Prospect Info: Mikhail Sergachev 9th Overall

[Lebowski]

Is he automatically are best prospect?

Im at peace with this pick. Was hoping Nylander would drop.to us. I was debating between him and Jost at this point.

... By far.

So sad that we missed Keller, though. Phoenix coming out of this draft with him and Chychrun... Wow.

Jason Gregor just tweeted that he's hearing that Mikhail Sergachev would have been the pick if Jesse Puljujarvi didn't slide to 4th. Take that for what you will. He's the best D in this draft class, he's got HUGE upside.

Incredible pick.

He's by far our best prospect.

Not really.. I'm not sure if he sits ahead of McCarron or Scherbak

Incredible pick.

To be quite honest...

How can anyone be confident who's going to be the best defenseman out of Juolevi, Sergachev, Chychrun down the road? You can even throw Bean and McAvoy into the mix as well.

Good question, I think yes, although I've not seen a hole lot of Juulsen.

I've never been high on McCarron to begin with.

 

[Lebowski]

I don't think so. I don't think it's even close.

I watch a ton of junior hockey, from what I saw, he looked like the best, most ready D in the draft, him and Juolevi obviously close.

I'm in love with his game, he completely controls the ice, very strong at both ends of the ice.

 

[Deluded Puck]

Love what I've seen of him... High risk, high reward though, I keep reading, hope Therrien is gone by the time he is ready.

 

[Ohashi_Jouzu*]

Yeah, seriously.

First year playing OHL defenceman of the year I would say at this point he's ahead of them.

 

[saintflannel]

And Datsyuk.

 

[OnTheRun]

Today he is, no doubt about it.

But he will need to learn how to play farther from the circle in the O-zone, a D going down low is not tolerated in these part. He can be quite nonchalant at time that's also something not tolerated around here.

I don't see any middle ground for him with us. He either get through like a hot knife in butter or it's development hell and he get traded for scrap in ~4years.

Here come the Habs fanboys who haven't followed any of these prospects for the past 1-2 years.

Please tell us how Sergachev is better than Juolevi and how he's the best dman in the draft, please bestow upon us your knowledge!

Not disagreeing with you here, but Scherbak was the rookie of the year of the WHL in his draft year.

 

[TheLastShift]

This makes subban expandable /s

No. Subban is a Right Shot.

Here comes the wannabe scout that thinks his opinion is a lot more important than it actually is.

 

[Price is Wright]

Watched him in Windsor. He will be better than Fowler. Better than Ellis.

i'd rather comment on something i have knowledge about instead of talking out of my ass.

if that rubs you the wrong way because youre a Habs fanboy and we picked a player that i dislike then so be it, no need to be salty tho.. think about your blood pressure!

i've been saying the same things about Sergachev well before he got drafted, do you want me to be all happy now and hop onto the Sergachev fanboy bandwagon? that isnt gonna happen

The irony of it all is that you were Sergachev's biggest fanboy around what... Three months ago?

 

[GallySquared]

This is kinda amazing...

I remember someone pumping Sergachev's tires constantly a while ago. I thought it might have been him. This is hilarious.

 

[Kraken Jokes]

I absolutely love this pick! It was between him and Jost, who I had ahead of Juolevi, Keller and Nylander (all taken ahead of him). FYI, Brown is much further down on my list, I see him as a project.

 

[yianik]

LOL, go get them Sergachev.

i saw him play and changed my opinion, so what? anywho i'm not here to argue with people, we'll just have to see how he turns out in a few years (and we can pick this argument back up).

if you're happy with the pick that's fine.

 

[GoodKiwi]

I don't pretend to know anything about Sergachov, so can someone who's seen him answer a few questions I have?

Does he use his size?

How is his shot?

Who do you see as an NHL comparable should he pan out?


Thanks in advance.
