Player's names that sound better than they are
There are certain players that, if you didn't know hockey but heard the name you'd think that they were good. The first two that jump to mind are Barbashev and Faksa. Anyone else want to take a break from the business of fantasy hockey and join this diversion?

Kirill Kabanov was the first one that came to mind because I came across him doing some research earlier today.

Re: Player's names that sound better than they are
To be fair, all of the players listed so far are damn good at hockey. They're well within the best 0.0001% of those that have ever lived (probably far, far better than that but I don't care to do the math). They just aren't as good as the absolute best of the best.
