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

[JohnLennon]

Chernyshov is doing a good job. I just don't know why it's some huge deal. He's 205+ pounds (apparently now 225). He played in the KHL last year. He was viewed as a big time player in the last draft and fell for non-hockey reasons. This shouldn't be some big surprise. Maybe the extent of the heater he's on (that'll of course regress to a more logical pace) and that he needed no time coming off his injury, but maybe playing in a significantly easier league allows for him to pick up where he left off after the injury.

How are you shocked that people on a prospect forum are impressed that a kid drafted months ago is posting 3 points per game in convincing fashion after a major surgery which often puts entire careers in jeopardy at this stage of development?

It's really not that hard to understand

He’s a KHL player who weighs 205-225 pounds, he was a top 20 talent from the prior draft, he was one of the older players from that draft (he’s technically in his last junior season), and he’s playing with two of the best scorers in the OHL. If you didn’t expect Chernyshov to light up these little kids, you are crazy. Maybe he would’ve needed an adjustment period of a few weeks or a month, but Chernyshov should be one of the leading scorers in the OHL.

Yes, we are excited that he is doing well. What are these weird qualifiers? No one is saying he’s McDavid, we are excited by what he’s done so far.

apparently we’re not allowed to be excited about a prospect on the prospect boards. Unless he’s a 3rd year college player whos finally putting up points…
