Rykov will be playing on the first defence pairing with A.Belov against Norway in about 20 mins.
Cormier has had some big games of late.
Figure he squeezes Appleby out of Bing next season?
Thursday's OHL Activity:
Marian Studenic - 1 goal, 1 assist (PP), +1, 3 shots, 1st star in Hamilton's 5-2 win at North Bay
*now has 30 points in 31 games (had 30 points in 58 games last season)
4th in rookie scoring. Hard to believe he wouldn’t have earned a spot in camp
I don't think either are NHLers
But possibly Cormier supplants Appleby in Bingo
Even if he's a bust, I can think of worse players to take a gamble on in the 4h round.He also answered a question about Big Popy and didn't sound too optimistic on him.
So ECHL?Yeah don't rush Cormier, arguably they hurt Blackwood rushing him to the AHL too soon.
Bob McKenzie mentioned our Zaitsev as the guy who should shock everyone (In a good way) from Russia's WJC team this year on his podcast.
He also answered a question about Big Popy and didn't sound too optimistic on him.
I thought he said to keep an eye on Malestiv?
McLeod had a pretty quiet WJC last year, so maybe they are basing it on that?Reading the Canada WJC thread and I get the impression they really don’t think much of McLeod, though HF always has a bad habit of relying on draft pedigree and hype to rate prospects.
In other news I saw that Joey Anderson has been lining up as America’s 1C in camp. I didn’t even know he played center.

That could be the point.LOL, he barely got any ice time.
McLeod was stuck behind some top centers like Strome, Dubois, Barzal last year, but seemed to do well with the ice time he got. I think he'll win some fans this year.
