Player Discussion: Yegor Chinakhov

I’ll throw in Guy Lafleur. Especially the way he moves in the offensive zone

As Obi Wan would’ve said “that’s a name that I haven’t heard in a long time.”

That’s quite impressive

Chinakhov is the best from Russians. Next is Voronkov. Only third Marchenko, I think.

There’s nothing suggesting Voronkov is better or more impactful than Marchenko right now

1. He can play center.
2. He can play in PK.
3. He is better in defense.
4. He has very good hockey vision, skill too.

Yes, he is not ideal now but was playing after injury, one needs a time to return his shape.

Until he’s shown it on a consistent basis, Marchenko is a much more proven and effective player

If you're saying he has the potential I agree. If he can get to that consistent 45-60pt range than I would agree. But Marchenko brings something to the locker room that I don't think Voronkov brings that can't be discounted too.

I'm just glad we have them all. I could see them being extremely beneficial if guys like Ivanov, Dolzy and Makarov make their way over in due time as well.

I'm more surprised that Jordan Staal is still in the NHL than having Vronk ahead of Marchenko lol. I love Vronk, but...

Chinakov is obviously awesome.
