Also, with regards to Svechkov, man I like him as a player. Unlike many rookies, he's constantly involved in the play whether that means breaking up plays, carrying the puck up the ice or making those little passes he does in tight areas around the ice.

He's probably never going to be a PPG player, but a long-term 50-60p center is what I could see in him. When he can develop his skating a notch, he's going to be even more of a threat. Also, if he could add a touch of meanness to his game, he's going to be a force to be reckoned with.

What's not to like? He said Ozzy is the best hockey player he's ever seen and ROR is really, really old. :laugh:

He’s also a hilarious interview.

Yeah, he's like a smaller and craftier Parssinen. If we had both of them, we'd be set for the 2C/3C slots.

But we get those "rookie" bumps quite frequently with our young forwards, it seems. I think all of Tolvanen, Tomasino, Parsnip, Evangelista, and Novak fit nicely in that sense. If this is Svechkov's coming out party - and it looks like it might be - then I'm still antsy about what the future actually holds for him. We've been burned often enough by our handling of young players that I'm gunshy now. :(

When somebody messes with Svech, you will see an extra gear. He likes to get even quickly!

We didn't put in a claim.

Fair enough, we know exactly how that would have gone for that style of young player under Brunette. :/

Not terribly surprised we didnt but thought it might be worth a look. Considering we already jettisoned most of the young players we started with, it was probably a long shot that we would claim him

He would have been scratched here for 3 or 4 games while he "got up to speed" with Brunette's chalkboard. Then he'd get into a game with 9 minutes on the 4th line with scrubs. Then he'd sit in the pressbox. Then he'd get another game or two. Then back to the hot dogs. Then a few more games. All told, he'd get a goal in 9 games. Then be put back on waivers.

So yeah, I'm fine with just skipping all that. :rolleyes:
