The New Jersey Devils’ No. 10 pick Anton Silayev drew the majority of the attention with Torpedo two seasons ago, but scouts were also impressed by what they saw of Artamonov, albeit mostly on tape, and the Hurricanes jumped on him at No. 50 (he was No. 40 on my list). He had a strong draft-age season for a forward in the KHL and clicked against his peers in the MHL playoffs once the pro team was eliminated. He then built on that with an excellent post-draft season as Torpedo’s leading scorer in the regular season with 39 points in 63 games as a teenager who played just 13 minutes per game to good results.
