Sleeping giant?

Huge forwards are so hard to project . How many 6’7 forwards do you have in the NHL? Plus he’s in Russia . 17th ranked among EU skaters isn’t bad I’d say

There’s only one. Tage Thompson. Dude can skate like he’s 5’7

 

[Fjordy]

Adams take him.

Dolzhenkov mentioned that over 10 teams have contacted him so far including Capitals, Lightning, Stars, Penguins and Oilers.

Think this guy gets drafted higher than most people expect hope the sabres grab him

If he keeps it up will he get some time in the VHL or even in Russia is he viewed as a long term project that needs to develop? Even in his highlights I notice hes not exactly where you would expect a player of his size to be

Extended with CSKA until the end of 2025/26.

Good deal for Dolzhenkov, only 19 and probably going to take a few years against men to really learn that style of game and to use his body as he effectively as he can, although the points and minutes look like they are there lately. I wouldnt even have been upset if the deal was a year longer.
