Nikita Pavlychev Facts

Drafted: 2015 round 7 #197 overall by Pittsburgh Penguins
Agency: Premium

A tall, lanky center with an acute understanding of the game. A deceptively strong skater with good balance. Relies on using his size to shield the puck in the neutral zone and is usually the one to start plays in the offensive end. Defensively reliable; exhibits very well-rounded habits in his own end. All-in-all, an intelligent defensive player whose instincts at both ends of the ice will aid his maturation into a versatile, complete two-way forward. (Curtis Joe, EP 2015)
