F Daniil Gushchin (2020, 76th, SJS)

[Kshahdoo]

He's even smaller than Michkov...

Hence why he was drafted 76th overall and Michkov is projected top-5.

Should still be in the NHL tbh. Fantastic by play-driving metrics (best in that game) plus the PP goal in his one game with sharks.

You're a wizard

 

[De Montreal]

I guess it helps to have the farm team in the same city, giving him lot of ice time

Hell yeah. Throwing allll the playing time at him!

He actually played (and scored) in an away game with the Cuda against Coachella Valley.

BTW: he just picked up his first NHL assist on a PP with a nice feed from behind the net.

Yegor Spiridonov, Danil Bashkirov, Maxim Groshev, Zakhar Bardakov .. all those guys picked ahead of Gushchin at the 2021 WJC because they didnt dare travel to the North America

All these guys are older than Gushchin and are the utility guys, Gushchin didn't compete with them that year, but with guys like Gritsyuk, Chinakhov, Podkolzin, Amirov, Afanasyev etc. Not to mention that this team had NA-based guys and was coached by Larionov, it is hard to accuse him of being anti-NA. I could understand if you'd complain about him not making the 2022 cancelled WJC team though.

God I miss the WJC being a true best on best tournament.

Gushchin's schedule:

3/31 AHL game 1 assist
4/1 NHL game 1st goal
4/3 AHL game 1 goal
4/4 NHL game 1st assist
4/5 AHL game tonight

going to be his 5th game in 6 days tonight. Looks like they're trying to test his endurance?

Funny enough, his endurance was actually praised in juniors.

this seems a bit reckless for the Cuda to play him tonight to me. he was physical in the Sharks game last night, willing to push guys, create turnovers, and didnt get knocked down as much as Bordeleau

Correction in bold…

Edit: and there it is, 2 goals now, PADP

Gushchin with another goal and an assist in the season finale.

His stat line:

AHL: 67 GP, 22 G, 23 A, -18
NHL: 2 GP, 1 G, 1 A, -1

Great first pro season, really found his stride down the stretch. 13 g, 12 a in his last 25 games.

Will be an interesting camp next season.

[Patty Ice]

Gushchin is all kinds of good. His size is going to be a challenge for him but the ability is there.

 

[De Montreal]

Five consecutive games with at least 2 points, 11 points last 5 games

He reminds me of Cole Caufield offensively, shot not as good but still very good
