C German Rubtsov (2016, 22nd, PHI)

[Roo Mad Bro]

Underrated prospect. Sweet hands on that play.

 

[Tripod]

Important year in his development.

Important year in his development.

His progress last year was obviously stunted because he came to NA. /s

His progress last year was obviously stunted because he came to NA. /s

His progress was halted by his KHL team ******* him around.

After moving to the Q, he had the 2nd best PPG among Q rookies. Only Hischiers was better.

Kids gonna be a good one. Likely a quality 2nd line C or LW.

Oh Chevy you idiot......

Stanley still has lots of years to turn it around. Plus, Luke Green seemed to have a good year while Laberge struggled with a concussion.

Still lots of developing needed from the whole bunch.

I stand corrected. /s

Stanley has lots of years to become a third pairing PK-specialist.

Sounds good to me. I'm happy with him as long as he helps the team to win on NHL level

Blame everything on the KHL.

Call me when he actually is a NHL 2nd liner.

He didn't blame the KHL. He blamed Vityaz for not having such a shitty relationship with their VHL affiliate that they couldn't send Rubtsov there.

I was blaming his team, not the entire KHL. Which is very fair considering the circumstances around Vityaz.

1/6 for faceoffs, we'll see where he is by the end of the year and if his responsibilities increase/decrease but this was one of the areas he needed to work on. Looks like he's now playing center?

I’m not worried about faceoffs. I want to see him get stronger & continue his overall development.

 

[wings5]

Faceoff attempts are going down, is he playing wing now?

 

[Fantomas]

They wouldn't play Rubtsov 3 minutes a game in the KHL. They'd just send him down to the VHL or the MHL.

Either way he's developing pretty badly. Can't win a faceoff and now 1 goal in 9 games.

gee, for a guy who will be 20 soon, 1 goal in 9 games in the chl sounds pretty damning.

Oops....you spoke too soon. 2 goals tonight. 11 points in 10 games

gee, for a guy who will be 20 soon, 1 goal in 9 games in the chl sounds pretty damning.

20 soon? His birthday is June 27th.

 

[Fantomas]

If he dominates the rest of the way, you have my permission to rub it in my face good.

 

[Stizzle]

I guess you're forgetting that his KHL teams relationship with it's VHL affiliate was so f***ed up they wouldn't (or couldn't) send him there last year.

We're starting now without your permission

These guys scoring against kids in the CHL isn't a problem. The problems with this path surface the closer they get to the NHL. I suspect he will be similar to these guys like Goldobin, Zykov, Scherbak etc that are twisting in the wind on the fringe of the NHL.
