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.
