LW/RW Nikita Chibrikov (2021, 50th, WPG)

[jimsabo21]

Just scored a beauty against KHL champs in the pre-season game playing for the U20 NT.

Obviously it is pre-season and Avangard is not icing it's ususal lineup. But as for Chibrikov I guess he is at this point a lock for the U20 NT as an underager.

Any place to see the video of this goal?

Not getting much ice time at all. Is it still best for his development to be with SKA in the KHL or should he be in the VHL?

 

[thrillhous]

@FlyguyOX He was recently sent down to the VHL and has 2 points in the 2 games he’s played.

I like how calm it is around this kid. No hype, just scoring... a lot.

I just love how easy it looks for him. His timing is just naturally perfect so often.

I still can't believe he went so late. One of my favourite players from that draft.

 

[Atas2000]

He finally got numbers in the 3rd game(just like the whole team), but he was arguably the best forward on the team over the course of three games while the team stuggled a lot in the first two. Again, it will probably go unnoticed because Michkov deservingly will get the hype(obviously he is on another level as a 16 years old) and technically Galimov and Voronkov will have one point more, but Chibrikov was the most dangerous guy in all three games, created the most chances and I am glad in the final game he got rewarded with points.

Why is he down in the MHL again?

 

[Caser]

Why is he down in the MHL again?

Usual up/down process of the SKA system, rather unpredictable stuff for someone outside the organization. Although I also have a suspicion that they might want to try the Chibrikov-Svechkov-Michkov line in the MHL conditions first, aiming for the WJC.

That line seems to be working in the 2 games they've played. Insane numbers.

WJC preparations.

As they should. All three guys are too good for the MHL at this point, but it doesn't matter now a couple of weeks before WJC camp.

 

[thrillhous]

WJC preparations.

I’m guessing also the cumulative effect of all of the players added in recent weeks to the senior club, as I see that Marchenko and Morozov (and possibly others) were pushed down to the VHL.

This will be tryouts for some new players. Also WJC players are soon off to WJC camp.

What kind of player do you think he is like a Kucherov or Kaprizov or someone else? I was told by some scout friends that we stole him in the 2nd and they think he might be a top 10 player from this draft

Kaprizov and Kucherov is too much. Buchnevich though...

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Kaprizov and Kucherov is too much. Buchnevich though...

Chibrikov is 5’10. Buchnevich is 6’3. Not a good comparison. Marchenko or Yurov are better comparisons for Buchnevich.
