[hockey diva]

Who?!

 

[Scoresberg]

Oh yeah, because we have done so well with the Russians lately..

f***

 

[Legionnaire11]

Dear god, the announcers just jinxed the hell out of us comparing this kid to Radulov

 

[hockey diva]

BT has no fing clue what he is doing...

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

Analytics comparable is...Sam Bennett? How exciting...

 

[PredsV82]

We had to get a new EGOAT

 

[AintLifeGrand]

one of the youngest players in the draft with great numbers in the MHL...also can play center. Love this pick. Need more Russian Rizz

 

[Armourboy]

Ah great....

Yegor Surin is a highly competitive forward prospect with all the tools to become a fan-favorite, middle-six forward in the NHL.

I guess we want to be on the PK at all times between him and L'Heureux

 

[Viqsi]

Chernyshov was RIGHT THERE as a possibility to get over the fear of Russians and they went off the board.

Second time today I'm using this GIF...

 

[Teekko]

I won't act like I watched or know much about these prospects. But from the scouting profile, I actually like the sound of the Surin pick. Offensive upside with edge

 

[triggrman]

Good sized skilled center.

 

[hockey diva]

Oh goody another middle 6 forward... If we ever see him that is.

 

[Osprey]

Trotz was just forced to trade Afanasyev because he threatened to go back to Russia... so he immediately uses an even higher pick to draft another Russian?

 

[PredsV82]

Trotz swinging for the fences I suppose. Dude was ranked anywhere from 30s to 80something

 

[wmupreds]

ESPN is just glazing every single player that gets picked, so I'm not relying on them for any real analysis. Those of you that follow this closer, do you think this lines up with the stated goal of taking swings or risks?

 

[herzausstein]

Dont hate it. Seems like a bit of a reach. The future of this team is looking like a bunch of jerks. He has alot of skill

Trotz was just forced to trade Afanasyev, selected in the 2nd round, because he threatened to go back to Russia... so he immediately uses his 1st rounder to draft another Russian?

Our future will be nothing but russian centers.

Not just another Russian, another Egor...

 

[PREDy 4 the Cup]

This is why I should never get excited for Preds offseason. Poile or Trotz and it’s a let down. He got lucky with lame signings like Nyquist and Oreilly.

Now we draft a Russian, the same day we screwed over our Russian goalie prospect. Dude was rated as second or third rounder.

SMH, brutal pick.

 

[wmupreds]

Oh goody another middle 6 forward... If we ever see him that is.

Lets be honest with ourselves. You aren't likely to find someone projected above middle 6 at 22. Doesn't mean they can't theoretically make it higher than that but if they were projected top line forwards they're already off the board.

 

[Scoresberg]

Knowing this team's history with Russians, this won't end well.

 

[herzausstein]

Knowing this team's history with Russians, this won't end well.

I certainly hope it gets better because both our best center prospects are Russian.

 

[Preds Partisan]

Wonder how the scouting analysis went down on this kid since it would have mostly video plus whoever snuck into Russia for a live look.

Vlad Putin is Retiring to Nashville apparently so we are stocking up
