They must be at least 18 years old, that's all. @Stierlitz is it a big jump from where he was playing last year to the AHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Danila, thought we drafted a female for a second. This pick sounds promising. I just wish we had more picks this draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kootenay Gold Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Alflives said: Thanks! Sounds like the guy is interested in coming to play here, or the Q team wouldn’t have used an import selection on him. I hope he does, because I see him dominating. Easily score 50. I wonder if the Canucks can use some financial leverage (incentive) to entice the Quebec team that drafted him to trade his rights to one of the WHL teams out West? It would be preferable, IMO, to have him play in an English speaking area of Canada and it is not a slap to Quebec if that is what some are thinking, but it would be easier for him to learn just one new language for now instead of two.

He probably ends up in the Q, but I feel that would be a step down for him........playing against kids after playing against men. Regardless of the talent level, playing against men is always tougher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just bring him straight to Abby and develop him as a pro.so he's ready to graduate to the NHL by 20-21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not play for CHL team and does not have contract there, that means he is drafted in the NHL from Europe. The AHL rule about 20 years old minimum applies to players drafted by the NHL from CHL, which is not the case. 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I know its really early I have only seen a few u18 games where Kuzmin had the majority of my attention. But if his shot is legit (looks legit) and his motor is as advertised. I wonder if he could one day replace Miller in that Quasi C/LW on Pete's wing. It's pretty pie n the sky but maybe?

My thought was that if you were drafted by a CHL team you were ineligible, but it kind of looks like you had to be drafted "out" of the CHL, otherwise you're eligible. OJ a case in point.......he was an import player, but was already playing in the CHL when he was drafted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 2 minutes ago, DeNiro said: So he could potentially play in Abby next season? He's picking between playing in the QMJHL (where he was drafted in the import draft by the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies) or Dinamo Mink (Belarus's KHL team). I don't expect to see him signed by Vancouver for at least a year, if not two. No need to rush Danila. He needs development time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not my understanding regarding a player drafted directly from Europe who has never played in NA before but I'm not 100% on this technicality.

Popular Post DeNiro Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 Wow what a great player to start a franchise with if he comes over. If he likes playing heavy the AHL is a great league to develop those skills. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wants to come over to North America the AHL would be a much better challenge than the Q. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
