Player Discussion Marat Khusnutdinov

He's got a lot of room to grow. I'm surprised the Wild gave up on him at his age. I think he's got a decent ceiling, especially with his toolkit. Speed, motor, decent hands and positioning

Really rooting for him.

His and Lauko`s forecheck and pressuring the Panthers on Lohrei`s goal was impressive

Exactly the kinds of additions they needed for the bottom six. Hopefully it kicks Beecher into gear. He won’t have a starting job next year if it doesn’t.

Beecher's lack of stick skills and puck handling is laughably bad. I don't think I've seen an NHL'er look so stiff when he has the puck as much as Beecher.

 

[False Start]

Thought he looked quite lost positionally versus Florida.

But that's ok it's only been two games. Obviously not used to our system.

Wonder why they gave up on him. All these guys we added are very young.

Its Bill Guerin, the guy that took an injured Kreider over Tage Thompson and ln conjunction with Sullivan let Tkachuk play injured instead of Kyle Connor.

I wonder if part of his issue is assimilation? Looks like he can't speak English well so it must be tough in that regard.

I see some old style Russian hockey with him ala the late Alexander Skvortsov.
