Igor Chernyshov has gotten lost in the shuffle, it seems. Maybe it’s other Russian prospects like Ivan Demidov, Anton Silayev, and the like, hogging all the spotlight from overseas — because one of the most electrifying forwards we have seen in a while and a 6-foot-7 defenseman that can skate like the wind, can do that — or it’s just pure happenstance, but we haven’t really heard enough about this player.
He is comfortably in the middle of the first round and has been for some time now throughout the 2024 rankings season, and has just flown mostly under the radar as an option for a team to be excited about drafting him.
