pilldoc Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 From Bill Meltzer...... 4th round (104th overall) – Mikhail Vorobyov, C, Tolpar Ufa (MHL), 6-2, 198 lbs.Born January 5, 1997 in Ufa, Russia (age 18).Rankings: 24th on Central Scouting European skater list, 70th McKeens.Note: The Flyers originally held the 99th overall pick but traded down five spots with Los Angeles in exchange for also picking up an extra 6th round pick in 2016.Scouting Report: A defensively aware forward who earned a spot on Russia's U18 World Championship roster and posted four points (one goal, three assists in five games) in addition to playing well away from the puck. A good playmaker in the Russian junior league. Big and physically strong but scouts believe his skating needs improvement. His KHL rights belong to Salvat Yulaev Ufa. As I noted in a previous blog, the "KHL Factor" has become a much lesser concern for NHL teams over the past year because of a downturn in the Russian economy -- which has affected the KHL and its affiliated feeder leagues -- as well as an impending transfer agreement between the NHL and Russian Hockey Federation.
