Nikita Scherbak is one of the most skilled prospects to be a part of the Montreal Canadiens organization in recent years. Falling into Montreal’s lap at 26th overall in 2014, he’s yet to realize his full potential after his first two professional seasons.
While he has shown stretches of being a star in the making, he has his growing pains still, which has drawn the ire of his head coach on multiple occasions. Even with his hiccups, Scherbak is growing as a player and in this last season took a major step toward being the best player possible.
