A post in another thread mentions Ilya Fedotov having his KHL Contract terminated because he refused an assignment to the VHL.

Is he still on the radar for Utah or has the club moved on from him (They theoretically hold his NHL rights indefinitely)?
 
Folks might not know it yet but I think you have a special player here with Tomas Lavoie. I’ve seen plenty of top flight defencemen in my time watching the Q and Tommy Utah is right up there with the best I’ve seen.

6’4 215+ pounds, munching 25+ minutes a night, nearly PPG in his 18 year old season in the Q is quite rare.

Projects to me as a top 4 dman with PP2 duties or potentially even PP1. He’s the full package, there’s a reason he went 1st overall in his Q draft year.

Care to contrast him with Lamoureux? It might help get us far away fans more excited.

That’s a good question - Lavoie has better natural offensive instincts in my estimation and I’m not sure what his offensive ceiling actually is, he’s shown a very vertical progression in terms of point product this season compared to last. I was a big fan of Lamoureux especially his WJC play and I could see Lavoie following a very similar developmental path.

He has that rare combination of elite skating, offensive instincts & size to back it up. It isn’t often that he has a bad game, very consistent & always just seems to make the right play with the puck.

He’s racking up 3-4 point nights with regularity here, bomb of a shot, sneaky good pass and seems to just anticipate where the puck will be a step or two faster than most players in the Q.

I suspect he’ll be on team Canada at the world juniors next year.

Right after the news spread about his contract termination Russian media said that "he will continue the season in the AHL", but nothing has happened so far AFAIK
