Morozov agreed to terms on a two-year, entry-level contract with Vegas on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Morozov saw action in 22 KHL games this year for St. Petersburg SKA and Sochi HC in which he recorded five goals and six helpers in 22 contests. With his NHL deal in hand, Morozov will make the jump to North America and link up with AHL Henderson for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign.

Morozov, who the Golden Knights drafted 61st overall in 2018, figures to eventually blossom into a "major contributor" for the young franchise, Jesse Granger of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Granger reminds us that the 19-year-old phenom is already capable of competing against his elders in the KHL. Brimming with confidence following a highly successful run at the IIHF World Junior Championships over the winter, the 6-foot-1, 178-pound winger with supreme on-ice vision produced five goals and two assists through 16 games for SKA St. Petersburg. Since Morozov reportedly is under contract with that club for two more seasons, fantasy owners can safely wait at least that long before giving him a look in keeper/dynasty formats.
