Speculation: Undrafted FA Thread (NCAA/CHL/Euro) II

[LaP]

I don’t he would be better then Newhook personally

And Panarin is an exception, look at the Gusev/Shipachev/Plotnikov and cie who many thoughts they would come and have a major impact

Shipachev was 30 when he came in the NHL. It was never going to work at this age. Gusev has 54 points in 97 NHL games offensively he was fine. But he was 27 when he came to the NHL and after 2 years trying to adjust he was already 29. In the case of Plotnikov he has not been really dominating the KHL. He has always been under a ppg in the KHL and significantly for some seasons. Panarin was only 23 when he came to the NHL and that was after a very dominating season at 22. Not comparable imo.

I understand but Honestly I red the same kind of comments few years ago with Panarin.

Remember Montréal was in the mix at the end with Chicago.


Another Russsian., .undersize etc..

At the time nothing was sure cause the dude was not even drafted as well

Shabanov could surprise à lot of people and he will be a better llayer than Newhook from the get go

Apparently we all but had him, And then his team erased a 3-0 deficit and Chicago took an interest and that was that. f***ing brutal

Wonder if we try to convince Shabanov to come over and join Demidov.

The next Sekac?

 

[Zine]

The Flyers are the front runner with Shabanov. The Pens are also in the mix.

We should try....

I don't care if he is 5.8 170...the dude is so good.
He is 24 years old and he would be a lot more valuable than Alex no vision Newhook

Pass on Shabanov. Instead sign Aimurzin after next season. He'd compliment Demidov better.

Demidov-Aimurzin-(physical winger)

Some guys we could look at to boost Laval for the POs. Looking at guy that should be available in time for the playoffs, so not on Memorial Cup contenders. Could be NHL or AHL deals depending on which one.

Nate Tivey is interesting as he's a big boi and might just be slow developing as he was getting use to his body.
