JeremyCuddles Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Kid has some slick mitts. I am really liking this pick. And I was already on board with him yesterday. 1 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. The other big advantage, IMO, is that he will be getting top level coaching and guidance from both the big club and Abby if he is signed and plays in the AHL. He would also benefit from having Silovs on the Abby team and although Silovs is Lithuanian, he speaks Russian as well 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As another poster said, if he can play in the KHL, he can play in the AHL where they have full control of his development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season he played for "Minskie Zubry" club in the Belarus youth league, I would say this is equivalent of the Russian MHL. This is likely a big jump (like you said) for 18-year old prospect to get in the AHL right away... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have to throw him to.the wolves, they can ease him in........practice time, workouts, proper nutrition. Teach him how to be a pro now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but maybe he'd be more comfortable playing closer to home. Kid is just 18 years old. And being out of Vancouver's public eyes may again, be more beneficial. Lets be real, not many hockey fans are this dialed into players on their teams. Playing hockey spitting distance away from Vancouver, there's a lot of pressure there and fans are going to be watching for him. It's why I feel comfortable just letting him develop as a person and a player away from the scrutiny that playing in NA would come with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I'm for leaving him in the KHL over the QMJHL. If we can get him into the AHL that would be great. Just don't expect him to set the league on fire out of the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good points @rekkerI am sure that they will have that conversation with him and his family and try to figure out what path he and his family feel is best for him. The Canucks have done that with most of the prospects that they have interest in signing long before actually doing so. I guess we will just have to wait and see how it all plays out. 1 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. Yeah, but you're ignoring two things. 1) He's 18 years old and 18 year second rounders rarely, if ever, make a leap to the AHL in their first season after getting drafted. Nils Hoglander played in the SHL for a year and a half before making the leap to the Canucks last season. 2) Culturally, he may not be ready to make the leap. It's a tough adjustment going from Belarus to North America... let alone making the transition from playing in the Belarus minor leagues to the AHL, the second best league in North America. If he's making the jump over, let him play with peers of his age range in the QMJHL for a year before signing him. Again, there's no rush. He's also a very raw prospect. And though he has a high ceiling, he's still got a lot of time to develop. Rushing him won't help and the Canucks don't need to rush him. Don't forget, Kole Lind and Jonah Gadjovich both struggled out of the gate in the AHL level when they first showed up as 19 year olds and they were also second round picks. It took them a couple of seasons to figure it out. Could be the same thing for Danila and we don't need to worry about him having confidence issues now. Having him show up in Abbotsford in Fall of 2022 isn't going to be a bad thing. I just say let the kid play where he wants too. Also there's no need to burn a year or two of his ELC developing him in Abbotsford instead of letting him develop in the KHL or QMJHL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 (edited) Alright, I keep looking and I can't find it. I did some chores and I'm back. Did JB trade the fourth for another fifth or something? What picks do we have now? I'm confused. Edited July 24, 2021 by rekker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I feel comfortable just letting him develop as a person and a player away from the scrutiny that playing in NA would come with. of course it would be a mutual decision and only if heand his family think he's ready. Sounds like he's a very driven kid though and hard competitor.......those guys usually like to push themselves. I don't think the K is the right spot, but that's just me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Q is a bad developmental league IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
