Prospect Info: 2016-17 Prospects Thread (CHL, NCAA, Europe) Part II

[Ivan13]

Eliteprospects has listed Shvyryov as being in KHL. What are the odds he's a full time KHL player rather than splitting time between MHL and KHL?

I'd rather he plays in the MHL. He won't get enough TOI in the KHL, at least not playing for the 2nd best team in the league.

It's listed him like that since the first time I ever creeped him in June.

 

[henchman21]

I'd be surprised if he gets more than 15-20 games. Some will happen because of injuries, but he won't be a key player. That team has too much depth.

 

[UncleRisto]

Yeah, but he's sat out for now. It'd say if he played in the MHL.

 

[Freudian]

He was away on an international junior tournament when KHL started though.

It's a shame the VHL isn't more of an option for him until he can get a real shot with the senior team

Why isn't it?

 

[cgf]

Why isn't it?

A) I may be totally misremembering this, but I think it isn't clear what VHL team he could jump into. And, more importantly, B) the league is given a lot less attention/emphasis in the russian development model than the AHL is over here. Which means there's less talent spending time there and it's less effective at polishing players than the MHL ---> low level KHL team ---> KHL powerhouse model.

In shvyry's case I'm not sure it's the end of the world if he goes back to the MHL until injuries give him a look with the senior team...for one more season. His #s were incredible in the MHL last season, but I'm not sure that means he can't continue to develop there until that chance comes. But it would be cool if there was a more developed intermediary step, other than going to a lower level KHL team for PT.

First game?

First game?

This year? I think so

 

[henchman21]

Yeah this is his first game this season. Shyvy is playing 4th line LW.

Metallurg is having a bit of a rough start, so this is probably just a shake up getting Shyvy in the lineup... but a good start for the kid.

Yeah they're definitely shaking it up. Lotsa guys with nothing to show for. Hope Shiv can stick for a bit now.

Me too, but I don't think he will. He has only taken maybe 5-6 shifts on a pretty poor line.

 

[cgf]

Shvyry's just gunna have to score a goal a game until he gets put on a real line

He has enough skill to do so.
