C Mikhail Vorobyov - Salavat Yulaev Ufa, KHL (2015, 104th, PHI)

[Pyromaniac]

He was the most impressive player for the Phantoms in the series against the Marlies in the AHL playoffs. We had a stacked roster as well.

 

[Son of Petter]

A guy dropped him last week in our dynasty, no idea why. He got claimed before my waiver priority .

Picked him up in my keeper league. Dude has shown some major tools this preseason.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Hope, he'll become this generation Anisimov for Team Russia, with less scoring and more playmaking.

 

[Broad Street Buddies]

2 assists for him yesterday, by far our best forward of the pre-season.

JVR - Vorobyev - Simmonds, what a beautiful 3rd line isn’t it?

 

[Stizzle]

The Flyers acknowledge Vorobyev has made the team. He will be the 3rd line center.

 

[mercury]

I am loving the way our prospects are developing.

 

[Hockeypete49]

So happy for this young man. Love his style of play and his potential.

 

[sansabri]

Impressed by his first game. Kid has some serious talent.

 

[Tripod]

Oh...and for those non Flyers fans that come into this thread, his nickname is The Pimp. @Captain Dave Poulin will show you why in due time.

Pimp, Provocop and Gritty... that's a team to follow

I’ll be happy to eat crow if he becomes a good NHL player. I can’t say that I was a big believer.

He's a good NHL player

I always use a lot of salt and pepper when I eat crow. It helps.

 

[MaxV]

Let’s not crown him yet.

Unless he has some sort of telepathic powers that make defenders take out their own goalies.

Why he couldn't stick with the big club?

 

[Stizzle]

Why he couldn't stick with the big club?

He was sabotaged by our head coach, who actively hates most young players. Our GM, who is notoriously patient and does not make it easy for young players to crack the lineup said Vorobyev "broke the doors down." Unfortunately, head coach Hakstol decided to cut Vorobyev's icetime dramatically at the first sign of inconsistent play.

Hakstol, who loves washed up veterans, decided to start playing Lehtera more than both Vorobyev & Patrick at center. Lehtera then, over time, decidedly played himself to recent benchings. So, really, Vorobyev was just a victim of Hakstol. A truly terrible hockey coach with a long history of choosing veteran players, no matter how they actually perform on the ice, over younger players.

Voro played more than Lehtera in most of his NHL games and Patrick had only one game that he had less time and that's when he got hurt in the first period. Voro was sent down because Weal came in for Patrick during his injury and stayed in when Patrick came back.

 

[Atas2000]

Why he couldn't stick with the big club?

Because he's young and the team has older more experienced younglings.

[Bruckuss]

^ We don't need that type of skill, vision or scoring touch up on the big club. We have veterans, ugh

[Broad Street Buddies]

Keep going M. Fletcher, you are on the right path.
