2016 NHL Draft prospect profile: Vitali Abramov is an offensive juggernaut

Some prospects coming over from Europe can have trouble finding their way offensively in North America. That was definitely not the case for Vitali Abramov, who was the top scorer for the Gatineau Olympiques, and the top rookie scorer in the entire QMJHL. He finished fifth in overall league scoring, and was an absolute terror in the offensive zone.

He is another undersized forward prospect, but with the ridiculous numbers he put up in the Q last year, he forced scouts to take notice. He is expected to be gone somewhere around the tail end of the first round, but those size concerns could cause a bit of a slide for him.
