Is there ANY upside? Like ANY?

 

[GirardSpinorama]

At least this was with a 7th round pick..

Future hall of famer

I guess the upside is that he's been playing in the Q for three years, so unlike a lot of Russians he's clearly comfortable in North America and wants to be here. If he was still overseas, this would be an even money bet that he never even comes over. Maybe we can get him on the Eagles and see what he does.

This guy as a 19/20 year old was barely PPG in the f***ing Q.

There is zero upside here. He won't even likely be an AHL bottom sixer. ECHL or Euro 2nd tier leagues.

Why not just draft some toolsy 17 year old

I actually liked Prishchepov's game last year where he warranted some hype and maybe should have been a late-round selection. I might be misremembering him with somebody else, but he's a bottom-six energy player with a high motor that doesn't shy away from the physical game. Loves going to the front of the net and battling around there. Reminds me of Ville Nieminen who was probably drafted for a similar role, definitely a Bednar type of player.

Net-front presence. Words rarely heard in these parts. Seems like a lost art really.

 

[Bender]

This pick feels like a "hey this guy wants to play in the AHL next season and we need warm bodies to fill-out the roster" sort of a player.

 

[missionAvs]

This is the Nuke replacement.
