Prospect Info: LW Viktor Neuchev -- Taken 74th overall in 2022

Now please sign Novikov!

It has to be inevitable. Baker said he refused a new KHL deal already

Could be good for Kisakov next year as well having more Russians in Rochester.

Kisakov is going to deserve a lot of credit for the transition Neuchev and Novikov make. He came over alone…which is a hard thing to do. New country, language barriers…not to mention the leap in competition. Now he can help those guys a ton and it will be much easier for them

It might make Kisakov a little more comfortable also having some of his countrymen here. Could see those 3 living together and adapting to the new environment together if all 3 are here.

Pilut probably also helped. I assume he picked up some Russian while playing in the KHL.

Sooo..... he isn't very good at finishing.

As long as they aren't like the Russians in an @Old Navy Goat story

Love this response from the kid. Bodes well for his future.

Anybody know if he’s ever mentioned his height? Some places still list him at 5’11 (including the KHL website) but others have him at 6’2.

This probably doesn't help but I've seen him mentioned at 6'2" several times recently.

 

[Slangston]

No way this kid is 6'2.

 

[Matt Ress]

No way this kid is 6'2.

It doesn't look like it but the hype has to be coming from somewhere

 

[Gabrielor]

Settled once and for all. He's 5'10"

He has no club? The hand placement is horrible. He's not golfing. He's a hack. I'll take him.

Golf is not popular in Russia

And he's doing it in the rain. For someone likely new to the game, that's a champion right there.

Golf without being drunk on vodka is not popular in Russia, you mean :p

 

[Old Navy Goat]

Russians I know prefer good Whiskey or Bourbon to vodka when given a choice. My liquor cabinet used to be raided whenever the Siberan girls would visit in Korea, even my buddy Cedric would bring over a couple bottles of Hennesey for their visit

No, not a very popular sport in general. The same fishing with or without vodka is much more popular.
