Yeah i remember seeing Kirill as the young stars, I first thought he was some 3rd year+ tryout or something due to his maturity and speed, and then was like WoW - its this dude who was a major late round pick. Could be we actually find a later round steal for the first time in decades ( that we don't trade of course ) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred65 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Rathbone had a trajectory similar. I tend to think how he shows in is first year as a pro will give every one a better judgement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is going to be tough for D that are primarily offensive to earn a spot in Vancouver - so long as Hughes is here - especially on the left side. Rathbone is kind of a poor man’s version of Hughes - if he doesn’t find a spot here, he may find one elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say no Kirill is like Tanev as far as player types go IMO. I watched about 4 of his games this year in the OHL and he was always the best dman on the ice. Rathbone has always been in amazing shape and very strong for his size. I hope that Kirill does as well as Rathbone has, and as you say Rathbone will land an NHL spot somewhere... Maybe not with us because of the fit with Quinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stierlitz Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Recent quotes from Chris Faber: - July 1st "After a strong season in the OHL, the 2022 seventh-round pick is poised to be one of the OHL’s top offensive producers from the backend this season. Kirill Kudryavtsev looked good at Canucks main camp last year and we expect him to be a strong candidate along with Willander and Pettersson as the top defenceman at development camp. Kudryavtsev has good pace and very high puck skills for a defenceman. He thinks the game at a high level and should be a part of the Abbotsford Canucks at the conclusion of his OHL season". - July 2nd "Kirill Kurdyavtsev looks bigger than we thought. He’s not the tallest player but he may be the widest. The kid is built like a Mini Cooper". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he’s built like Horvat. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or average size is a better way of putting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Regardless of size I think he's a bit of a forgotten man. Personally I think he's really going surprise a few people when he's finished in the OHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stierlitz Posted July 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2023 Chris Faber continues with his notes from the development camp today: "Kirill Kudryavtsev looks like he’s got a lot of confidence at this camp. He is at his best when the puck is on his stick and he may be the most consistent passer on the defence corps through the first two days. He is very good at receiving and passing pucks. There’s just a calmness to how he handles the biscuit". 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckwings Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 It's so good to hear promising things about our defensive prospects, especially a late round pick, something we haven't had under Benning's regime. He drafted Hughes but I'm not sure I would fully credit him for it because that was a result of other teams ahead of us passing on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to give credit when you draft a franchise dman at 7th overall. Same with a franchise center at 5th overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxVerstappen33 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) With some early results like this , you'd think has already made up some distance in a 2022 redraft. Would he go in the 2nd or 3rd round in a redraft? Yaroslavl produces a lot of NHL talent Edited July 7, 2023 by MaxVerstappen33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
