He had a really good game by scoring two crucial points (1 G, 1 A) in the decisive parts of the game. Dynamic, reliable and dangerous player as he has been in the Swiss league throughout his last season. And what most people forget, he is only 23 years old - plenty of time for impact in the NHL!
What a steal trading him to Chicago for only a 5th round pick. In my opinion he is at least worth a 3rd, if not a 2nd round pick!

Thank you Elon!
Hawks have his buddies/linemates in Kahun and Kampf...it was an easy choice for the Hawks to make that move and now he looks like a legit top 6 option for us. Bowman confirmed he will be with the Hawks next year, so this guy is exciting a lot of Hawks fans already. His shot is wicked, throws his body around as well...he is a very likable player to watch.
I was a massive fan of his when he and Kahun played together here in Sudbury. Awesome to see them reunited.

Yup. Though if he doesnt want to play for you than what. I just cannot believe that he didnt want to play for LA.
Elite wrister and even a wicked slapshot. Very few NHL forwards have a good slapper.
LA got Prokhorkin as consolation prize but Kubalik is the better player.

I dont buy he didnt want to play for LA, I am sure the contract was the problem

How so? He has to sign an entry level contract to come over, and he has yet to sign one with Chicago.

Prokhorkin is the better player of the two. Not sure how you equate a good shot to being the overall better player? But Prokhorkin is a notch above Kubalik and it’s not even close

Thank you Elon!

Really excited to see this kid play. Im hoping Colliton will slot him on a line with Kane. With Kane's vision and Kubalik's shot, those two could be a nasty duo.
Not really.. Kubalik has talent but Prokhorkin can step on the ice and make a difference from day one.. I’m salty that the Kings couldn’t keep both

I'd actually like to see him on his off-hand, playing with DeBrincat and Strome. Strome, a high-level playmaker, with two speedy wingers with quick and accurate wristers.

Dude. I pointed out his best asset. You make things up.
Just the tag "not even close" should have been enough to ignore you.
Here you go... Kubalik is the better player was your quote, I simply corrected you by saying no he is not and it’s not even close.

Corrected me ?
Only thing Prokhorkin has on Kubalik is flashiness and being a healthy scratch.
Kubalik has led all his teams in points the last years. He has a NHL shot.

Bowman isn’t shy about loading up an ELC with performance bonuses. Not sure if that is something the LA front office is against

Really Fro, you'd take the guy in the swiss league over a guy that's proven himself in the KHL??
We both know Prokhorkin isn't flashy, he's just really talented and gets things done... As for your whole he got benched , well news flash, he refused to sign an extention and was benched to force him to do so but he agreed to come over and he almost is .. Ultimately, we are getting a much needed infusion of talent, skill and youth(26YO)... would i have liked both he and Kubalik, sure but for whatever reason the Kings soured on him the way DL did on Bud Holloway ( though no where near the talent Kubs is)..
But i'll stick to my guns here and again say that Prokhorkin is the superior player and it isnt even close

We were right there
I don't think so. The only things they've been pretty clearly against are guaranteeing NHL roster spots and, uh, signing talented forwards
Really though we've had a major issue getting Europeans period all the way across. Russians in particular but it seems like guys that don't come over within a year of being drafted for us don't come at all.
