They then used that pick to take forward Anatoli Golyshev from Avtomobilist Yekaterinburg of the KHL

Golyshev had 25 goals and 44 points for Avtomobilist last season. He had one goal in six playoff games. He's 21, which is older than just about every other pick and is listed as 5'-8," 179 which is pretty damn small.
