Geertsen

add Barron

Mironov

Add: Storm

 

[UncleRisto]

I'm fine with Mironov or Geertsen but I went with Grimaldi. Funny how it's him and all the rest are bottom pairing D. Add Barron and Henley.

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Add Elson

 

[tigervixxxen]

Tough call but I went with Geertsen.

Add Barron

 

[henchman21]

I'm still in the add Lindholm boat.

 

[AvsFan2123]

Add Lindholm and Petryk

 

[Murzu]

Add Lindholm

 

[Former Ladder]

Went with Boikov just because I prefer him to Geertsen for some things. My list is a little skewed with regards to Mironov because I question his desire to come to NA so I borderline don't count him as a prospect whether that is right or wrong.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Geertsen.
Add Lindholm.

 

[AdamCalderHero]

Went Geertsen. Add Lindholm

 

[StayAtHomeAv]

Add Henley

 

[AVS1819]

At this point I don't know how it can be anyone but Mironov. We don't know if he'll ever come over but if he did he's likely in our top 4 immediately

I don't see him a a top 4 D, that's why.

 

[henchman21]

It is always unpredictable how players translate from international to NHL ice. A lot of people though Belov was at worst a bottom pairing defensemen when he came over. He was significantly worse than that. So even if we think he has some safety to him, he isn't absolutely safe, and part of the issue there is the many Russians don't want to spend time in the AHL to translate their game. If he comes over, he will play in the NHL. It remains to be seen if he would stick.

 

[Avsblitzkrieg]

I went with boikov. I was up in the air with him and geersten

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Went Mironov again.
Any idea if he'll ever head over to North America?

 

[cgf]

At this point I don't know how it can be anyone but Mironov. We don't know if he'll ever come over but if he did he's likely in our top 4 immediately

Why would you think this? He's a fun player; who can skate, move the puck, and deliver some huge momentum changing hits; but I'm not sure he'll ever be an NHL top 4 guy.

 

[Tweaky]

Mironov, add Lindholm.
