Sasha Pastujov's Player Profile

Hockey Prospecting - July 8th: "This is a risk/reward pick. Pastujov has tons of skill, he can make plays and can score from a lot of places in the offensive zone but he’s not a very good skater (scouting reports describe him having pretty poor mechanics and no pace to his skating) and his defensive game and possession game aren’t incredible."

Jacob Barker - Dobber Prospects - July 7th: "An absolute danger to opponents with the puck on his stick, Pastujov can generate chances in the offensive zone in multiple ways. His super quick release and crisp passing ability make him a weapon on the half wall for the powerplay, with flashes of serious offensive skill showing at even strength as well."

Scott Wheeler - The Atheletic - June 22nd: "He’s got excellent touch, regularly pulling pucks through feet and sticks and into space. But he also mixes in fakes and stutter-steps to create transition separation or go inside-out on defenders."

Steve Kournianos - The Draft Analyst - May 24th: "It’s hard to ding one of the draft’s best shooters, but Pastujov became too reliant on his cannon while his linemates did most of the grunt work."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - Apr. 23rd: "The 17-year-old plays a creative style to complement a 200-foot game."

Clare McManus - Dobber Prospects - Mar. 8: "Pastajov is phenomenal with the puck on his stick offensively and is an elusive skater who is hard to stop when he is moving. He can display as a dual-threat scorer, who can make smart passes to teammates and get quality shots to the net."

Tony Ferrari - Dobber Prospects - Feb. 22nd: "Pastujov is producing at an impressive level but sometimes that data doesn’t match the eye test."
