I think Korostelev's skating is fine. The only concern that I know of from last year was his lack of concern of the defensive side of the game.
His not being selected to team Russia might have some political motivation. Much like the US likes NCAA or USNDTP players over CHL players. Koroselev isn't a kid that came to the CHL with the import draft, he left Russia during Bantam hockey to develop in Canada. The Russians probably consider that a slap in the face to their hockey development programs.
As for Korostelev, he has all the time in the world to work on his skating, i don't know if it's his technique or core and lower body strength but whatever it is it shouldn't really big THAT big of a hinder.
I'm pretty sure you guys said the same thing about Finn, Verheague, McKegg, etc.
For every Mark Stone who makes it with less than average skating, there's like a million prospects who fail because it's a skating league.
Not sure where to post but I was given Marlie tickets for tonight and I'm reluctantly going... Just curious what security is like in regards to bag checks etc? I heard they were ramping up security in certain leagues, wondering if they're one of them?
Thanks in advance.

Hockeys Future doesnt have a single Leaf from 11-50...
I am happy because I assume that means Marner and Nylander are both top 10 (frick yeah) but confused because I assume that means no;
Bracco
Johnson
Percy
Harington
Corrado
Dermott
Kapanen
or Brown in the top 50
Anyone else think thats weird?
They had Brown at 49 at the end of last year as he was one of the top AHL scorers, and has been just as good this year, plus a few guys will have graduated out of the bounds of being a prospect
Kapanen was #50 2 years ago.
Johnson had one of the best year ever in the SEL for people his age for the past two years, and is doing great this year.
Thoughts?
A lot of those guys would be in the 51-100 range, but there is also serious hate for Leafs prospects from that site... Just look at the rankings for our guys.
Don't assume both of Marner and Nylander is in there... Just watch.
What are you trying to hide?
