Wally is a gem man. What a good guy and he puts in so much work.

I think Lev is probably our PP QB of the future btw. His poise with the puck and ability to get shots through are just beyond what Korch has shown me.
I’m assuming he’s playing much better than what the stat sheet is showing?

Rockford kinda sucks so it's hard to say what works better. When Korch is putting up points there it's literally his gamesmanship doing the heavy lifting and he's been the guy on many shifts that I've watched which is still the minority. Korch is less predictable.

Lev is more like one of those guys who you know what they're gonna do and even though it's predictable they keep succeeding at it.

Personally, I think Korch's playmaking in the AHL has been pretty impressive given how mediocre and inconsistent the forward corps is in all zones. If he's behind players who own the game we'd get a better indication of his ceiling because he does a lot of killer things with no results.
 
sounded Like Arty had a few games this weekend when he looked better. that was just what I got from some twitter posts. did anybody watch?

I’ve been pleased with how he’s looked. You can definitely tell he’s learning and has made strides. Much more engaged in his own zone.

People who point watch will say he’s struggling but I would push back on that. The points will come if he keeps up the good habits. Next year will be a big year for him in Rockford.

I will say that the Hawks absolutely made the right call with Rockford v NCAA.
 
I was big on him on draft night. I would have thought he would have played better in Rockford this year / as I thought he was more physically developed than most D+ 1 players… Time will tell….

He’s only allowed to slide once on his ELC as he is a late b-day… His metre on his 3 year ELC will start ticking in 25/26.

Trade for Kuzmin AHL D-man (WPG Jet) a fellow Belarus 🇧🇾 player was interesting 🧐….

Correct, this is basically a free year, a development year so to speak because his ELC slides. Nice little win-win where you can get a guy into the system playing pro level hockey against a lot of fringe/borderline NHL types but not have to burn a year.

He should be in the AHL next year as well. The physical tools are certainly but I don't think this season is all that surprising. He's about what I predicted where after 20 games or so he's settled into being a pretty good AHL defenseman. It's been a big journey for him from Belarus to USHL to NCAA to AHL all over the last four seasons, so he can still sometimes be a bit raw in terms of how it all comes together. I think some stability in playing at the same level for a second year will help him out a lot.

He’s been pretty solid down there.
