Patients is a virtue but can’t wait till lgor can start his return. JMO but an early prediction says he will be a beast out there. He is a total package that has played KHL and will be exciting to see him Misa and Parekh lightning it up.
Sam Dickinson to me is an easy call -- a big, fast, smart defender who does literally everything well. His floor is so high, I don't see any way of him not becoming at least an effective 3rd pairing NHLer and his ceiling is as a top pairing all-situations stud.
Chernyshov would be next for me, guys with elite compete levels almost always have better development curves, and his combination of size/physicality, speed and hands is actually quite rare. At the very least he'll be a stud 3rd liner, but it's more likely he's a force in the San Jose top 6 for years to come.
#3 to me would be very close between Mukhamadullin (I'm not sure if we consider him an NHLer after just a handful of games) and Musty -- another terrific competitor with the puck talent to play a top 6 role but the mentality to also succeed in a bottom 6.
I'd put Gushchin at the top of the upside of that group, but as far as a long career I'd say Wetsch because I feel his game and body really translate well to a bottom 6 role.Thanks for the insights! Which less heralded prospect do you think will have a long NHL career. Thinking about guys drafted outside the top two rounds including, but not limited to: Misskey, Roberts, Pohlkamp, Cardwell, Cagnoni, Rimashevsky, Graf, Kirsch, Wetsch, Gushchin, Svoboda, etc.

Let’s not waste time propagating that narrative.I just feel bad for musty at this point but it feels self inflicted
What was he supposed to do?I just feel bad for musty at this point but it feels self inflicted
Certainly, he could have handled things better. The scuttle is that he supposedly didn't request a trade until he was sent back to Sudbury (as opposed to letting them know over the summer, which would theoretically have given Sudbury more time to facilitate a move before the season), but at the same time, Sudbury has had plenty of time to make a move and they haven't. Rumor is they set the price ridiculously high, which is essentially a stall tactic to keep Musty. CHL trade requests are typically handled quickly and quietly, so this basically is Sudbury refusing to trade him out of spite.I just feel bad for musty at this point but it feels self inflicted
Very excited to see him play in the O.Saginaw moved a couple forwards yesterday as the OHL trade deadline creeps up. So either they know Chernyshov is just about ready to go or their about to play 3 games this week with 11 F's. Either way I think we're very close to Chernyshov suiting up.
Yeah. Broken hand. This stinks. He was producing before he got hurt so it wasn't all bad but he really should have played even after requesting a trade just to get games in.When was Musty's last game? Is he still hurt? He had a broken hand, right?
