Vermette9 Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 11 minutes ago, Alflives said: Yes, but likely that’s too big of a step from where he was playing. Hoping he goes to the Q, because he will dominate that league. He's too good for the q. That won't teach him the defensive side of the game or playing against men to fast track his development. The q is the worst league for development. He needs to come to Abby/ sent to ECHL (if there is one) or the khl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering he already has a man's body, it really doesn't make a lot of sense for him to be playing with boys at this point. I'd much rather see him in Abbotsford next year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd like to see him percolate in the KHL for a couple of years like Podz. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd like to see him percolate in the KHL for a couple of years like Podz. His development would be much more closely monitored here though. If he’s not ready for a big role he could start with soft minutes. In the KHL he may just get buried behind a bunch of veterans and may not get any ice time. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd like to see him percolate in the KHL for a couple of years like Podz. There's no reason why he couldn't be given sheltered minutes to start with. That said, I could see him in the KHL too. It would certainly be better for his development to play in a high end men's league than junior, but with that said I don't really trust the KHL. Like with Podkolzin, I worry that his development might take a backseat in a league that knows they're going to lose him in a couple years. Or worse yet, they'd probably try to convince him to stay if he really breaks out. 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Looks like a very high ceiling if he can keep developing properly. Very good pick. I'd leave him in Russia for 2 seasons. Learn to play all facets of the game in his home country. Then bring him over to the AHL. Bring him along sliwly. Let him develop slowly and ripen properly. Could have a very good player in 3 or 4 yrs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure since he was drafted out of Europe he could technically play 1 year there and still go to the AHL at 19. I would skip the Q though, his game is already likely too refined for junior and he’s already got pro size. Much more valuable to have him training with pros and working out in pro facilities. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d scooter out to Abby to watch this kid play. Very exciting talent, and, like you point out, in a big body. We were lucky he made it to #41. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who know what kind of shenanigans he could get up to as an 18 year old in Quebec… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
