Bowers and Kamanev will be really good bottom-6 players for us going forward. Something we desperately need, hilariously though they were developed by other teams but if that's what it takes to find that kind of quality depth then so be it.
I think Kamenev will be a top 6 forward... in the KHL.
Maybe he gives it one more shot next season, probably shatters every bone in his leg walking into the arena, and misses the entire season. Some bad luck, but his body didn’t seem ready for a long career in North America.
Bowers seems like the type of player who will almost immediately embrace and thrive with good coaching and systems. Regularly a favourite of Hockey Canada when he has been with them. A total coach’s player who will do a ton of important things out there.
Bowers has huge potential to be a great 3C.
