Anyone know about this guy?

Personally IMO the more free FA bullets you can load and fire the better. If they suck they can make Abby better.

 

[Josepho]

Seems a little weird to do this one so early.

He was drafted by the Canucks in the 7th round in the 2022 draft. Not a free agent signing. He's only 19 years old, leads his team in points, and gets regular updates in the prospects thread.

Seemed to be a pretty well received pick by prospects nerds.

Thats a mouthful for the PBP guys....

 

[Coffees]

RIP the tank

Milstein should just be on Canucks payroll

Yes, I'm curious if this means they intend to move him to the AHL. Since his team won't qualify for the OHL playoffs, he may be a candidate for signing an ATO. Not sure how this all works, though.

13th in OHL defensemen scoring, good D+1 season.

 

[Red]

Not sure why they committed to this player already. I would have waited to see his play next season.

Likely they want to see him in the AHL next year and think it's better for development rather than stay in the OHL another year.

[Phrasing]

7th round ELC isn’t common so looks like a scouting win for AHL at least.

 

[Lindgren]

There were some good reviews after the last prospect camp, from media and a few observers here, as I recall.

He was up to about 5th in scoring for OHL d-men a while back but has been in a points slump for a few weeks and fallen back. A lot of his points have come from power-play assists. His team, the Soo Greyhounds, are near the bottom of the standings.

Shoots left, 6', 201 lbs (elite prospects)

 

[Killer Orcas]

Canucks signing all these Russians to make a certain Russian draft eligible player comfortable??

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Milstein:
The Soviet Union will be pleased to offer the Canucks another player.

Rutherford:
Soviet Union? I thought you guys broke up.

Milstein:
Nyet! That's what we wanted you to think, hahahahahaha

 

[VanJack]

Canucks will sign just any prospect d-man right now.......hopefully it's not 'quantity' over 'quality'. But this kid is trending well for a 7th round draft pick.

Listed on Hockey DB as 6'0" and 200, so he's not tall but definitely not 'small'. So hard to assess players--particularly d-man--who are playing on bad teams in the OHL. The Soo Greyhounds have the second worst record in the OHL.

But if Kudryavtsev can even carve out a regular role in Abbotsford, then it's 'win' for a 7th rounder and the Canucks scouts.

 

[Zombotron]

it'll probably be pronounced like "ku-draft-sev" by PBP

 

[VanJack]

It'll be interesting to see how they fit that name on to the back of an Abbotsford Canuck jersey......feel sorry for the 'play-by-play' guys.

I can add a little to this. Seen a Soo game and some other video

Really good puck mover 4 way agility has some explosiveness to his game and physicality. Kind of a jack of all trades guy. Unfortunately the Soo have been awful this year.

Glad they signed him. He was a great 7th round pick. Not sure if he goes to Abby or overages in the OHL.
Edit: He's an "04 will be back in the OHL. Even better though he was a '03.

As I understand it, his next year in the OHL would not be an over-age year.
