AI Scouting Report

Free

Ustinkov quietly racked up 18 points in 28 games for GCK Zurich in Switzerland's second division — a serious haul for a defenseman his age in a league that doesn't hand out offense for free. His ability to drive play from the blue line through sharp reads and crisp distribution projects him as a puck-moving presence on a third pairing, with real upside to grow if he can test himself at a higher level.

Scouting Breakdown

Free

Strengths

  • His 18 points in 28 games (0.64 pts/GP) is strong production for a defenceman in the Swiss second division.
  • The balance of 2 goals and 16 assists suggests he moves the puck intelligently rather than forcing shots.

Concerns

  • Swiss-2 is a lower-tier professional league, making it difficult to project how his game translates against NHL-caliber competition.
  • Just 2 goals from the blue line raises questions about his shot quality and offensive threat from distance.
  • His 18 PIM in 28 games suggests some undisciplined tendencies that could be exploited at higher levels.
