I guess SKA is trying to get their money's worth out of Nikishin in his last season in the KHL, almost 30 minutes of TOI in a regular season game lol.

ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO VOMIT ON SIGHT IN CASE OF PETERSBURG LOGO.

Oskar Vuollet logged zero points in 15 games in the SHL last season.
Now he has scored three goals in three games. And current game isnt over. (two goals tonight so far)). Getting bigger role this year, including PP icetime.

we wanted to make sure he fell to the 5th round by asking his team to styme his playing time

Hehe. Seriously though, it was a nice pick. Ive got insights to swedish prospects only, and Vuollets ceiling is far higher than several swedish forwards drafted ahead of him in 2024. Not a lock for making the NHL but I have no problem dubbing him a 2nd roundish level prospect. I¨ll come back with high lights from tonights game.

And there he scored his third goal of the evening.

Can you access these videos from tonights game?
Bullit Vuollet or should I say Woolly Bully, is yellow jersey #27.

(on the last clip you also see why Canes 6th round pick of 2018, Jesper Sellgren never got signed, Red jersey #3, losing the puck to Vuollet)

Vuollet returning to locker room after the postgame interviews. (you probably need facebook acount to see the clip)

Yeah, this describes a lot of our interactions on HFB, to be honest

That locker room is smaller than a beer league room, Jesus

I wonder if NHL teams were a little scared off that Artamonov extended with his KHL club for 2 years before the draft.

I'm sure there are plenty of teams that are and we've obviously been more than willing to take advantage of what we hope is a market inefficiency. There's always the possibility a guy never comes over or that you have to wait a while, but it's a second rounder. You shouldn't really be expecting a quicker return than a couple of years anyway.

Washington certainly used that strategy to good effect in building a Russian pipeline with Semin, Ovie, Orlov, Kuznetzov, Samsonov, Varlamov, etc, often with later picks like we've had. Philly seems to also be heading in this direction a bit. I think it makes sense for us to keep trying the same given that we have later picks and we have two Russian players like Svech and Koch that should be key pieces for a while, we should have Nikishin coming, we treated Kuzy well, we've had Orlov, etc.

If this pick pans out other teams won't be as scared anymore, maybe.
