Cheering for the guy to become the next Konstantinov.

That’s aiming high. He was one heck of a defenceman. 2nd in Norris voting in his final season (29 years old)

Not saying it will happen, it's just exactly what we need to boost our old slow defence.

I’m just hoping for an Emelin with a brain

I have no doubt that he will be at least that, and more.

You forget something, in his second season Emelin showed great things even as a somewhat able puck mover. He got serious injuries and it slowed him so much after...

IMO he looked like he had #3 D potential.

 

[Bergevillain]

Smart for her to lock him up before he signs his big contracts and moves to Montreal

Ever heard about Troy? It’s probably banned in Canada...

Let’s not forget we asked him to stop making so many game changing clean hits... He bought it.

Yeah I agree, this was also evident in his last year in the KHL

I will go on record and say this kid will be a norris candidates in a bit more then a few years.
For people that know me,i rarely through praise, but i did on draft night for this kid and do it again.
Oh did for suzuki after the trade and many called me out when he disappointed his first camp.

 

[ABR8185]

I can’t wait to see him play in the next training camp / pre season and so on. The kid has all the potential in the world.

 

[Belial]

He definitely has more offense in him than what he was allowed to show in the KHL.

Solid shot, nice play reading ability, good pass.

I think he'll be able to get more and more points with time as he gets more comfortable with the pace and tendencies in the NHL.

His skills are definitely underrated.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Agreed. The Emelin comparison was on draft day. He's more than that today. The kid is obsessed with Hockey and he has little to no flaws at the age of 20! It's OK to be happy Habs fans. Romanov is a good one! Same it factor as Subban (pre NHL). Yes, I said Subban!

Yes he's very charismatic like Subban, but much more team oriented.

Depends on how our dinosaur coach uses him. I think they shelter him and he will have to make them change their mind like Suzuki did this past year where we were forced to move him to center as the season went along. I can see Romanov being Weber's partner by the end of the next season. We will see

I agree he has more offensive skills than what people are trying to pin him down as. 30-40 pts once he gets his feet wet (full season) is not out of the question

 

[Habs Halifax]

Subban was team oriented (pre NHL) as well. When Stardom hit him, he changed. I just see that confidence and little flaw to Romanov's game like I seen with Subban before he made the NHL.

#Bergevin-PressConference(20/10/05):Romanov

“He'll be the one to decide with the way he plays... If we see he's more comfortable and helps the team more on the right, we've left-shooting defensemen. If he performs better on the left, we've some good right-shooting players like Fleury, Juulsen (who was hurt, we know, but came back healthy). We've options...”

 

[Roadhouse]

Didn't think they were too far off.

So joining the roster this year --> Mr. Anderson & The Russian Neo. Though that's from Point Break obviously.

Weber is the only one who might be considered a slower dman and he is still faster than Markov was for the last 5 years of his career.
