Haven’t seen it brought up yet, but Galimov is on fire in the KHL right now, top 10 in scoring and pacing for 73 in 67 right now. May have found a gem with what was the first Russian pick in a while for us lol

I'll be honest, it would shock me if he ever came over and played a minute for anaheim.Haven’t seen it brought up yet, but Galimov is on fire in the KHL right now, top 10 in scoring and pacing for 73 in 67 right now. May have found a gem with what was the first Russian pick in a while for us lol

His deal runs out this year, but there’s no telling how PV feels about him or how he will feel about him if he continues to have a good year. But, if he likes him and he wants to try NA, could be an interesting player competing for next season’s roster
from ep rinkside
September 29th’s game against the Kelowna Rockets was a perfect example of Smith’s growth. He picked up 11 retrievals and completed seven controlled exits under pressure without turning the puck over, both leading the game by large margins. Last season, he would throw pucks away under pressure. Now, he’s drawing defensive pressure to pass through it, finding quick escapes while absorbing contact, and using the middle of the rink more often.
As often happens with Anaheim Ducks prospects, Smith has also become a punishing defender. He’s far more physical than before, looking to make contact with everyone who enters his space and even going out of his way to level opponents. If Smith keeps this up, he will become a top prospect.
Tarin Smith, D, Everett Silvertips (Anaheim Ducks)
Last season, Tarin Smith landed inside our second round because of his skill level. In his best outings, he was dynamic from the point. This season, he’s elevated that offensive impact—currently leading all WHL defencemen with eight points in four games—while dramatically improving the rest of his game.September 29th’s game against the Kelowna Rockets was a perfect example of Smith’s growth.

Noted leading into the draft that Smith had some raving reviews from some of the more respected WHL prospect watchers. There was a repeated sentiment that he was a favourite prospect in the class outside of what was considered the top guys. Not exactly even sure what question mark(s) could have pushed him outside the top two rounds but damn the early returns are making it look like yet another D prospect robbery
Also really cool that Smith was Glen Cochrane's last guy he planted his flag in. It would be cool if Smith was special.
