Talent Analysis

Zakhar Arzamastsev is a two way defenseman with rather good skating abilities even if he’s not a speedster. He showed good offensive instincts, but he tends to play on a very simple game and in this aspect he might be compared to Nikita Zaitsev, another junior player from Russia who struggles in playing with his creativity. With that being said he displayed good reading of the ice in both offensive and defensive situations. Arzamastsev needs to work over various aspects of his game – his shot, physical play and strength, mainly. Like many Russian junior defensemen Arzamastsev prefers pokechecking a forward rather than throwing the body around, but this is something that will be easy to fix once he’ll be more adjusted to the pro game.
