Hes not been playing the last 3 games (game today included)
He’s team have won all 3 !?
Carolina has been lauded for their rounds 2-7 drafts for at least the past five seasons, and they haven’t had much to show for it wrt to NHL products. Nikishin looks like he’ll be one but not much else. I was randomly thinking about this yesterday lol2 games. He played vs Admiral and they won that game. Amur and Barys are 2 of the bottom 3 teams in the standings and Torpedo shitkicked them both. 7-2 and 10-1. Teams had no business letting Artamonov slip to 50 and of f***ing course it was Carolina who took him

It’s a lot of thr same scouts I would expect. I can’t imagine why they suddenly lost their ability to draft later round players.2019 they got Kotchetkov. 2020 Nikishin. 2021 Morrow and Blake might be guys. Still too recent for the 2022 and newer guys. They used Ponamarev, Koivunen, and Lucius as pieces for Guentzel. That's a lot better than what we've done under Fitz. We were f***ing late round menaces under Ray though. Might have been the best later round team in the league that span.

To be fair, Traff and Pikkarainen seem like decent picks. They aren't just tall. Filmon fits that profile as well. Sharangovich was a great pick and he's taller. I can't imagine they are excluding guys simply based on height. This is the same staff that picked Casey for example.At least this past draft the difference is the GM just sorted by height

You missed there.Carolina has been lauded for their rounds 2-7 drafts for at least the past five seasons, and they haven’t had much to show for it wrt to NHL products. Nikishin looks like he’ll be one but not much else. I was randomly thinking about this yesterday lol
Did I? What did I say that was incorrect? Kochetkov is a goalie, so he’s whatever. The fact of the matter is that they have not had any regular contributing skaters in rounds 2-7 since Jack Drury in 2018 (bottom 6 guy) and Kochetkov was selected in 2019, and again, he’s a goalie.You missed there.
Picked up a primary. Took a handoff at the point and walked into a shot at the dot and of f***ing course Artamonov puts in the rebound. Another 2 pt game for Artamonov
Would I like to draft Artamonov in the second? Of course, He is first round caliber player, top-20 at least. But we didn't have every pick on the draft.
Nice to see Silayev moving around the offensive zone and getting rewarded.
He skates well enough that he can, and probably should, roam around the offensive zone like that. When you add that his reach can also help him cover up for mistakes, I think you want to let him get deeper in the zone than other defenseman.
Big C back in today on the 3rd pair (although he still got good deployment). little tied up w stuff so this was an abbreviated viewing:
- elite stops again. every time, i will say this every time. advanced defensive understanding coupled with a huge frame/reach he knows how to leverage is scary. saw him drop down on a 2 on 1, which i rarely ever like, but it was almost funny how much ice he took away. also seemed a little extra physical today
- pinches/off puck offensive zone movement were more aggressive today. not quite at the level of his season debut but closer than what he had been doing. maybe a byproduct of the rest days
- rewarded with an assist for the aforementioned movement. great activation down the left boards after a silky rotation from the point. fired a low, rebound friendly shot toward the net. confident carry
- one thing im noticing, a number of goals hes out there for (ie goals 1 and 3) hes not really contributing to, but hes making stops that are leading to pucks being available for his teammates to grab and then start an attack from. that could be massive for a team like ours
am... we did have the pick. Artamonov was drafted by 50th pick. We drafted Yegorov by 49th.This was a really nice play for Silayev because it’s something I feel he wouldn’t often do. I think generally he’d shoot the puck there right after getting it rather than taking it and walking into a shot at the dot
I’m not bitching it wasn’t us. We didn’t have a pick. Just crazy teams let him slide so far
