Time for me again...
Where are we in the Konyushkov is a top 4 NHL'er and our most underrated prospect? All that icetime and such a bad statssheet?
Do your thing Kony.

Not that I think he's our most underrated prospect or even that he'll be a top 4, but have you watched him play or are you familiar with who they've added/removed from the team in the past 2 years or are you strictly looking at the stats?
To my understanding, he's focused on playing a more defensive role this year since Slava Voynov joined the team.

Haven't watched Konyushkov that much, but from what I saw I'd say he's been more of less the same as last year, just more snake-bitten.
He generated some nice chances against Magnitogorsk the game I saw, with nothing in the way of stats to show for it.
But Konyushkov exhibited some nice poise under pressure, executed breakouts quickly, and overall just played a quiet yet effective game as he often did last year.
I did not see him make any egregious mistake, nor miss his coverage in any clearly noticeable way.
Don't know if Konyushkov'll ever be a good NHL defenseman given his frankly quite middling size/strength/skating combo and lack of any elite skill, but I like him.

To me, he's a safe, pass first prospect. I don't see any elite qualities. A time and dozen type of players that since they are euros, could probably try out there, but will eventually go back.
Let,s be honest, what struck us last year was the offensive game he was bringing. Without that, he becomes another fine d-man.

So you changed your opinion of him based off the first couple weeks of the season? Do you think he has less offensive skill then you thought he had last year?

Demidov is a HAB
Voynov is injured (played only 10 games).
No D has really been producing on that team though.

Yeah it seems like no defenceman is really producing at a high level with Torpedo, except maybe Voynov. Konyushkov is being played the most though - their number 1 it seems.

I'm still high on Konyushkov. He'll mature in the KHL and come over when the Habs need him in 2-3 years.
Thank you.. somebody's been following
Even if he is a number 5 or 6... I believe that as well

Any news on how BK played yesterday vs Demidov? It's good they got to see both kids in the same game.

It is Bogdan's birthday today as he turns 22
Doubtful as he has a contract for next season and there hasn't been a lot communication between him and the Habs management.
His contract technically ends in 2026 so no, but the KHL has a rule where you can buyout the last year of the contract, so it's not impossible.
If he use the buyout option, we will know around May-June if I remember right when that window open.
That would require him to buyout his last contract year.
We do know he talked about coming to development camp this summer so who knows?

Would be great if he was fine with starting out in the AHL, I had always figured he'd only come over if an NHL spot were a given. I wonder if the habs brass are extra motivated to have another russian or two around demidov to help him acclimatize next year.

Not really they added Voynov so he gets less offensive opportunities. He turned 22 today so still very young for a dman.
