2012 CHL Import Draft

[vorky]

Koys is small(he is not 6´0 at all, he is like 5´9 in reality), soft, not great skater.

This. Almost everyone who saw him live, including myself, say his biggest weakness is skating.

Draft position doesn't really matter in the long run. Look at Marek Tvrdon; the Red Wings picked him in the 4th round and he probably should have gone late first, early second, but he lost most of the previous season to injury. That's what's happening with Frk.

Koys likely won't be a top 15 pick, but even as a late first/ second round pick has a decent shot at being a productive NHLer and he's still almost certain to go #1 in the import draft.

What makes you say this?

Nichuskin says that he wants to come over.

which in reality doesn´t mean that much. Jiri Drtina was No 1 pick in Import draft in the past as well as Latvian D Agris Saviels...

Marko Dano considere WHL, but decided to stay in Europe. Now he will consider Slovan Bratislava´s offer (KHL), which drafted him.

 

[vorky]

Koys said it is not likely he comes over next season. He should stay at home.

 

[Bure]

Nichuskin says that he wants to come over.

Link?

Here's n interview with him. It's in russian.

Nichushkin said that he likes to play on smaller rinks, he has some offerings from north american teams and wants to come over to play in Canada.

Hopefully that awesome name of his will help making up for missing size.

Koys said it is not likely he comes over next season. He should stay at home.

Why? His development seems to be stagnant in Slovakia. Unless he goes to Sweden or the Czech Republic he should be coming to the CHL ASAP.

oh. my. god.

oh. my. god.

Why that?

Why that?

I'm just shocked the Wildcats pulled off the trade.

Import picks have less value than midget draft picks.

Last year:

To Quebec: 2nd overall pick (import),

To Rouyn-Noranda: 11th overall pick, 2nd round pick 2014 and 3rd round pick 2013 (midget)

 

[SergeConstantin]

According to Stephane Leroux from RDS, the deal for the 1st overall pick will be:

1st pick 2013, 3rd and 4th picks 2012 (all midget draft picks)
G - Jack Flinn

vs

1st overall import pick

 

[JeromeHP]

Per Stephane Leroux of RDS



Moncton would choose one of Ivan Barbashev & Valeri Nichuskin

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

So does Sherbrooke not think a talented Euro would play for them or something?

hard to get a quality euro to commit to an expansion team

1st pick 2013, 3rd and 4th picks 2012 (all midget draft picks)

Steep price from Sherbrooke....

Atleast their gaining picks.

For some reason, this kid claims both London and Barrie have expressed interest. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=105736

Can anyone give me some insight? I mean, I know who the kid is, he's from a town 50kms away, but I really can't see LONDON drafting a total shot in the dark like him.
He was over in TO last summer for some camps/whatever.

He's not even eligible for this year's draft as it's only '95s and older.

Report from inside source in Moncton, Valery Nichushkin will be the guy. Also saw rumors that Oscar Dansk will go to Windsor, Vasilevski to Saint John, Korpisalo to London and Kubalik to Gatineau. I guess Erie will take one of Serebryakov and Filonenko and Dikushin will play for Saint John...
