Artyom Shchuchinov

Mobile undersized defenseman with quick feet, agility, flexibility, mobility, and confident stickhandler who is always looking to create offensive. He has an arsenal of shots which he uses effectively. Makes accurate breakouts and set up feeds. A terrific skater when moving forward; his backward and lateral movements going back are in need of lots of improvement. Has been frequently used as a winger on the power play. He is physically small and not tough at all. His play in the defensive end is poor because of his and positioning and the fact that the larger forwards dominate. A long term project who needs to fill out, and gain upper body strength and improve his backward skating.
