Erik Karlsson Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 He still looks like he needs to go through puberty haha. I think he'll likely grow another inch and add about 20 pounds by the time he's in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 ...Well if he stays the same size, he can go 5 hole by skating the puck between the legs on the six and half foot goalies in today's NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I keep saying he's a puck hound. His game is better suited for our ice and style of play. How heavy do you think he'll need to get to in order to succeed in the NHL? I think he's only about 160 to 170 . The BaZhukinov don't care about weight- he gonna knock em all down anyways!

Nave Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Zhukenov is definitely hitting puberty late. Hit the weights boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aqua59 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Will he be at this years camp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Will he be at this years camp? Doubt it, but there is always the possibilty he will be in Pentiction. 70 points and i'll call it a very successful season for Zhukenov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Doubt it, but there is always the possibilty he will be in Pentiction. 70 points and i'll call it a very successful season for Zhukenov for sure 70 would be great I think for a 4th rounder playing his first year in NA, PPG is about as good as you can hope. To even get an invite to Russias WJC camp would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crunchy the Tiger Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 (edited) He still looks like he needs to go through puberty haha. I think he'll likely grow another inch and add about 20 pounds by the time he's in the NHL. Why would you think this ? Do you know his families bloodline & genealogy ?

That is obviously true, but projecting players based on intangibles is pretty difficult. At least we can get idea of his comparables based on team point percentage, and 5v5 vs PP points.

That's true, but plenty of guys put up big numbers in junior, and then their office does not translate (Hodgeson). If they don't have the defensive concepts, especially as a centre, they go poof.

cyoung Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Would love it if he made the NHL this year. Next Gaudreau imo I really hope this is a joke. Watch him play in any men's league he struggles. He needs ALOT of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old was Johnny Hockey last year, 22? Zhuk, has A LOT (two words, just saying) of growing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Karlsson Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Why would you think this ? Do you know his families bloodline & genealogy ? Because I don't know any men who look like they're ten years old.... It's obvious he has a lot of maturing to do, there's no way he stays that small for the rest of his life... Some guys mature at age 16, some not till 23, he looks like a late bloomer. By the time he's fully filled out, I'm sure he would have added atleast 15-25 pounds. Whether he gets taller or not doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
