An 2002 birthyear, Tyuetnev spent the year playing in all three major levels of Russian hockey. He spent most of the year in the MHL providing an offensive threat for Loko Yaroslavl. He has a nose for the net, finding soft spots in the defensive setup and can have some success once he gets the puck on his stick. He’s an inconsistent skater, he can look explosive at times with strong bursts of acceleration and good top-end speed. Offensively he’s gifted at working off the puck, at times he appears to wait for his teammates to work the puck to him rather than taking the onus on himself to be the creator. Shows an ability to have an impact on the defensive side of the game, supporting his teammates and helping smother the other team’s offensive attack. Another player who is entering the draft for the second time, he was passed up in the 2020 NHL draft, but has shown improvements in the areas that he needed to improve the first time around. If he can become a more consistent play driving player he will be able to take his game to the next level. There are people who thought he should have been selected in the last draft, so there’s a chance that a team takes a chance on him this time around.
