Prospect Info: #199OA - Hurricanes select RW Alexander Pashin (Ufa - KHL)

And now the other Alexander goes off.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I mean, I like Nikishin, but Pashin's probably my favorite Alexander in the system. Ultra-long-shot, but if he pans out, man could he be good for somebody in the NHL.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Pashin needs to put up numbers in the KHL before i get excited about him. Him not getting a KHL shot despite his numbers last season makes me skeptical

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

He’s a 7th round pick. Skepticism is warranted.

Would be great if he pans out though.

The commentary in the beginning sounds like one from a nature film documentary

[Kshahdoo]

His second 2-goal game in a row at 4 Nations U20 tournament.

 

[TheBigLetowski]

Tolchinsky 2.0?

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Tolchinsky 2.0?

We should hope not, no?

 

[HisIceness]

Tolchinsky 2.0?

Tolchinsky left the Checkers during a playoff run and couldn't crack the roster during the mediocrity era. I'd hope for better here.

Was Nikishin on the same team? It would good to know if he played with Pashin

Is Waddell not watching the game?? Lol.

After the first few minutes, he probably said f*** it, time to get ready for next year…

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

im really surprised we took a chance. His D has been lackluster and he cant even crack the KHL.

 

[Svechhammer]

Lol he was sitting near my parents. Must have put pen to paper in his office before heading down.

That's why you bring him over to the AHL and see if he can actually develop his game...it's not like there were a lot of true Hurricanes prospects in the AHL year (most of Chicago was vet-type guys)

I don’t think we’ll ever have a prospect heavy team in Chicago. If Chicago is going to foot half the bill, have a team of veterans that can slide in when needed / mentor the 25% roster prospects. Let the European guys marinate in their respective leagues.

One way or another we're going to soon need defensive prospects in the AHL, because I have to believe Chatfield and maybe Keane will be ready to step into the NHL next year in at least a 3rd line role. If they both do, we'll need some guys either moving up from NCAA/Juniors (Morrow, Seeley or Fensore?) or coming over from Europe (Nikishin, Kaski or Honka)

We’ll see Seeley for sure and hopefully honka too. Does Sellgren stick around? Plenty of questions on Chicago’s roster next season.

If our AHL team isn’t going to be mostly our prospects it’s the wrong situation. I don’t think of Pashin as an NHL prospect but he’s the type of guy I’d like to see there. Ours.

Sellgren is already confirmed as going back to Europe next season iirc.

We'll definitely need to beef up the blue line with quad A guys next season, which might be why we're looking at bringing in a few more kids up front.

Sellgren is rumored to have signed a deal with Lulea. Who knows if it just a negotiation tactic. He is probably traded and given a shot somewhere else. He’ll be the next Forsling.

I understand your point but…
1. As we pick later and later in the rounds, the probability of the quality of our prospect pool will go down. So they likelihood that our system is going to have a majority of prospects worthy of a contract is much lower.
2. To add to the lower probability, we take boom or bust type guys. We will have a lot more busts than booms, again lowering the likelihood that we have a bunch of contract worthy prospects.
3. We need guys who can step in and play a responsible 8 minutes a game for an undefined amount of time without ruining their potential. AHL veterans can be up and down as well. We’ll need a couple at each position to see which one would be more ready to step in.

I really think he might be...I didn't see him on Chicago this year but when he came late to the Checkers on their championship run he was a really steady, calm defender. Then coming over this year he started slow but was going strong towards the end. Make him #7 next year and if he doesn't stick he can go to Europe (like Gelinas, Lintuniemi, Cajkovsky, Fora, etc)
