Prospect Info: 2024 2nd Overall - Artyom Levshunov

[CallMeShaft]

I'll predict this is the defense against the Avs

Vlasic Crevier
Edmonton Murphy
Martinez Levshunov

Martinez just makes too much sense being paired with Lev. He's a 3 time cup champ and NHL veteran who has played with a former 2nd overall RHD before. Plus, that pair can get some pretty easy minutes behind the others.

Well that settles it then. Fire Davidson.

I don't know how you got that from what I said.

Interesting tidbit..I have a buddy that played/coached/scouted at a high level and is a season ticket holder in Rockford. I asked him about Levshunov and he said "he is a goalies nightmare"...I replied that I didn't know he was that impressive offensively and he says "No, he is your own teams goalie nightmare...turns pucks over...not physical...out of position...no clue what he is doing out there...massive defensive liability....not close to being ready for NHL."

Take that for what its worth.

I’m sure he will have a lot of detractors. His bad plays will be egregious, and whoever doesn’t evaluate him as a total package but focuses on single mistakes instead will have a lot to chew on. I can already picture a few of the negative nellies from here doing that.

I really hope he’s going to turn much better than Seth Jones, but I can see him becoming some kind of scapegoat too because the nature of his mistakes will make him an easy target.
