SCOUTING REPORTS

"He's a big, powerful winger who skates well and has a lot of offensive creativity. He beats defenders routinely with his one-on-one plays, sees the ice well and can create at the net. He's not going to run players over with his physical play, but he uses his body to create offense. He has the ability to control play at even strength due to his variety of tools and looks the part of a potential strong top-six winger in the NHL." - Corey Pronman, The Athletic

"Chernyshov brings a combination of size and skill. He has a gear through the neutral zone in transition and his most attractive element is his potential offensive upside, especially on the power play. Overall, Chernyshov is best described as equal parts shooter and distributor." - Sam Cosentino, Sportsnet

"His competitive energy and smooth skating make him fun to watch. Chernyshov is a 6-foot-2 forward who can play with physicality, but it’s the way he’s constantly forcing opponents to make quick, potentially undesirable decisions that makes him compelling." - Steven Ellis, Daily Faceoff
