It’s a little uncertain to me how his first name is accurately spelled. It’s either Vjateslav or Vyacheslav. Call him Double-V for now. Here’s what Central Scouting had to say about him:

“Vjateslav is a talented and skilled defenseman who needs some time to develop. He is strong in the defensive zone and is able to make good decisions with the puck. He needs to get stronger and to improve on his first-step quickness.”

This past season was either the first or second of his three-year contract in Russia. Not totally sure which. That’s a question for Lombardi at the end of the day.
