Big, skilled kid. But he looks like he hasn't played hockey in nine months. Conditioning isn't there and he doesn't have chemistry with his linemates yet. Misplaced passes and stuff like that.

No problem. I intend to catch as many Saginaw games as I can down the stretch and report back.

Gorgeous cross-ice feed from Chernyshov to Misa on the PP for a one-timer.

He's looked a good fit with this team. It's pretty obvious his conditioning isn't all there but he's looking good. Tons of good handles and keeps. Protects the puck well with good habits there.

Conditioning definitely isn't there, and the execution and timing is a bit off (which makes sense for a guy in his second game in almost a year), but yeah. He's gonna tear it up with Misa and Parekh. He looks huge compared to all these Canadian teenagers.

Another goal for Chernyshov. I think it speaks to the quality of the OHL these days that even against a very good defensive OHL team/goaltender, Chernyshov can come in after no gameplay for nine months and immediately put up 2 PPG.

Chernyshov’s pass and goal!

 

[Juxtaposer]

Good to see Chernyshov on the ice with a minute left to defend a one-goal lead. He definitely has an active stick and clearly cares about defense. Good at forcing turnovers.

Zayne Parekh rocks. I know people don't like him but he f***ing rocks.

Chernyshov’s pass and goal!

I've tried to keep my expectations for Chernyshov pretty well in check since he was drafted and injured and needed surgery, but to see him come back making plays like this...yeah, goodbye to all that--I'm in.

 

[one2gamble]

Should have kept him on the cuda

Really depressing start for him /s

He's building chemistry with his future center

Isn't that how we got Lebanc? I thought he had an injury in his draft year and fell.

I have no idea if he was injured, but Labanc scored 35 points in 65 games as a 5'10" winger with a December birthday in his draft year in the OHL following an extremely underwhelming two years with the NTDP. He got drafted in the 6th round because that's where guys with his profile get drafted. He didn't explode until his D+1 OHL season.

6th round is definitely different than top of the 2nd round! But as Jux says, lots of different aspects that show the difference between the two as prospects. Important to remember that Labanc, for all the frustrations he caused, was a major success story for such a pick, whereas with Chernyshov, it's not unreasonable to project him as a proper top six winger. He certainly has the tools to make it in that role. Now we just have to see if he and the Sharks can make that a reality.

Speaking of labanc, after starting the season on a high with 10 points in 13 games has settled in nicely in columbus back to his old self of 3 points in the last 20 games.
