ANATOLI GOLYSHEV - Left Winger - 24 - Drafted 2016 #95 Overall
LAST UPDATED 1/16/19
Despite being mere months from free-agency as a player too old to be drafted, Golyshev found himself selected by the Islanders in the fourth round of the 2016 draft. Golyshev is a premier offensive talent in the KHL, and his offensive upside is immense. Despite being quite undersized, his speed, instincts, hands, shot, and playmaking abilities allow him to drive the offensive play whenever he is on the ice. His play away from the puck still needs work, but he is a purely offensive player, so with the right deployment those warts can be avoided. It remains to be seen how Golyshev can adapt to the North American game, as many Russian players with good KHL numbers struggle across the pond, but with the right coaching, Golyshev can be an impact top-6 playmaker for the Islanders.
