Fyodor Avramov

July 2025 – A surprise appearance in North America at the Carolina Hurricanes development camp, Avramov showcased his unique playstyle and hunking physical frame (6-3, 205 pounds) to fans in attendance that might have never seen him before. A smooth skater, he’s able to maneuver around defenders either with his skating or just going straight at them and going through them. He’s also an underrated shooter, with enough power to blow past goalies. He has another year on his contract with HK Sochi in the KHL, but he’s expected to have a good role with their VHL team in the upcoming season, that team being HC Rostov. Nick Bass

April 2024 – Avramov is a raw but skilled hulking winger who uses his physicality liberally to make the lives of MHL defenses rather unpleasant. His handling skill is the gem of his puck-skills trifecta, featuring an unlocked top hand, and it works very nicely in tandem with his physicality and puck-protection ability. He will need a few years and is far from a slam-dunk NHLer, but the raw tools are intriguing. (April rankings #93) Sebastian High
