Player Discussion Denis Gurianov - "Change of scenery edition"

[CoopersFalls]

The best we can hope for is him playing lights out, then we qualify him for 1 year.

If he continues to play lights out Hugo can trade him for a kings ransom next year at the TDL if we are not in playoff contention.

Or hugo signs him this year to a 4 x 1.9m contract. Which again is both tradeable and valuable. Either way this asset is much brtter than dado.

I could see him playing decent and accepting 2x2 or 2x2.5 considering how his year went prior to the trade. He may accept lower AAV than his qualifying offer with the security of 2 years.

I've liked what i've seen so far...he plays a bit stiff though, but I've got a feeling he's going to stick.

Secretly praying for this yeah

The right system, the right coaches can get this player back on track.

Playing MSL hockey on the top 2 lines will certainly be more fun for him than playing the Dallas bottom 6 dump & grind game. He'll have every opportunity to earn a new deal here, I'm sure.

Reminds me of Burnet's goal (at the end)

 

[River Meadow]

That slapper! Holy hell

Who was the hab at the very end of the video that comes into the bottom frame of the video

Belzile i think

I'm guessing Adam Nicholas has been doing his homework on this Gurianov and will be laying on some big knowledge on the kid. If Gurianov has anything I think Nicholas and MSL will bring it out of him.

 

[Tetragrammaton]

Scored a beautiful goal, you don't see too many slapshots like that anymore. He looks good out there, are the Stars clueless? What's the catch?

 

[Trabdy2]

He has tools, size and speed, and from what I've seen so far I like the odds of MSL working with him to turn him into a solid middle 6 player.

It seems he didn't fit the coaches system 2 years in a row, they were looking to move him, and no other team made a better offer - or the Dallas GM didn't shop him around before being willing for him to be the price to pay to get DeBoer's guy, Evgenii Dadonov.

I similarly wonder what the Catch is with Vrana @ 50% of his salary. We couldn't have given a better AHLer and a 7th than the Blues gave for him???

Vrana entered the player assistance program. The Wings must know more about why that happened and decided to cut bait.

I have faith in MSL to rehabilitate struggling players on and off the ice

Vrana would be risk. If it goes wrong it could affect our young core. Anyway, Good luck with his struggles.

If you're pinning Gurianov against Greenway in value (who just got traded for a 2nd and 5th)
Id take Gurianov... So this trade looks alot better to me now loooool

 

[sandviper]

41.

i actually wanted to be conservative with expectations.

 

[1909]

Gurianov has the potential to be in our top-six next season.

 

[SlafySZN]

As some said when they acquired him, they traded for him with the thought of keeping him further.

I'm at my best when I'm stiff.lol.

Heyyyyyoooooo!!!

I'm sure you've noticed the improved overall play of Anderson,if he can do it,why not Gurianov

 

[yianik]

I have noticed many players / prospects gush over how Nicholson has helped them. So yes, why not him ?

 

[ZUKI]

Guys go take a peak at the Stars board before you make fools of yourselves. Hes a known quantity, and hes just not good. Not every player we get is a steal. Blind homerism is just as bad blind hate.

The hope is that he can establish himself as a bottom 6 offensive specialist that brings speed and size.

you said that blind homerlsm comment , but based on the peak you took at the Stars boards. But knowing what a fans base is, there is also the opposite side , the anti-homerists that will destroy the players skills reputation, after a bad season.

Kiss of death, watch Kent trade his ass in a PLD package this summer

Guri have everything to succeed and finally have the opportunity to produce. Let's hope he finish the season strong playing with slick Nick.
