His KHL contract goes through next year. He’s not getting that terminated to go to the AHL.

The way he plays reminds me so much of Guentzel. Like it's uncanny how good both are at finding the soft areas on the ice.

Ok so we get Russian defender uberprospect next season, and then potential Russian scoring uberprospect the following season.
I mean, not bad for a franchise that supposedly needs to blow it up, according to the national media

Really see signs of Guentzel as a comparison in terms of being able to find himself in the right spot to be able to capitalize. If he gets a chance to play in our top 6 with other skill players he’ll feast.

Maybe the front office knew what they were doing after all? Pay 30 year old Guentzel until he's 38 or pay 18 year old Russian Guentzel and have him in his prime.

He's still several years out though. 2 more years before he can even be here. I'm for an extended window though. I just wish we could get these guys at 21 not 23 or 24

That is part of why we're able to draft these players where we do though. All the Russian prospects we've drafted the last several years are considerably better prospects than their draft positions suggest. The league is just hesitant to draft them based on their talent and is impatient. Glad we're able to take advantage of it and get guys like Nikishin and Arty
There was rumors he could be here next season.
sorry, but neither helps us life the cup this year so this is an abject failure by the front office. that's what i learned at the tdl.

His KHL team is not great so I could see an agreement to terminate his contract early. I just see that doubtful if the plan is to put him in the AHL instead of the NHL next year.

I mean, he could also come over and just make it impossible for us to play him at the AHL level next year during preseason camp, like Jarvis did. If he's as good as advertised, I wouldn't be shocked to see him find a place right away should he find a way to terminate his contract.

To be fair we've thrown a lot of Russian darts over the last 5 drafts and Nikishin and Artamonov are our only (presumably) big hits so far. Ponomarev maybe but we drafted him out of the QMJHL although he did spend a little time in Russia after that. I guess a lot of these Russian picks were long term prospects anyways so maybe 5 years is too soon to review.
Edit: Oh and Kotchetkov can't believe I almost forgot.
