Prospect Info: C - Zakhar Bardakov - Prospect Discussion

[McMetal]

Bardakov is expected to sign his ELC now, and I don't think we have a thread for him yet, so here we go. Discuss here.

Is he actually a "center" prospect? Or will he be playing winger as a pro?

A center

A center

Good! We could really use some homegrown centers. It's amazing that we had MacKinnon, Stastny, O'Reilly, and Duchene all at the same freaking time and we've been searching for centers since we had to go and get Kadri.

Our 2C savior?

I'll take a 3C or a 4C if he can get here quickly enough.

Young talent gives the team flexability.

That's up for debate, I guess. I don't have the fine eye for skating that henchy has, so I couldn't tell you with any certainty. He's listed as a C on Elite Prospects, so that's what I put down. May be subject to change.

Damnit, I miss Henchy.

Hopefully he comes back here when his contract with the Aves runs out

If we all of sudden start hitting on picks I'm going to be so damn proud of boy.

Also, if anyone could unlock the secret of Æ/60 and how to use it for the teams benefit, it would be our boy.

If that takes off, we'll know Henchy's done well and made his permanent mark on advanced stats.

He switched between centre and wing at times this season but finished the year primarily playing centre in playoffs

Bardakov is a NJ draft pick.

However, they have improved on the drafting. Not many of those guys are in the organization, but they are pumping out some NHLers. No home run picks but depth. Compared that to the run they had where nothing resulted into anything without a top 10 pick it's an improvement, but the bar was set really damn low.

If Conner Bleackley could read he’d be very upset with you right now.

If Connor Bleackley could read, he would have pursued a different career.

Dude is just f***ed on so many levels.

Why would he have pursued a different career?

His lack of ability to play high level hockey didn't hold him back from attempting to be a hockey player.

His lack of literacy shouldn't have held him back from trying to pass the bar.
