We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

He looks a little taller than listed at 6'2, and his wrist / slap / snap shot package is very nice... Large potential to rise with a good year.
I wonder if he sneaks his way into the first round. Definitely a second rounder at worst right now.
7 points in 3 games now. At the U17's, looks like his numbers were right inline with the other top Russian young guns (Podkolzin, Gutik, Guskov, Spiridonov, Gushchin, Zaitsev). Pretty interesting that 2 of those guys (Afanasyev and Gushchin) have followed Svechinkov's footsteps to the Muskegon club in the USHL and they are joint top scorers with 7 points. The Lumberjacks also have a third Russian, Yakovenko, who is older and not really an NHL prospect but has already been a regular at the VHL level in Russia.
I've asked this before but never saw an answer...does Muskegon have a coaching or scouting connection to Russia that they've been able to land 3 high-profile Russian youth talents?

Rights just traded to Windsor. I wonder if Windsor has a deal in place to bring him over next year.
He seems to be a polarizing prospect.
Some view him as a 1st rounder, some don’t even list him in the first 3 rounds.
It will be interesting to see where he goes.
