Playing career

edit

Bobylev made his professional debut in the 2016–17 season, returning to Russia and playing 20 games with HC Spartak Moscow in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). After recording just 3 points with Spartak, Bobylev opted for an immediate release with the club in order to continue his development in North America, returning to former junior club the Victoria Royals of the Western Hockey League on December 9, 2016.[2]

Bobylev attended the Maple Leafs 2017 training camp the following summer before he was reassigned to AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, in order to partake in another training camp.[3] He returned to Russia at the conclusion of the Marlies training camp, joining Salavat Yulaev Ufa in a trade from Spartak and signing a three-year contract to begin the 2017–18 season.[4]

Bobylev spent parts of three seasons within the Traktor Chelyabinsk organization, before returning to original club, Spartak Moscow on 25 June 2021.[5] After attending Spartak's pre-season training camp, Bobylev was then traded to continue in the VHL with Lada Togliatti on 23 August 2021.[6]
