Hahaha, yea, I think he'll be okay. If Bardakov can come over and be a bit like Ivan/Kovalenko but a more certain center-version of that, our bottom-6 is going to be a pain in the ass to play against.

Curran is still also super young, too. He turned 18 just 3 months ago. Going PPG in the Dub as an 18 year old is pretty damn decent.
I was trying to hold back on Curran, but fk it I'm very high on him. He's at 1.1 PPG at the moment he started out very slow and has been moved around from C to W he has started showing more since i hope he can get up near 1.25-1.45 PPG. I honestly have him tied #2 prospect with Guly and Nabokov
Could he grow even taller?!

Break out the Russian enticement powder!
I thought I saw or heard something they were trying to do a 1 year extension. Also thought it was close at one point this season. Definitely not good news until we get answers in net that don’t involve waiting on him.

No idea I saw it on puckempire IG. Hired as a development coach for Oshawa

Prishchepov drops a hat trick in the Eagles win tonight. Making a good case to be called up again.

Very nice post and in on the 1st, loved the "Mikko baby stick" on the 2nd, and cool to see the teammate tell him to go for it on the ENG (the anti-greedment insurance).

Prish goes to the net like Nuke does, hopefully he can keep doing that in the NHL as he develops

Biggest reason I'm not banging the table right now for Prischepov to be in the lineup is that at 20 years old, he's still got some development runway.
It might be best for him to finish the season in the AHL playing major minutes and then join the Avs as an extra for the playoffs.

Then he can use playoffs atmosphere as more learning.

Unless Beds actually gives Prisch a chance to succeed, keep him in the AHL

I don't feel like Bednar has been holding him back while he was up here. He isn't ever going to be an offensive cog, his NHL career will be as a bottom sixer who forechecks, wins board battles, and probably kills penalties. And aside from the PK part (which would be a very tall ask at this point) that's exactly the role Bednar used him in.
The argument for him in the AHL is to try to develop more of a well-rounded offensive game in him. But Bednar has given him nothing if not a crash course in how he's going to win an NHL paycheck this year.
