Ok

 

[MasterMatt25]

Great name. Know nothing of his game though

 

[Seb]

That kills the rumor the Habs won't have anything to do with Russians.

 

[JadedRandom]

I like this pick. We take a chance on a player that is already somewhat established in the KHL and could help us sooner rather than later.

 

[Loop25]

A midget overager. Gonna make the team b4 Reinbacher

 

[Lucky Luke]

Another defenceman?

[JeffreyLFC]

I have no clue about him so I expect him to become the next superstar.

 

[Habsfan18]

5’7, 20 years old. Will be 21 in December..

[26Mats]

So much for the Russian factor theories

 

[The Great Weal]

That kills the rumor the Habs won't have anything to do with Russians.

It is only the good Russians we don't take. I hope that clears up any confusion.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Yearly WhoDaFIsThat pick

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

25 pts in 64 games for a 20 year old dman in the khl is good

 

[Player 61]

Seems to be a playoffs performer.

 

[Loop25]

Lol, NHL states he is 5'7 but Elite says he is 5'11

 

[26Mats]

5’7, 20 years old..

5'11

Turning 21 at the beginning of the hockey season.

 

[MasterMatt25]

25 points in 64 games in the KHL as a defenseman. Thats not bad

 

[Tuggy]

We'll see...

 

[Scotianhab]

20 year old midget D. Just trade these picks for 2024 picks if they’re not going to take them seriously.

 

[frapp10]

No idea who this guy is but solid points for a 20 year old in the KHL

 

[BLNY]

20 or not, 25 points in 64 games in your first year in the KHL is nothing to sneeze at.

 

[Nevins]

Great stats for a 20 years olld defenseman in the KHL

Bogdan Konyushkov - Defense - Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod (KHL)​

When a player is undrafted a couple of times already and is in his last year of draft eligibility, it takes something special for him to finally get noticed. If we look at the basic stat line it looks good, but not too special for defenseman Bogdan Konyushkov, which is likely the reason there isn’t much mainstream talk about him outside of Russia, yet even just pure stats can be more interesting if we look at those closer and at the right angle. First thing that stands out in case of Konyushkov is that despite his age he made his KHL debut just this season and actually led his KHL team in average ice time, as his cerebral game on both ends convinced coach Igor Larionov to immediately give him an opportunity for a leading role on the team. And if we look at advanced stats, those are telling that this trust paid off really well, as Konyushkov is among the league’s leaders in both completed pass amount and percentage, as well as in the puck battle win percentage — quite a debut season I’d say. As a bonus Konyushkov is right handed, just in case if everything described above isn’t convincing enough yet about him potentially being a very intriguing prospect for the coming draft.

 

[calder candidate]

Going to call it right now like like I did with Connor Crisps awful pick…

Even if is good he would have been available later there and someone draft with a few pick will blow up…

 

[bleuetbio]

statwise he did the same than former 1st rounder Shakir Mukhmukh island
