work on his lateral movement due to current issues closing the gap on some of the leagues more speedy players.
