F Igor Chernyshov - Saginaw Spirit, OHL (2024, 33rd, SJS)

[Kingpin794]

Does anyone know why he sat out the last game? Load management after being out so long, hopefully…

Illness. It's been going around the team the last week or so.

Igor back in the lineup and Saginaw beats a very good Windsor team.

Guy is built like a brick house. Just a huge dude out there. Can tell he really needs to get his legs under him again/get conditioning up but once he does I think he's going to handle the pro ranks just fine.

Who's the better prospect - Cherny or Musty?

Cherny is the shiny new toy and held his own as a kid in the KHL last year. Musty has more offensive upside but it's probably still Cherny until Musty proves he can play a more pro style game.

Not playing for a long time, he’s adjust fine. The conditioning will come. Especially if he puts in the offseason work and comes in ready for camp, I can see him making the sharks if they have a roster spot for him.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Give me Musty. NA Junior Russian Forwards are a terrible combo.

Knew I could count on you for consistency.

I'm sure the thirty-something games he plays in the OHL before moving on to the AHL next year will define his entire career outcome. Unhinged.

NA minors doesn’t tend to work that much better. I’m unhinged because I’m voting based on the past data of Chernyshov’s player type? Makes a lot of sense.

Except your whole arguememt for this every time it comes up hinges on too small a sample size with almost zero context. It’s half a step above superstition.

I know he's a winger but his build and skating reminds me of Holik. Very.. deliberate?

If Chernyshov were spending multiple key developmental years in the OHL, you may have a point. But he's literally going to spend thirty-something games there, some of which is still getting his legs under him post-injury, and adapting to NA culture and learning English. He'll be in the AHL next season, which he would have been even if he'd stayed in the KHL this season.

You can look up the stats for yourself but most Russian players that join the CHL don’t put up points right away and most are under a PPG for most of their first season. Cherny is putting up points from the very first shift and very first shot despite the injury history. Seems the NA ice isn’t slowing him down, only his conditioning from being gone from hockey for 8 months.
