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?

Any input on how Konyushkov is doing this year? Should his decline in production be concerning?

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.

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.
