He has the pedigree to play in the NHL. Son of Andrei Kovalenko
and he has landed in denver lets go
Son of Andrei kovalenko great player
I'm from Russia and I watch KHL, and if you're wondering who could be the next unexpectedly very good NHL player from Russia, then take a look at Voronkov from Columbus
That guy can HIT
Jus cause they last name sounds similar u think they gonna be the same lol
Dislike
No but having a father who knows what it takes, has cause/effect for development. Kovalenko stayed in KHL to continue to grow at higher level, not fizzle out in the AHL. He is rounding out a very offensive game with 200' responsibility.
AVs are looking for cheap depth, but they're terrible drawing outside the Top 10. Fans are not too excited, might become a serviceable 3rd or 4th line Winger.
I've been excited for years since he took over with Torpedo. Yes the Avs have terrible record of mid-1st picks... Bleackley prob the worst. But this is a steal of a player.
Idk man, Calum Ritchie has looked like one of the biggest steals of the draft… Kovalenko is not expected to be a first liner. He is expected to play bottom 6 and anything above that is considered amazing. I think he will fit well on the third line alongside Colton & LOC
he's also an over rated bum, so yes very similar to kuzmenko lol
The crazy part is both Kuzmenko AND Kovalenko are both closer in skill to Wayne Gretzky than you are to either of them 😂😂
