Left handed shot winger, 5'10'' and 192 pounds, he's been recently drawing comparisons to the Wild's superstar, Kirill Kaprizov, who was also a late-round draft pick. The Russian had a break out season last year in the KHL where he collected nothing less 54 points in 56 games.
As a comparison, before joining the Canucks, Andrei Kuzmenko collected 53 points in 47 games, as a 26-year-old, whereas Kovalenko just dit that as a 23-year-old.
The Russian would potentially be joining an already stacked offence made of Nathan Mackinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog. If he ends up breaking out like Kuzmenko did, it's a safe bet to assume that the Avs are going to be serious cup contenders.
