Russia was the first to see their regular season games start, as of September 1st. At this point I’ve been able to see at least three games for each of the four main prospects in Russia: Dmitri Ovchinnikov, Nikita Grebyonkin, Artur Akhtyamov and Vyacheslav Peksa. Rodion Amirov is still going through his treatments and recover.
Nikita Grebyonkin
After watching the pre-season I was pretty darn excited about Grebyonkin. He had been given a fair amount of playing time, and was darn effective with his combination of size and skill.
Things continued to look good, as Grebyonkin played 8:50 in his first game, a game his team lost big.
