Scouting Report
“A two-way center who can fill many roles, Ponomaryov was one of the top rookies in the QMJHL and a key contributor to a rebuilding Shawinigan squad. Not only is he capable of creating highlight-reel plays with his vision and passion, but he also knows how to incorporate all four teammates into the attack and can thread the needle while looking off or moving up ice in an odd-man rush. Ponomaryov is a versatile forward who can be trusted with checking assignments, and as proven in the Hlinka and WJAC, can also succeed when given tough matchups against heralded players.” – The Draft Analyst
