Igor Chernyshov, drafted 33rd overall by the San Jose Sharks, underwent successful shoulder surgery and will join the Saginaw Spirit, leaving his KHL contract early.
The Russian winger, seen as a potential late first-round pick, experienced a surprising shoulder injury after participating in the Sharks Development camp.
In 2024, Chernyshov split his time between the KHL and MHL, totaling 3 goals and 1 assist in the KHL, and 13 goals and 15 assists in the MHL.
Scout Lassi Alanen noted Chernyshov as one of the best rush creators in the 2024 NHL Draft, showcasing strong anticipation and skill.
