| SCOUT COMMENTS |

| "He's got great size and he's got good skills. When I went over to see him play, I just didn't like the work ethic that was there. But we loved his skill, and he's shown flashes. There's something there that we like here. He's got all the tools and skills." — Red Wings assistant general manager Jim Nill (October 2004) ... "He's 6-foot-4 with speed, hands and hockey sense. We say it and scouts from other teams say it too, he's the ultimate late pick because he has all the tools. If he ever makes it (to the NHL), he's a high-end player. But will he make it? Nobody knows right now." — Red Wings director of European scouting Hakan Andersson (January 2007). |
| STRENGTHS |
|---|
| Excellent size and good skating to match ... Good 1-on-1 ability and the individual skills to produce ... Smart offensive player ... Quick wrist shot ... Scorer's touch. |
| WEAKNESSES |
|---|
| Inconsistent work ethic has prevented him from fulfilling his potential ... Teases with occasional flashes of upside but can be invisible at other times ... Physical game doesn't match his size. |
| PROJECTION |
|---|
| Stolyarov put together a career-best season in the newly formed Kontinental Hockey League in 2008-09, posting 12 goals among 21 points in 41 games after joining Astana Barys. Injuries put a stop to his development in 2009-10, while the lack of a transfer agreement looks like it will keep him from factoring into the Red Wings' plans. He could be a top player in the KHL if things go well. |
