Scouts get it wrong all the time. Even the consensus. Nolan Patrick was ahead of Cale Makar on every list.

What are you going to do?
You take Patrick, get it wrong and move on. It sucks but everyone was wrong and you played the odds. Better that than being wrong betting on the low percentage. Because that way you’ll be wrong more often.

You act like there's a massive difference in the odds between the picks you're talking about. There's not. That's just not how it works. They are all low percentage after a certain point.

You know this is how cheap organizations run and it does not result in things. Like, relying on non-staffed scouts opinions as if they are the ultimate judgers, is not some slam dunk like you're acting. It's really putting this assumption on, these are the consensus right picks... based on a bad premise.

If Lev/Demidov becomes a Makar/Patrick, I’ll be the happiest. But until proven otherwise, I am expecting

Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see but unfortunately I think most people would put their money on Demidov having the better career. I really hope most people are wrong and don’t think I’ll be rooting for Demidov to prove my point. I’ll be the happiest if Levshunov comes out on top.

I’m not saying that they should follow the mass and make their decisions based upon that. What I’m saying is that from an external point of view, it worries me that their evaluation differs from what the majority of the experts see.

there was some rumors the the Russian scout and KD were higher on DEMI then Lev but all the other scouts were higher on LEV then Demi probably mostly because they saw him live. my question is not about if LEV will be good. I think his natural talents will make him a NHL player. Just feel like his easy going makeup means he is going to be more of a middle pairing guy Compared to a ultra competitive type. keith Teows ETC. at #2 I want someone with more of killer instinct. I think Lev turns out to be jones level D. not a #1 maybe a 2/3 type.

Not saying he isn’t an a great prospect, but the average 5/6 NHL defenseman gums up that rush at the line.
Sure but for KHL defenders you could do worse than Nesterov. Also like.. it’s not like there aren’t worse guys in the AHL or CHL or wherever a prospect could be playing in D+1

Kantserov has scored again. This time on a breakaway 41 seconds into the game.

EDIT: Change khl website video to x/twitter



I'd like to see Kantserov play with Yurov as his center with Mikhailis on the other wing. He's played with Zernov as his center last season and this season but Zernov isn't playing as well as he did last season and it almost seems like he's pressing and trying to do too much which results in not using his wingers as well as he did last season. I doubt the coach makes that change because they're winning but I'd like to see it at some point.

Our prospects have had a ton of success. In College, In WJC as you say, in their leagues like Kantserov. The only losers we have are on the NHL roster.
