With his skillet and physical attributes it's hard to not see him as a possible Calder candidate for 26 if he finds some chemistry with say Celebrini next year.
I expect all of Chernyshov, Musty, and Halttunen to start next season in the AHL
It’s hard not to see a second round pick as a Calder contender because he’s had a good first few weeks against inferior competition?
I doubt he gets enough games in the NHL to be eligible for the Calder next year. I think he spends a full year in the AHL.
Sure maybe but he was an older draft pick for a 24 draft and his skillset could be ready nut sure most years the calder comes down to opportunity and skillset meeting.
He'll be 19 years old at the start of the next NHL season and he's not a Celebrini-level prospect. He needs to prove he can dominate in the AHL before getting his NHL shot.
I think that I need to repost what I originally said as many seem to be missing the point.
I would be shocked if Chernyshov cracks the Sharks next season. Not saying it's impossible, but we have a lot of young forwards and not that many spots for them. I think one season in the AHL next year makes sense.
No, you're saying he's going to be a Calder candidate in a season that he likely will probably play hardly any NHL games. Unless they've changed requirements for the Calder recently, I think they expect you to play a lot of NHL games and do well in them to be a candidate.
Dude I will post it a 3rd time as you seem to be having problems reading it and I put in a big qualifier..
His skillset and physical skills have him advanced over many other 24 draftees.
Or you play with Zayne Parekh and Mike Misa.
It's almost like all three players make each other better. I know, crazy.
He should have gone higher for sure. He’s a very good player. But he plays with arguably the two best players in the CHL.
It's mutually beneficial. If Chernyshov is on a team where someone isn't giving him great set up passes or isn't able to finish the set ups he creates, then he's not doing what he's doing now. He would be successful no matter what CHL team he would have played on, but you can't just plug him into any lineup and expect 3 PPG. Does bring up an interesting situation though. If the Sharks don't win the lottery and say end up with pick 2 or 3, do they try to trade up to 1 to keep these two together? Give yourself 2 lines from the get go? Celebrini and Smith. Misa and Chernyshov.
