Novikov for the soul

If he even sniffs the main squad the coming season that's pretty, pretty good.

Definitely. It'd be nice to see, that's for sure. Small bits of hope, here and there, would maybe lift some of the pervasive cloud around them.

He sounds like a late 80's / 90's villain who wants to hijack a plane for deeper reasons.

This kid is interesting. Is there a general youth movement in the KHL or am I just paying more attention because we actually drafted some Russians?

A sixth round pick playing in the KHL his draft year is impressive, no?

It looks like there are four other 6th/7th rounders that are playing in the KHL, so still impressive but maybe not completely unique.

1+1 in less than 10 minutes of ice time.

Is that good?

Yes it is. According to the laws of mathematics, he'd have gotten a hat trick if they had just played him 30 minutes. If they kept him on the ice for the full 60, it would have a record breaking performance. These old school coaches just aren't up to speed with these advanced stats and that's why they only won 6-2.

If I've learned anything from HF debates, it's that production scales 100% linearly with ice time, so this checks out.

3 points in 6 games in the KHL so far, not bad for a 18 year old LHD

His NHLe numbers were pretty horrible if memory serves?

Being drafted by the Sabres lit a fire under dyat ass.

Increasing his trade value to get traded

 

[Woodhouse]

Novikov will play in his 20th KHL game today, but offensively is still at 1+2 while averaging ten shifts and seven minutes of ice time. I'll be surprised if he hits his ATOI though since today's opponent is SKA. He has been a +1 in his last three games, improving to +4 on the season.

 

[Woodhouse]

Picked up a minus on his first shift, but at least got shifts afterwards. I thought I might not see him again for a long while.
