The rest of the release:
Kugryshev (koo-GRIH-shev), 20, is a 6’0", 185-pound native of Balakovo, Russia, who is in his second season with the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL). He has 83 points (28 goals, 55 assists) in 64 games this season and is Quebec’s leader in points and assists. He is seventh in the QMJHL in points and fourth in the league in assists.
Kugryshev recorded 74 points (34 goals, 40 assists) in 57 games for the Remparts last season. He participated in the Capitals’ development camp last summer as well as the team’s rookie and training camps in September.

Could someone that knows more about junior hockey shed some light on rather this is good, average, or bad?
Free Eric Fehr!
He just turned 20. By comparison, in the season during which Mathieu Perreault turned 20, he was 34-80-114 in 65 games played. Francois Bouchard, in the season in which he turned 20 (he actually turned 20 just after the season), was 36-56-92 in 68 games played.

Likely that he’ll at least be among the Black Aces.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
The Remparts had a strong start to their season but the last month has been very mediocre. Coach Roy has benched his captain (not Dmitry) at least once and has been trying some conditioning drills (bag skates, Herbies, and so on) to motivate the team. I should note that of all the players I’ve seen Coach single out for scolding (for slacking, or whatever), it’s never been Dmitry. I should also note that when I wrote my first Farm Report four weeks ago, D was 4th in the Q in scoring, and now he’s slipped to seventh.
In short, I think they will probably advance to the second playoff round but not much farther unless the team starts playing together better as a unit. They have some decent skill guys and the ability to score a lot, when they put their minds to it.
Now helping to keep an eye on all things Gr8 at Alex Ovetjkin.
The Q is by far the highest scoring CHL league, and the players from there generally need more work defensively. As J.P. pointed out, Kuger’s numbers aren’t great for the Q, but they aren’t bad either. The WHL is generally the most physical from what I’ve gathered, though the OHL is plenty physical as well. My take is that the OHL is the deepest league as far as talent, and plays the most NHL-style game of the 3 leagues. But I’m by no means a CHL expert and I didn’t even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.

Sounds too much like “Krygier” ;)
He seems more like a set-up man than a scorer from those numbers, no?

Not to mention that fact that Milan Jurcina and my younger daughter share a nickname as well.

I think Kuger’s biggest issue in the rookie camp was his conditioning. He seems to be very skilled offensively, but he was left off the WJC Team.

Q: You send him cards on his birthday?

And the latest HF remarks on him (a.k.a. one person’s opinion):
11. Dmitri Kugryshev, RW — 6.5C
5’11, 193 lbs
Drafted: 2nd round, 58th overall, 2008
January 18, 1990
When Kugryshev was drafted, he had every intention of coming to North America to hone his skills, and he has done quite a bit more than just that.
Now in his second year playing for Quebec of the QMJHL, Kugryshev is building on a spectacular rookie campaign with 27 goals and 78 points in only 59 games. These numbers are currently good enough to put Kugryshev in the top five in league scoring, no small accomplishment in the high-scoring QMJHL. While he might not have a lot to prove in juniors anymore, making the next step will be tricky. Kugryshev plays like a young Tomas Fleischmann, who took a long time to break out of his shell and get used to the NHL. The road will be similar for the now 20-year-old skilled Russian forward. Expect a year or two in Hershey before he is ready to take on the NHL.

While the Q might not be the toughest league to cut one’s teeth in, I like a few things about this kid already. He seems ready to disavow the KHL committed to the North American game and it’s hard to teach scoring so I’ll take Flash, Jr. for now. It might not be too much to ask for 15 lbs more.
Plus, he’ll have Varly to hang with in Chocolatetown next year!
