I need to Chek to see who this guy is...

Likely to Torpedo N.Novgorod.

 

[TheWayToRefJose]

He’s going back to the KHL.

Pretty sad, had high hopes for him after he did great in the KHL last year. Just didn't seem to put it together in the AHL ever.

Am I mixing him up with someone? I could have sworn Sharks fans were pretty high on him, thinking he was going to make the team this year...

Chemelevski?

You probably aren't. Although him and Chemelevski are similar prospects, I for one thought Chekhovich would get an opportunity at some point this year. He had a great KHL season last year.

Chekhovich was a strange case for us.

Basically, after his junior seasons ended in 17/18 and 18/19, he came over to the AHL for the end of each season and just dominated. Along with putting up 105 points in the Q in 18/19, it looked like we might have something special there.

Then he joined the Barracuda full-time in 19/20 and looked genuinely lost on the ice. He went over to the KHL in 20/21 and had a great season (34 pts in 43GP), which made Sharks fans think he'd gotten his mojo back, only for him to return to NA in March and look marginally better than he did last season.

It's the right move for him, I'd say.

This is how I'm remembering him, didn't realize he struggled so much adapting after. Thanks to the several clarifications!
