The kid doesn't look small and his skating doesn't appear to be a hindrance. He's got some skill to flash and a wicked looking shot. I'm excited to see what he can do this season, hopefully move up for a stint in the KHL for some more seasoning...

If we look solely at regular season stats...yeah, it can't be criticized...but playoffs stats? Also, he's not pencilled to go KHl next year...so tough to find even any U20 that succeeded in the VHL for 2 years in a row that became more than that.

LIke people said....just a 7th rounder. Though, our 4th line C is a 7th rounder. And so is our 2nd goalie....

As some said...good bet to take. Surely better than a Middlestadt pick who had no upside.

are we ready for the gazillion sarcasms about the Q players invited to the camp, the Q medias, and the Q staff / ex-staff, even in this Makar Khani's thread ?

I hope one day I see what they saw in Khanin. I would have went with Tanner Adams at that spot. A september 2nd born, with 21 points in the NCAA...type of guy that will be the hot commodity in 3 years as free agent...

Going back to Khanin, I don't see a NHL'er. Don't see the implication. Yes, you see the skills. But hockey is so much more than that.

When they were talking about Khanin in the meetings shown in the draft video, Chris Boucher was saying that according to the data, Khanin has the profile of a 4th round pick, and they took him in the 7th. He did have 27 pts in 35 GP in the VHL and 9 pts in 7 GP in the MHL.

They took the skills and see if a hockey player emerges. That's what we've been asking for 7th round scratch tickets.

It's not Ryan Johnson.

on the prospect board the Russian mod is saying Khanin has re-signed with his KHL club on a 1 year deal. His contract was set to be up at the end of this upcoming season.
Not exactly actually, I was saying more that if previously he was signed to a VHL contract with Dynamo St.Petersburg, now it looks like he has signed with KHL's Dynamo Moscow (yet there's an affiliation agreement with Dynamo St.Petersburg, so likely he will still play there at least for now).

That's usually what I do as well.....but to me skills means more than just dangling pucks. I've seen 2 entire preseason games so far...and that's all I see.

Right now, my late draft rounds pick would be filled with goalies, injured players or late-born. 3 scenarios where eclosion could happen yet no numbers enough to be picked before.

That's also why Filip Eriksson was a great pick. Skills were there and was injured most of the year.

Anyway, we will see.

*for a second game in a row, Khanin was dressed for the KHL team Dynamo Moscow and played 0 minutes. Not sure I understand the point of this.*

____________________________________________

Prospects in action today (Oct. 22nd):

- Konyushkov @ 12:30PM ET

KHL teams have to dress a number of u20, they don't have to play them. Khanin is a number.
