RW Nikolai Kovalenko (2018, 171st, COL; traded to SJS)

[Pierce Hawthorne]

He's actually been a lot better then I expected honestly. Pretty decent creativity and can find the soft areas of the ice to get himself good chances.

Definitely feels like a legit NHLer. He's been playing Top 6 minutes so far due to all the injuries and while I'm not convinced he has that kind of upside, he also hasn't really looked out of place either.

I can see him carving out a solid NHL career as a bottom 6 guy though and probably closer to 3rd line quality.

Zetterlund 2.0?

Lighter but more aggressive. An older "prospect" with solid middle 6 winger potential.

Yeah it's actually funny how many of the Sharks forwards are more or less the same mold of the player.

Grier is building a team of himself.

3 points tonight and all of them nice! Clicking with Celebrini…

It loks like the trade was a good thing for him.

He's a rookie as well so Sharks now have 2 rookies on the same line. Of course Kovalenko is a little bit older than Celebrini...

That's awesome! He still needs to work on his consistency, but he had a nice mix of effort and skill with the Avs. Just unfortunately looked like he lost the trust of Bednar
