Im not sure if this is considered a good thing unless I’m misunderstanding? They have no intention of keeping him in Russia? Why? It doesn’t say he wants to come, it says they aren’t keeping him.
Clearly they can't wait to get rid of him.No, they don't want to block someone from going to the NHL and aren't interested in being a barrier to having them live that dream.
They just named him captain lol.
Ok. It sounded kind of weird.No, they don't want to block someone from going to the NHL and aren't interested in being a barrier to having them live that dream.

Konyushkov signed a 3 years extension last July, they meant that they won't try to keep him after those 3 years.Im not sure if this is considered a good thing unless I’m misunderstanding?

Just what we need lol another defenseman.
He can go to LAVAL and slot behind mailloux i guess. He is a RD i believe
From the little I seen, he has more offensive upside than Harris for sure.Ok. It sounded kind of weird.
Hopefully he can acclimate to NA. Not sure what his style is. Is he another Harris?

Harris with more offence perhaps.
Captains are replaceable.No, they don't want to block someone from going to the NHL and aren't interested in being a barrier to having them live that dream.

At 21 years old, he's captain of Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod. Looks like Torpedo is a middle ground team, 3rd in their division, ~10th overall in the league. I think he plays the most minutes per game for them too. From the stats I can see in the KHL, he's 12th overall in defenseman points. There's only 2 other defensemen 21 or under in the top-50 for KHL defensemen scoring, and they both have 7-10 less points than him. If you look at the defensemen producing more than him, all of them are in their late 20s or early 30s with the exception of Ryan Merkley who fizzled out as a NHL prospect due to his inability to defend, and Alexander Nikishin who I believe some analysts believe is one of the best players in the world outside of the NHL.Anyone can tell if that's impressive, rare, etc?

You’ve just described Parekh.it's good but not rare plus there's talk of the league being weaker due to the situation in Russia.
He's going to need to get stronger and bulk up as he has that Jordan Harris like frame but with good offensive skills as he can move the puck from what i've seen but he's not strong or physical so he's going to have some troubles in his own end in the NHL. But he's got a couple years to work on things.
