Scouting report: Voinov is a good rushing defenseman and is a physical presence who has strong offensive upside. Already a veteran in Russia's top league, Voinov was up and down in the WJC but really held his own against his own age group at the Under 18's. Protects the net well and loves to get involved offensively, whether on the rush or jumping in from the point zone.
