He actually played games (3) as a 17 year old. They are known for their player development and competitive culture. He is the youngest player on the team. It may not be ideal, but by their willingness to shuttle him between their 3 leagues (teams) I think they are trying to help his development. It would be like a 17/18 year old playing in the AHL. He is playing against men already. I am not worried about his development but I am also not expecting him to be an impact player for at least 2-3 years like any other 18 year old. They recognize and develop good players it seems. That is BS. No young player develops playing 1:30 of ice time and bouncing around leagues and teams every few games. They know he is NHL bound and could give a rats ass about his development as it doesn’t benefit them at all. Hopefully he can get out of his contract after this season as some have theorized is possible. At least he had the tourney ahead to hopefully get some meaningful games and minutes for a few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in the KHL is like saying he's NHL ready now. He's pretty much playing in their "AHL". He's getting some spot time on the junior team though. They don't feel he's quite ready to be in the top men's league, but want to give him some experience. The reason this works in this situation is because their KHL/VHL/MHL teams are very close together. So he isn't really "bouncing" around, but trying to get the best of all worlds. He's going to be a key figure for their international teams, so it's important that they develop him in what they feel is the best way regardless if he stays in the KHL or not. So while he's not getting big minutes in the KHL now, he's getting the minutes closer to where he should be in terms of development for a recently turned 18 year old. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stierlitz Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Watching the game... The time difference is clearly affecting the Russian players: 4pm PST = 2am in Moscow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Podkolzin was one of the players at fault for Q's first goal in my opinion. He just had a big shift with a couple of nice passes and a nice hit on a big d-man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stierlitz Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 No surprise that the best Russian players today are the ones currently playing in the QMJHL - Zavgorodny, Khovanov, Sokolov - they don't need to adjust to the different time zone. Other players just clearly don't have much energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
