No, HFPens decided last year to exclude him and that carried over to this year too.

Hm, not sure who to vote for. I've changed it from Gauthier to Tankov to Lucius.

 

[SEALBound]

I'm really curious how Tankov does this year. Had a mediocre VHL season but then turned into a playoff monster going PPG+. He's also 6'2, 200lbs which helps. I'd really like to see him at PPG in the VHL and then get the call to the KHL this year. Would rather him get seasoned over there as opposed to coming here. Hopefully not another Zlobin.

I really want to like Tankov as a bit of a sleeper since he seems to have some pretty interesting talent but like... I have no idea how to gauge his level of competetion. Is the VHL like... ECHL level? Worse?

 

[Randy Butternubs]

NHL 1000
VHL 328
ECHL 147

As per this kinda outdated table:

https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/topdownhockey/viz/NHLEquivalencyandProspectProjections/ProspectProjections

Allvenskan or however it is spelled is close to the VHL

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

lol NOTHING is as sad as the ECHL huh?

Tankov is already 22, hasn't played vs. men yet, and Zlobin was already over in the QMJHL as a 17 year old.

VHL is like the AHL of the KHL. You’re thinking of the MHL which is like the OHL, WHL etc. . OKHL?

Maybe add Pietilla next @Randy Butternubs, might start voting for him after Lucius.

 

[eXile3]

I didn’t even think Tankov was considered a prospect anymore.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

I didn’t even think Tankov was considered a prospect anymore.

Why?

 

[eXile3]

Why?

He disappeared. He’s 22 and hasn’t touched a N.A. game. Looks like he was 128th in scoring in Russians second best league.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

If anyone cares or wants to watch, Tankov plays Saturday morning at 8am ET.

 

[Tom Hanks]

If anyone cares or wants to watch, Tankov plays Saturday morning at 8am ET.

If he’s not playing 50 minutes is it even worth watching?

 

[Al Smith]

If he’s not playing 50 minutes is it even worth watching?

Unfortunately, I think his injury pretty much killed any likelihood of him playing in the NHL.

I'm having technical issues with HF both on mobile and with my laptop. I'll post the next poll as soon as I'm able.
