What Russian KHL players you would like to see in the NHL next season?

[Appleyard]

Amongst guys not mentioned so far Maxim Osipov has impressed me at times over the last year and a half... and is a righty.

He needs to learn to move his feet more though... he is not slow, but he simply drifts around ice too much at times.

He would likely need some AHL time but could be a decent bottom pairing and PP2 guy maybe.

The KHL is the international equivalent of the AHL.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The KHL is the international equivalent of the AHL.

No, the KHL is better than the AHL. The KHL is the best league in the world outside of the NHL.

But why Telegin best russian player in WCup?
Zaytsev best russian D in WCOH

 

[Gsus]

Kovalchuk.

Telegin could be a NHL player right now. I would love one Telegin in the Flyers bottom 6. His diving/crawling in the Worlds semis against Finns was hilarious tho.

Telegin russian Clutterbuck)

 

[lakai17]

Gusev and Dadonov for sure.

I think Shipachyov is the best hockey player outside the nhl today so definitely him.

Nope)
Mozyakin is the best hockey player outside the nhl

 

[Riddum]

People simply don't understand the talent levet of Radulov. Does that look like a 45 pts player?

Nope/
Radu 70+ pts)

 

[mattihp]

Dadonov should make it just for the nick name possibilities.

 

[mattihp]

No, the KHL is better than the AHL. The KHL is the best league in the world outside of the NHL.

With little contest.

I have it as

NHL

KHL


SHL

AHL
Liiga
NLA

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

My list

Barabanov
Ozhiganov
Kovy
Gusev
Shalunov and Shumakov
Tkachev (ak bars) and Tkachev (admiral)
Sorokin
Telegin
Shipachev
Dadonov
Voynov
Korshkov

Barabanov-Yes, hopefully he signs with the team that employs his line mate from last season.
Ozhiganov-Think he can be the next Zaitsev out of CSKA
Kovy-Don't think he's coming back to the NHL, but he's been much better this season
Gusev-Does Tampa Bay even know he's good at hockey?
Shalunov and Shumakov-I wonder if they'll sign with the same team
Tkachev (ak bars) and Tkachev (admiral)-AK Bars Tkachyov isn't ready, Admiral Tkachyov might be ready
Sorokin-Would prefer he doesn't play in the NHL, unless the Isles trade him.
Telegin-Not so sure how well he'll do in the NHL
Shipachev-Yes, a lot of fans don't know how good he is. I think he'd be a top 6 player.
Dadonov-Yes, although I don't think he'd be more than a middle 6 player.
Voynov-Laws are laws. Doesn't belong in the NHL.
Korshkov-Not ready yet

You forgot to add Shestyorkin. I think he's going to be Hank's replacement in a few years.

How many points would Mozyakin score if he played in the NHL? A lot of people think he couldn't play in the NHL, but he's so talented that I think he would score 50-60.

 

[PsychoDad]

I hope Filatov has a great season after finally getting his head straight, and comes for a PTO next year, mbe with Las Vegas, and makes it to the NHL as a 20-30 50pts player, mbe with some time in AHL.

 

[Atas2000]

My list

Barabanov
Ozhiganov
Kovy
Gusev
Shalunov and Shumakov
Tkachev (ak bars) and Tkachev (admiral)
Sorokin
Telegin
Shipachev
Dadonov
Voynov
Korshkov

NONE. I want russian NHL players to come to the KHL and make the league better.

Why would I want KHL players to go to a foreign league?

 

[Atas2000]

mbe with some time in AHL.

Why would a player in his right mind even consider such an option while being a regular in the KHL?

You are not talking about a prospect here.

 

[Atas2000]

Dadonov should make it just for the nick name possibilities.

He has 55 NHL games under his belt.

 

[hagelin1381]

Sadly I don't think Voynov is ever going to come back.. But Russian players are so fun, they should all come over

Yes, that's the consensus when ranking the top pro leagues in the world. There is a significant drop between the NHL and the AHL. KHL ranks 2nd because of the top end talent, they have many guys who can play in the NHL.

 

[Firsov99]

Telegin-Not so sure how well he'll do in the NHL

Considering how well he played in the WC, he is pretty much a lock to play well in the NHL.

 

[Nose Face Killah]

Daaaaadonoooooovvv

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Considering how well he played in the WC, he is pretty much a lock to play well in the NHL.

I'm talking about his role.

He's not a big scorer.

Are you really bringing him over here on an ELC so he can play on your 3rd or 4th line? Why is he taking a pay cut to be a 3rd or 4th liner in the NHL?

It makes a lot more sense for more skilled players, not for a player like him.
