RW Yegor Chinakhov (2020, 21st, CBJ)

[SoundAndFury]

Yakupov certainly has had a good start in Omsk, he was close to being done in the KHL as well

Yak performs at a similar pace he did with SKA and plays a similar role. He averaged 0,57 PPG in SKA uniform, 0,54 so far with Avangard. It's amazing people somehow manage to see both his decline and revival of some kind when it's just him being what he is all along.

Hey everyone.

Here's Yegor Chinakov's performance against Amur on November 15, 2020.



And a breakdown of his style of play in my latest Ramblings piece for Dobber.

Just rewatched his WJC performance. He absolutely fell of the cliff. All the tools were there, he just butchered his development.

He also had 18 pts in 22 gp at 19 years old with Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk in the KHL. This was the lockout year and a time when the KHL was boosted with NHL talent and he was putting up numbers like that as a teenager before the Oilers got their hands on him to ruin his development.

You can say going to the OHL ruined him , I agree it didn't help but what hurt him more than anything was how the Oilers handled his development. Give him a franchise that's much better with player development and Yakupov is still an NHL player today.

Crazy that Yakupov still has a page in the prospects section

 

[Caser]

EN goal today:



Made also a very important interception before that, but couldn't score:

 

[NJ Fan 12]

Crazy that Yakupov still has a page in the prospects section

I see what you did there.​

 

[Atas2000]

I see what you did there.​

They are teammates now though. Also playing the same position. It is easy to compare them now.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

He had a good first game. I was surprised by how crisp his passing was. Everyone talks about his shot and it is good. But he is a sound passer as well. Showed great speed too

His two way play was a pleasant surprise as well, he made quite a few noticeable stick checks.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Got hurt today

 

[Mickey Marner]

Damn shame he got hurt, stood out every time I watched him.

Yakupov lead rookies in scoring in the NHL with the oilers . The Oilers also handled Draisaitl very well in that era. Yak didn't work on the parts of his game he needed to each off season. His hockey IQ isn't there. He failed with 4 other teams and was still young enough to turn into something

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Any idea why he is not playing in KHl since coming back from WJC?

injured?

 

[Kshahdoo]

injured?

Yeah, his WJC injury happened to be bad enough.

 

[Cowumbus]

First game back since his WJC injury, playing on the third line.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Hows he been btw

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

What was his injury?

 

[Kshahdoo]

What was his injury?

The WJC one.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The WJC one.

I meant what was the specific type of injury, not when it occurred.

 

[Tube Skates]

If I recall correctly it was a high ankle sprain. Or in that general area

 

[Caser]

Started scoring again:

Finishes the regular season by getting his 10th goal of the season:

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

You can question the pick if you want, but he’s over .5PPG in his 19 year old KHL season. That’s really good. Not many historically have done that. At least in the KHL he’s producing very well for a player his age. There aren’t really many comparables producing like he was at his age that didn’t turn into average or better NHL’ers. Only Yakupov, Tolvanen and Filatov, and the problem with those guys wasn’t that they weren’t good prospects. That’s the contention with Chinakhov from some. Some claim he was worth nowhere near a first round pick this year. Production-wise, the pick absolutely looks acceptable for now.

 

[Atas2000]

Some claim he was worth nowhere near a first round pick this year.

Who does that now?

He is absolutely on track as a first rounder. He has the classical eastern battle in the playoffs ahead of him.
