Ok, why the fuc*en blue hell did Koltsov get cut?

[Rinslet]

Maybe it is still true what Nonis (or was it Tamby?) says about Kolstov's "defense"... When he's on ice, you know someone will score, you just don't know which side.

From Moosehockey.ca


Kirill Koltsov
Kirill Koltsov was a Moose for a season and a half, during that time nobody questioned his offensive abilities, but his defensive skills were never his strength. Since leaving the Moose he has spent much time in his home Russia, and is finally a well-rounded hockey player. His season with Avangard Omsk just finished as his team was bounced in the 3rd round of the playoffs. He finished the regular season with 9 goals and 31 assists in 51 games. In the playoffs he had 3 goals and 3 assists in 11 games, both sets are respectable numbers. His best chance at cracking an NHL lineup is this upcoming offseason, he has stated before he will play in the NHL, he just does not know for which team. During his time in Russia he significantly improved his defensive prowess but whether or not it is enough to earn him a full-time gig in the NHL is yet to be seen. However many people believe if given an opportunity in the correct system (such as the Canucks) that his defensive liabilities will vanish considering there is so much emphasis on that very aspect of each players game. One thing that is certain right now, Koltsov is the considered the best defenseman currently playing in Europe, and those kinds of guys don't fall into your organization very often.

Just a note: the Kolstov article as well as all the other articles here(Link) were written by toxic.

Also, can someone provide a link/source regarding Kolstov?

Yes please. There's nothing on russianprospects.com or anywhere else I can find.
If he's not playing is it due to being cut? his own choice? injury?

Speaking of the draft, finally rankings are up:

http://cdn.nhl.com/f...skaters_num.pdf

I am surprised, but not really to see LOGAN COUTURE at #19. How do you go from the potential #1 in the draft to #19 just in NA.

BRANDON SUTTER at #28

Hehe. I thought he was more of Ohllie's son.

And as for Giants! Go Giants! Sweep em!

[timw33]

Sutter would be ranked 30th or 31st if Cherepanov, Anderson and Mayorov were included.

Looks like we'll have a good chance at Sutter, but then again, the 10-60th selections are all pretty even.

Sutter + Backlund or Moller = Happy.

[-mb]

Looks like there is still quite a good crop of players in the second round. Gillies dropped to #30 but that's not really a surprise. The first round pick is going to be a tough one for the scouting staff. Pretty much every player is a crapshoot.

I'm still pulling for the Canucks to draft Lars Eller.

So many players I want in that 25-35 spot....

Backlund
Anderson
Sutter
Moller
Eller
