VLADISLAV KAMENEV - Left Winger - 23 - $.750MM Cap Hit -x RFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 7/28/19
Kamenev, another prize from the Matt Duchene heist, has rebounded from a devastating leg injury early in his time as an Avalanche to re-establish himself as a legitimate NHL prospect. Kamenev is a very strong forward with a history of pre-injury success in the AHL. He's got tremendous size and strength, and has great puck possession abilities. He's an improving skater, and while he lacks top-end speed he has the skating ability to be a fine playmaker at the NHL level. His ability to stay strong on the puck is what allows him to create time and space to create plays, and as he gets more comfortable with the NHL game and more eager to use his big frame to his fullest defensive advantage, Kamenev's value should only appreciate. He still needs one AHL point-per-game or so season to regain his offensive touch, but he's very close to being an NHL forward and a full NHL season for him should come sooner rather than later, as he profiles as a career middle-6 well rounded winger.
