There it is. Hope Grier will have an availability to give some insight on AHL vs Saginaw.

It’s usually streamed on the host teams site.

What's the motivation on the Sharks end to sign the ELC so soon? Keep Chernyshov from returning to Russia if the Sharks slow-play his development?

To get him money and show that he is valued? He made a big leap and they are reciprocating.

A lot has happened but damn this has felt like a LONG offseason

Basic respect? Why not sign him, there’s literally no downside and he just took a big leap of faith in terminating his KHL contract and burning that bridge.

Probably because his decision to pursue termination of his KHL contract was predicated upon the Sharks offering the ELC.

 

[DG93]

Probably going to the CHL first?

Good point. It was a good faith question, as I don't really understand yet why some guys have to wait a year or two and others don't.

There's no real downside. if he plays in the CHL his contract will slide and he doesn't burn any years on it, so they're no worse off than if they chose to sign him a year from now.

Plus with CHL players or Euro players it's not like it is with NCAA guys. College players literally can't sign a contract or they forfeit their NCAA eligibility and can no longer play there. He can have his Sharks deal and still play major juniors or in Europe.

Otherwise it's usually more that the team waits to sign guys rather than the player. Like they probably won't sign the likes of Colton Roberts or Carson Wetsch yet because they want those guys to improve and prove they're worth the investment unlike Chernyshov who still has things to work on but has the pedigree of being the top pick of round 2 and not pick number 130+

And yes, I will update Chernyshov in the prospects thread tomorrow. I have to add his contract terms into his graphic and then adjust the rights expiry graphs to reflect it.

This right here is the real reason he terminated his KHL contract. He wants an updated one so that we fans can begin using it!!!

So who's right, the scout that Sheng spoke to who said that Chernyshov's defense is beyond atrocious, or the scouting reports I've seen that say Chernyshov was playing well defensively in the KHL?

To be honest I dont think shengs scout friends are very good, a lot of terrible evaluations come out of those quotes and I almost feel an anti sharks bias.

If he were beyond atrocious defensively, he would not have been given regular minutes in the KHL as an 18 year old. Easy as that.

 

[Kcoyote3]

IMO I don't think he's atrocious defensively.
