2020 Draft - 4th Pick: Maxim Berezkin

[The Nuge]

Another wasted draft pick. I complain about them always picking guys from Alberta but you can't really blame them with how often they get burnt by these Russian picks.

He wasn’t going to make the team in the next two years so who cares? Let him develop in Russia and then bring him over in a couple years when he’s close to ready

Hopefully he steps right onto the Oilers roster when his deal is up.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Capable of playing both wings and is 1-8-9, averaging 14 minutes of ice time with Yaroslavl.

Do the Oilers still see a role for him in the future?

He’ll probably get a contract at some point. Never know what you have with Russians until you see them over here.

Hopefully, it's not that often that you get a player with size and skill.

Yakimov, Slepychev, Birdosov

Honestly his offense isn't any better than last year. How's he play away from the puck and such?

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Yakimov, Slepychev, Birdosov

Yakimov skated like he was in quicksand, Slepyshev is or at least was a NHL level player, don't recall much of Birdosov.

Probably because Birdosov never existed.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

That will make it tough.

If you're not a Bird, you're a Zhark-ov

 

[LTIR]

Burdasov must show Oilers he wants to be NHL player, not just make NHL money – Sportsnet.ca

There was some hype around him the one preseason where we should have signed him

4gp 1g 3a so far. If this kid has the tools and skills for the NHL, I hope he chooses to come over.

have you seen the games or are you going off of the stats? I am not a fan of the KHL and there is some very bad teams in the KHL where other teams walked over

Former OIler D man Marin Gernet is the team leader in pts with 2 goals 4 assists in 4 games

Did you miss the part where I said, "if?" Meaning, I have no f***ing clue and I hope someone does.

All I know about the kid is he keeps increasing his production.

The fact that Garnet is the top scorer on the team gives you some idea of what is going on

The irony of you basing this strictly on stats is tremendous.

 

[McTonyBrar]

wrong thread lol

 

[Jumptheshark]

I have seen KHL games (no in the last few years) but I have seen game in the league up close and personal,,,

Statement Garnet being the leading scorer says a lot is based upon how low I view the KHL

Ironic.

 

[KickHimPedro]

I don’t think irony means what you think it means.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Hes using the word properly.

You haven’t seen him play either so stfu

Its not a surprise that the local contrarian is in here to temper expectations.

 

[KickHimPedro]

Saying that stats in the KHL don’t mean a lot and proving this with the current stats leader (a low scoring defenseman) is not ironic in any way.

No irony there.

Ugh. When is summer over?

Yeah, a 5 game sample size.

It is ironic that he's coming at others for stat watching and questioning if they've watched the game, while also backing up his statement by stat watching.

That is ironic
