Predators Have Spoken With One of KHL’s Top Goal Scorers (+)

Given his frenetic scoring pace in the Kontinental Hockey League this season, it’s tough to believe that Vasily Atanasov was passed over in three different NHL drafts.

Only three KHL players have scored more goals than Atanasov’s 17, and the 21-year-old Russian forward also ranks in the league’s top 10 in scoring with 32 points through 35 games.

His jaw-dropping goals are regularly featured highlights on the KHL’s Twitter account, and he’s starting to garner attention from some NHL teams — specifically the Nashville Predators.
