First, the Vegas Golden Knights took Russian forward Pavel Dorofeyev with the 79th overall pick, before selecting defenseman Layton Ahac with the No.86 pick.
Dorofeyev is a left-shot wing from Nizhny, Tagil, Russia and is known as a highly creative and offensively gifted forward.
Elite Prospects states that the 18-year-old has a good release and immense puck-handling skills, while he can read the game impressively.

The only slight concern is Dorofeyev’s compete level, but that is only a rare blemish on the copybook when you consider that he was ranked as the 15th-ranked prospect by Scott Wheeler of The Athletic.
