I sure do hope we just hold a roster spot for a kid who’s never played hockey in North America before. That always works.

Kaprizov also spent how many years in the KHL? Not a fair comparison and you obviously know that. Not to mention Kaprizov is much more skilled than Chinakhov

Kubalik and Suter have been great for the Hawks, after playing on larger rinks.
Omsk rink is 28x60 m.

Kaprizov is 24 years (older than Bemstrom, Texier, Laine for example), he played in TOP teams as Salavat Yulaev and CSKA Moscow in TOP 6. Chinakhov is 20 years and he never was in the situation like Kaprizov. Btw when Panarin came in NHL he was 24 years old too.

Did the Hawks reserve spots in the lineup for them or did they force their way onto the roster?
Kind of funny, Suter is 24 this year and Kubalik was 24 last year. Everyone he mentions came to the NHL at 24

Oh, Avangard released a long statement regarding Chinakhov, it's not pretty.
"It is a pity that the games and the harmful influence of agent Babaev influenced Egor career and relationships with his native club"
«Авангард» о Чинахове: «Жаль, что игры и пагубное влияние агента Бабаева настолько повлияли на его карьеру и отношения с родным клубом»

Agent Babaev is a big aferist. IMHO KHL should withdraw his agent's license. Avangard wanted to work with Yegor, improve him but Babaev needs him to move to NHL.
Khl always hates losing players. They so this so other young prospects feel guilty when deciding to not sign contracts with them.

Well I think the "return on loan for a year" bridge has been burned.

Yes. Left roster spots open. They played their way on to the top line (Kubalik) and 2/3rd line (Suter).

Age had nothing to do with it though.
Kurashev worked out great this year too, he’s 21 years old. Not sure what your point is...
Age = experience. We want Chinakhov to be the best Chinakhov he can be for his whole career. Not play 8 minutes a game just to see how the pro's do it.
You wont over develop a kid but you can certainly rush them. In the AHL/KHL he can experiment more and round out his game, the NHL isnt so forgiving in that regard.
So my point is just because he was a 1st round pick it doesnt mean he needs to be rushed over here just for the sake of it. Hes not going to be any sort of savior
I agree I would let him stiil one season in Avangard. But his agent is Babaev and he`s ... .
It isn`t this case. The best for Chinakhov is stay one year in Avangard. Besides childrens school are part of teams and if they educate his players ad then NHL teams take him still young it isn`t too pleasant.

Do people realize Yegor Chinakhov is 6 ft 180 lbs and can skate? Exactly the same as Bjorkstrand. And he’s 20, he was drafted as an over-ager!
The KHL is the 2nd best league in the world, why play him in the AHL?

The amount of minutes he plays are completely on the coach. Kurashev is playing 13 minutes a night and doing well. Think about Sven the minutes during practice. He will be going against the best and training with the best. It’s also important that Gavrikov can help him to acclimate to the cultural/country change.
He’s not being rushed, he was drafted as an over-ager and has been playing/developing under an NHL coach. He is responsible defensively and Hartley said as much. He played in a shutdown role at the WJC. What does he need to learn? KHL is the second best league in the world and he has shown he can be impactful there. Why play in a worse league if he can provide immediately at the NHL level?
Production from players on ELCs is severely undervalued on these boards.

Chinakhov NHL projected point equivalent:
Factor of safety let’s say of 2, he still is projected 25 points. I think there is value in that.

"...agent Yegor Chinakhov had completely different plans".
I know that sentence was referring to Chinakhov's agent, but "Agent Yegor Chinakhov" is how I will think of the player from now on.

Everyone matures and is able to take on responsibility different. Get him over here for camps and then make the call. Let's see how he plays relative to the rest of the guys out there.

If Yegor Chinakov comes over and kicks ass and wins a roster spot I’m all over having him in the lineup but if you save him a roster spot and he’s not ready then you just have Emil Bemstrom.
