2010-11: Galiev played his best hockey in the QMJHL playoffs for a dominant Saint John club. The Sea Dogs had the league's best regular season record, losing just seven games in regulation, won the playoff championship, and captured the Memorial Cup. In the regular season, Galiev scored 37 goals with 28 assists and had a +36 plus/minus with 40 PMs in 64 games. In 19 playoff games he was the Sea Dogs' second-leading scorer behind Jonathan Huberdeau (FLA) with 10 goals and 17 assists and was +8 with 12 PMs. Galiev scored 1 goal with 2 assists and was +2 with 6 PMs in four Memorial Cup matches.
Talent Analysis
A talented puck handler, Galiev has a knack for finding the open man to set up a scoring opportunity. Elusive along the boards, the 18-year-old is hard to knock off the puck, thanks in part to his wide stance, although he would benefit from getting stronger. Already familiar with the demands of the North American game, Galiev has shown willingness for both the physical side of the game as well as helping out in his own zone, but he still needs to improve in both facets.
Future
Galiev has signed a three-year deal with the Capitals. He may return to Saint John for his third QMJHL season after attending Capitals’ camp. After coming to North America in 2008-09 to get accustomed to the culture and gain experience in North America, Galiev has exceeded expectations with his play thus far and should only improve as he gains size and strength. Galiev patterns his game after current Capital Alexander Semin though such comparisons between the two are premature. Long-term, Galiev projects as a top-six forward who can both distribute the puck and put it in the net. His positional play and defensive awareness are areas of his game that are still developing.
