F Igor Chernyshov - MHK Dynamo Moscow, MHL (2024, 33rd, SJS)

[Xirik]

Where does this guy eventually go, maybe mid-late teens? Presumably there is risk given the whole Russian thing, no?

Sharks made a lot of sense but with getting Celebrini they might pick a defensemen if one of the big ones drops
Detroit makes sense but so does Nygard
Blues take him or else they fail at drafting.

If he gets past them then whoever gets him gets a steal.

If Helenius, Iginla, and Buium are gone by the time the Devils pick then I think they'd teeter-totter between Him and Nygard.

Early 2nd rounder IMHO. He'll probably go in the 20s based on what I'm reading.

Why don’t you like him?

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Why don’t you like him?

Doesn't produce enough for my liking as a late birthday. Film looks solid, but not enough finish.

6'2 3/4. 204lbs

Same size as “unicorn” Beckett Sennecke.

I feel like some contender picking in the mid-20’s will end up with a plug-and-play middle six winger built for the playoffs in two years. Wish my team had a pick in the 20-25 range to grab this guy.

 

[Xirik]

he's the the 3rd best power forward type player and play's an NHL game.

 

[BKarchitect]

He’s my guy for the Avs. Not that he’s an immediate replacement but need a big bodied complimentary winger in the system with the uncertain futures of Landeskog and Nichushkin. Even if the offense doesn’t super pop-off at the NHL level or takes a while to develop.

Avs showed they aren’t afraid to pick a Russian in round one with Gulyayev last season.

 

[Zine]

Stylistically he reminds me of a better skating version of Shane Doan.

 

[HawksDub89]

He’s one of several prospects I’d be ok with the hawks taking at 18

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

He's a good enough playmaker to play with top players. He'll be a complementary player but could play high in your lineup.

Man he's going to be a handful to play against in the NHL, I'd love to have him in my teams prospect pool.

I imagine he goes between 10-15.

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

There’s a lot to work with here and I can see him playing up and down the lineup.

I have the sneaking feeling he drops to 18-24 and becomes the steal of the draft in a couple years.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

I have the sneaking feeling he drops to 18-24 and becomes the steal of the draft in a couple years.

My thought is that he could be a Hyman/Nuke-type complement to elite players.

He handles the puck so well, very aware/good as a playmaker, and he skates so well. Very responsible in his own end too, he takes it just as seriously. Plus at his size he's going to be dynamite along the walls as far as holding onto pucks in deep, winning battles, extending plays, exc (he already is). Plus a powerful shot.

He seems like a guy with the tools to excel in the playoffs.

If I'm Chicago.. imagine getting Demidov at 2 & Cherynshov at 18.. Put those guys with Bedard & you could have a hell of a top line.

Hey Ducks, you could have picked a better version of Sennecke. Sharks are probably going to draft him for the 1st pick tomorrow, this draft for the Sharks will be like the 2017 draft the Stars had.

I would be stoked. We may double down on the defensive need, though. Who knows. We fired our Russian scout publicly earlier in the year so maybe they don't have confidence.

Forgot about that, was looking forward to this pick but now I'm not confident it's happening

 

[sjsharks92]

Would really like Chernyshov but I don't think he is a player Grier/the Sharks would target. For some reason, they have always avoided Russians in the draft.

well he was smart enough to target Mukhamadullin in the Meier trade. must have some good intel.

Wish granted...if Grier so chooses.

Lol I literally just came here to say that he’s my first choice at 33 by far. I am worried we won’t take him though.

I mean I would love to grab a RD with some good ones available but if teams are just going to leave these guys for the Sharks to draft...you kinda have to go Chernyshov tomorrow.

Clear BPA. Never thought he'd make it out of the first. This draft is crazy!

 

[jMoneyBrah]

Back when the Sharks were holding pick 14, I was hoping IF one of the D didn’t fall to them they’d trade back to the early 20s and hope Chernyshov was still on the board.

To have picked Dickinson at 11 and now have a shot at Chernyshov at 33… mind blowing. Make it happen Grier.

 

[Caser]

Well, now we know how getting a sunburn can destroy your first round chances.
