[puckMAN]

Dose Svechnikov remind anyone else of a young marian gaborik?

Pretty close. I think Gaborik has always been defined by his elite wheels more than Svechnikov will be. Svech is a fine skater, very, very good in his own right. Not like Gaborik though.

Maybe more like a full time winger version of Jeff Carter?

 

[Brucelenok]

2 goals tonight. 8 g, 2 a in 8 games so far.

 

[ViD]

Leads OHL in goals now

 

[Brucelenok]

Andrei is tearing up OHL so far. My expectations were high on him but he plays even better than I expected. 10 goals and 4 assists in 9 games.

 

[Kshahdoo]

He leads the league in scoring.

His shot looked fantastic, great vision on his first assist too. He has certainly come out blazing in his draft year.

 

[Kshahdoo]

He's getting used to a new team and league so I expect his statistics will improve. It's already 1.5 PPG after a cold start, and I won't be surprised, if he scores at 2 PPG level. Not McDavid level, but still pretty elite. With his shot and speed he can become Kovy 2.0.

Definitely can't skate like a young Gaborik. Young Gabby was McDavid fast.

 

[Tv9924]

So...how has he played? I see that he seems to be shaking off the slow start a bit. What are the expectations for him this season in terms of production?

5 points in 5 games. slowly busting?

Honestly impressive how quickly this hot take has come to look (even more) ridiculous.

How's Lipanov looking at C? Looks like he's got quite a few points, but eye test?

You should probably ask Colts' fans http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/barrie-colts-2017-18-season-thread-part-1.2206585/page-5

the kid will take a few more weeks to get adjusted. 5 in 5 isn’t that bad.

 

[Tryamkin]

I really don’t see the Marian Gaborik comparison, Svechnikov is gonna be more of a bigger force.

it's 10G+4A in 10 games now, so we have our reasons to be skeptical

wow he’s garbage

 

[Redder Winger]

I don't see Gaborik. More like a Kovalchuk type.

I don't see Kovalchuk either. Kovy's shot arsenal was much better. Andrei's shot has a quick release and is deceptive, but Kovy had no problems outright overpowering goalies with his shot and could score from anywhere with any kind of shot. I don't see that ability with Andrei, but what I do see is a more well rounded offensive game because in addition to possessing a good shot, he has fantastic hands, and lots of creativity that allows him to make plays as well as he finishes them.

Is Afinogenov a better comparison?

did u see svech play or you picked that comparison out of the blue

 

[Halfy]

I still think Kucherov is a comparable
