I’ve said before I think Kurashev ends up a 45ish point guy, and I still feel that way. I think he ends up a really good 3rd line depth scorer.
All of these young players--I don't care where they project points-wise, I'm just having fun watching the games this season.
Didn’t he play in the Q?Yeah, its almost like he went from playing against teenagers to very strong grown men.
It is almost like there is video showing he is not lanky. It is very clear that Kurashev is thicker this year and you can tell looking at him.
Depends on your standarts I guess. He's compared to me and I've never seen a gym from the inside my entire life. I'm exactly 6'0, 190 lbs right now.
People were unsure about many parts of his game but he's proven everybody wrong. Even I, as one of his biggest fans, had some concerns but he's a complete player now. Even won 48,6% of faceoffs though small sample size of course. He does lack body strength though. Again, it's enough to survive out there but he doesn't win a lot of battles and he hardly ever hits anybody, let alone in a way that would do any kind of damage. That used to be a part of his game when he was younger but it has gone away. Of course, it's tougher to be physical against men than it is against kids but still. He's not exactly overpowered out there but he did get flattened and run over badly a few times already.
Definitely the one thing he still has to work on. Has to hit the gym hard to fill out and grow into his frame. That's something DeBrincat seems to have done lately but I'm not seeing it just yet when watching Kurashev. There's still a lot of room.

He wins battles all the time. In fact he's great at keeping possession of the puck and stripping the puck off others.
What are you going on about? Are you subtly trying to brag you’re the same size as a pro athlete without working out?
That has nothing to do with me. I'm just saying that he needs to get stronger and I disagree that he looks strong. I told you guys even back in the draft thread how great of a player he's gonna be and he even outperformed my expectations for him. Great player, but that's the one thing I believe he still needs to work on. He probably just didn't really focus on it so I don't blame him. Still time to fill out his frame.
People said he looks stronger. You’re arguing over some arbitrary definition of strong.
What a meaningless argument you’ve created.
That's not what everybody said, no. And I also disagree with the "er" anyway. Stronger than a few years back probably but no recent eye popping improvements like you can see when looking at DeBrincat. It also shows on the ice. Again, for me it's the last big thing he needs to work on to be a complete player.
He’s a rookie and is two years younger than DeBrincat. What in the world are you getting worked up about?
He’ll obviously continue working on it.
It’s almost like you’re not ignoring them at that point.Ignore lists aren’t very useful if you’re constantly talking about who you have on them.
It's still the same but funny because you see people talking at thin air in amusing ways, and I only have 1 person on ignore but see it time to time.It’s almost like you’re not ignoring them at that point.
He was injured for a bit, but has gotten a chance to play with Bedard since returning and has looked the most comfortable there. Kurashev finally looks like he's playing with confidence.Hey Hawks fans! Don't mind my avatar, be kind...
I was chilling on Yahoo Sports today when I saw that Kurashev was 10 in 10 and I was pretty surprised! I didn't to see the Hawks a lot so far, how does he look? Just a lucky start? Does he have top 6 upside? Why only 10 games?
Yeah, just... wassup with Karashev?
