Nice to see him finally playing against men and scoring. Right on schedule.

He is fast AF. If he had slightly better hands he would be unstoppable.

2 goals today too:

 

[Kshahdoo]

He at least has very good shot.

 

[Atas2000]

He at least has very good shot.

Well, hands and shot are different things.

His speed is also an asset that can't be discarded. He gets to pucks first, he gets away from the D just with his footspeed. I don't know if he makes it to the WJC. This year is just crazy forwards wise. But I wouldn't mind if he did. Having a speedy even if smallish guy who can just torment the D with his dashes is not bad at all.

Objectively Yurov was the best forward of the tournament, but Pashin is a good pick for Carolina. Low risk high reward. If he can translate his game to higher levels to offset for his size he could become an effective pro.

Lighting the VHL on fire, very impressed from what I have seen. HOWEVER, there are rumours that he stated that he won't ever come to America. We will see in a couple of years, if so, maybe Carolina can make something work.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Even if he did say that (although obviously some kind of source would be appreciated here) I don't think it really matters at this point. If he becomes an NHL-level forward there is no way he stays. People say a lot of things when they are 19 and probably do believe it at the time but no way a grown-up person lives with that decision out of principle.

Maybe it was marginally possible back in 2010-2015 when some teams were willing to match NHL salaries but I doubt those days are coming back.

Happy he decided to move, good choice kid!

He was right there for the Oil to pick him and they didn't.. I think it bites us in the ass. Love watching him play.

Hope he does better there than he did in the AHL last year. Still like him as a prospect but will take some time.

he's undersized and still only 21. potential is there for sure. he was always going to be like a 5 year project. who knows but could become something for sure
