Prospect Grade: 6.5 C  (About Prospect Grades)

Profile Contributed By: Matt MacInnis

History

2006-07: Kablukov saw limited minutes in 24 games with CSKA Moscow of the Russian SuperLeague.  He failed to register a single point, however.

Talent Analysis

Kablukov is similar in many ways to one of the Canucks’ few Russian draft picks, Artem Chubarov.  A solid two-way player, Kablukov has shown surprising offensive abilities against players his own age during the Canada-Russia Super Series.  With his size and two-way abilities, Kablukov is a steady and reliable player at both ends of the ice.

Future

The Russian appears to have some very real NHL potential, but it could come down to whether or not he is willing to spend time in the AHL.
