Blackhawks Prospect Max Shalunov Wins Gagarin Cup In Russia

If you are unfamiliar with Max Shalunov, he was originally drafted by the Blackhawks in the 4th round of the 2011 NHL Draft. Shalunov is a big-bodied center (6’4″ 210 lbs) who is a good playmaker and skates fairly well for his size. He was initially brought over to North America during the 2013-14 season, where he had an unsuccessful 20 game stint with the Rockford IceHogs (AHL) as he only tallied 4 points (4A). He also had a 40 game stint with the Toledo Walleye (ECHL) where he posted a more respectable stat line of 34 points (18G, 14A) in 43 games.
