Maybe it's about giving the kids the funding to only worry about development? Do they get that ELC money right away? Or just after they turn pro? Just curious, certainly not trying to argue or hate on the kid. 8 hours ago, Kootenay Gold said: I agree that we were not about to lose him and think it was more a combination of Clarke really liking him, wanting him to come over to play in N.A. and providing him with the capital to do that. My understanding is that he would receive the signing bonus of 85k right away even though he is playing in juniors and that would have helped him greatly in making the move across the pond. 8 hours ago, Kosmo Kramer said: Makes sense. Heck yeah 85k would be huge for these kids. Gentelmen Hes europian.... They sign him so he cant sign a pro contract in Europe or Russia......guys close to a pro level are very much in danger of being poached by those leagues. If not signed.... the nhl remains a dream... and the employment opportunities in the leagues over there are very real and pay the Bill's now Last thing we need is the kid turn Into a phenom.... we need him and hes under contract to some khl or tier 1 swedish/finish team for another 4 years.

The guy did a huge sales job for Silovs, and for himself. I am however impressed with how things played out. Props to Silovs and his agent for pushing HARD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenAlien Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Silovs stops 35 of 38 and both shootout attempts. He's now 3.07 GAA and 0.905 SV% in 9 games -- top 10 in both stats among OHL goalies who have played at least 3 games. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kootenay Gold Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Another great game from Silovs today. Named the 1st star and stopped 37 of 38 shots for a .974 save percentage in Barrie's 5 -1 win over Flint. Can't wait to see how this kid performs over the rest of the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Unfortunately since my last posting back in November; Silovs game has gone downhill. Not sure for the reason but do wonder if Barrie's goal tending coach, Billy Smith, is a good choice for the style of play that goaltenders use now. Do we have a few goaltenders here on CDC that have any thoughts on this? I would love to see the young man get his game back that he had at the start of the season as he was looking like a steal of a pick for a 6th rounder.

Kootenay Gold Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) I really don't think Billy' s game style from the 80's translates well to the modern game. It could be a wasted year for him if he is coaching him that way. I have not seen any of the games live so do not know if that is the case but I do wonder.

To be fair, just because a goalie played a certain way (in the 80's no less) doesn't mean they coach to play that same way, today. I doubt he'd even have a job in that case. Techniques, positioning etc change and develop over time and coaches generally keep up with those changes and coach those... Not how they played 30+ years ago.

Hard to say if it is Silovs, the coaching, the play of the team or a combination of any or all of the three. I just hope that it gets figured out soon and his play starts to progress in a more positive direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
