C Vladislav Kamenev (2014, 42nd, NSH; traded to COL)

[Atas2000]

And here we go. So NHL ready... not.

 

[Tralfamadore]

And here we go. So NHL ready... not.

Wouldn't go that far. He looked alright in the limited time he had. Was just put in sticky spot. Not a full on suicide pass but definitely a tough position. Orpik made a great clean hit as well.

I thought the AHL prepares players for the physical small rink games.

Point being: there he is again far away from a NHL roster spot.

Nothing quite prepares you for the speed and physicality of the NHL.

What is this nonsense?

Ohhh wait. I remember. Had he stayed in the KHL, he'd probably be a PPG player by now.

He would've just walked around Orpik there. Maybe even rocked Orpik while maintaining possession, before scoring a highlight reel goal.

Not even that it was just a great hit and a sloppy pass that set him up for it. I know atas has his agenda, but this is a really silly moment in which to push it. The kid was looking good until ending up on the unfortunate end of a ridiculously hard clean hit.

That's overrating the NHL. I've seen more physicality and speed on international level. Also if nothing could nobody would be in the league.

It's a tough break for Kamenev obviously.

Had he stayed in KHL Orpik would've just bounced off him, like little boy.

 

[Jarey Curry]

Is Kamenev alright though?

 

[Foppberg]

Is Kamenev alright though?

Yeah he's fine, just a broken arm.

 

[Jarey Curry]

Yeah he's fine, just a broken arm.

Oh my god... f*** Orpik

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Stick to the topic please.

 

[Jarey Curry]

All the young stud centers who was supposed to take Duchenes role after he's traded get wrecked except wildcard Kerfoot

 

[Caser]

Returned from injury with 3 assists in AHL game.

 

[tigervixxxen]

He was fantastic in his return after being out 4 months. I'm not sure what I expected but he easily surpassed my expectations. That highlight sadly doesn't show the entire shift he was beastmode including holding the puck about 20 seconds down low. He's gonna be wearing an Avs sweater real soon.

Is he playing C in the AHL?

 

[Tralfamadore]

Super excited to see this kid in the NHL again.

He's looked fantastic - his playmaking traits are awesome, especially his passing skills, but his two-way is insurmountable and plays a prominent role on the PK.

 

[Ivan13]

He'll be a great player for us down the road.

Good to hear. It took too long though for my taste for some people to realize. That path through the minors is such a mudfight, so often unnecessary in my eyes. He's had that potential all along.

Not everyone can transition to NA ice quickly though, sometimes time in the minors is necessary . In Kamenev's case though he had some bad luck with injuries etc around the time of his NHL callups, if not he would have been there earlier.

Exactly. That bad luck injuries hurt your chances of being noticed and you have to prove everything anew. Still think he would have been much better off with MMG all those years.

Yup, no one gets injured in the KHL
