It's why I've been posting more. I've been lurking on here since I was in college and started getting into prospects. Now with Barron I feel like I have something to contribute rather than learn.

I feel the same haha. Since I moved to Vienna, I am in a much better spot to track our EU prospects and it's great to contribute

Agreed. This is what we need! No fan has the time to keep track of all our prospects but with these 2 kids updating us on the college prospects, @ManUtdTobbe and @Ola focusing on the Nordic countries, it makes it a whole lot easier for this fanbase.

I was originally planning to watch way more draft eligible guys, then Miller’s first game was free, and college hockey can be really fun to watch, and Miller was really fun to watch in his first game and Friday/Saturday games are a breeze to watch and here we are

And isn't it great? The year I move to Vienna and get a job with a lot of travel opportunities, is the same year the Rangers have 1st round picks again and adding a bunch of EU players. Lias, Virta, Lakatos, Reunanen, Pajuniemi, Sjalin, Lundkvist, Rykov, Kravtsov. I am happy to add something useful to this group

I was looking into a trip to Kazan for the KHL All Star Game, but I am just not sure I can get a visa on time to visit Russia. Vitali has to settle for seeing me only 3 times the next 2 months haha

The metric and eye-tests are not enough, Amazing is taking it a step further performing a nose-test on all kids. It can only be a matter of time before he is snitched up by one of the big prospect conglomerates, imagine if you could add something like this to a scouting report:

Kravtsov's scent has many similarities to Kuznetsov's scent at the same age. Both young Russians emits a strong underlying laurel odor topped by the standard odor of ammoniak and birch. They do however differ in one significant area, Kuznetsov emitted a strong odor of garlic at the same age while Kravtsov does not show any sign of doing so. When a young players does not smell garlic it is a warning sign for them eating a lot of fast food. This should be monitored going forward.

Really appreciate the info from @Amazing Kreiderman I often forward his tweets to my childhood friends who are all over the globe now and still keep up with the Rangers.

I'm also amazed (no pun intended haha) at his work desk. Maybe it's just being a paranoid NYer at heart but there is no way I would leave all that memorabilia on my desk at work even with a lock on my door and the potential for cleaning staff to go all rogue and put that stuff on ebay. (I saw a very talented singer from Australia in early October in Brooklyn, she was kind enough to spend a few hours meeting fans and had her stage rug which was handmade from Nepal stolen in the time...no bueno).

I work in an office with high security. Everything is caught on camera so even if the cleaning lady would steal a puck, I would find out immediately.

But thanks for the kind words. I like sharing my experiences. My Twitter followers have tripled since I met Kravtsov in Helsinki in September hahaha.

I will definitely be sharing whatever happens next week in Tampa when I am at the Rangers game with my Lias Andersson banner. It will be the 8th game I see of him, in 6 different countries and 6 different competitions.

Also, what's up with Jake Ragnarsson? I know +/- isn't a great stat, but he's -15 through 20 games, after (IIRC) being -6 in 10 games.

It has been fun on my end, and it’s nice to contribute to stuff I’ve always been thankful for other people contributing. But you’re definitely taking it to the next level

That level is coming perilously close to restraining order territory, but, I’m glad to see someone else falling on the grenade for the rest of us here.

Kravtsov is a player I was a fan of even before we drafted him. This is such a special opportunity. If it results in a restraining order, so be it. I will wear a disguise

I can see AK spending some time in a Russian prison somewhere in Siberia. Don't know about you guys but I will not be sending him any letters.

Dubas said both Sandin and Liljegren are both being loaned to team Sweden.
How much does this hurt Nils chances of making it. I assume 2 spots on the right will be locks for Boqvist and Liljegren

Unfortunately it probably erases them. The coach holds Sandin in higher regard than Lundkvist for some reason and there will be some older guys that they add too. I wouldn't expect him to be named to the squad let alone get ice time, which really sucks.
