I sent him an email 2 months ago (got his email address from the team when I reached out to them) and he said that there was a chance he may not play on the same team next season. I never expected it to be Rögle though. It's great for him. Going from Allsvenskan to SHL instead of HockeyEttan is a good thing

Didn't see it posted anywhere, but Georgiev is 2-0 for the Russian National Team in the Euro Hockey Challenge. In the same tournament, playing for the Russian Olympic Team, Rykov has one game where he was scoreless and even.

I don't think we have anyone else playing. Russia (National) has 2 games left.

Other than the Worlds, the last big thing, I think, would be the Carlson Cup.

EDIT: Also, the National Team is like the "A" team, and the Olympic Team is like the "B" team. So even though it's not a big tournament and some guys can't make it due to team commitments, it's still a nice feather in Georgiev's cap to be included in the squad.

Correct. Carlson Games (part of the Euro Hockey Tour) is the last tournament before the WC.

It's in Brno this year. Nice arena. Hope to get a good look of Georgiev and Kakko there. Maybe even Reunanen

Remember to stay 100 meters away from them per the court order

Yegor Rykov called up for the Olympic team again, playing Serbia, Norway and a "regional team" made up of players from SKA and Cherepovets, in St Petersburg

If anyone ever wonders why my numbers look a bit different for some guys than what you'll see on Elite Prospects or Eurohockey, it's because I only count statistics for legitimate, official tournaments, not these exhibition match things.

Is Yegor Rykov coming over this year?

 

[Harbour Dog]

Is Yegor Rykov coming over this year?

He said that he never knew if he was going to a while back in an interview. No more context than that.

Personally, I expect him to, but nothing has been verified either way.

 

[coz21]

Sorry I'm late on a Barron question. He had a more center-like role this year but I think he definitely projects better on the wing.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Is Yegor Rykov coming over this year?

Him being invited to the Olympic team is most likely one of the reasons he is still in Russia. That and the team not wanting to give up his rights. Unlike Kravtsov and Shestyorkin, who seem to be done for the season, Rykov is still playing so there are no negotiations yet

Georgiev stopped 18/20 in a 4-2 Russia win over Latvia. Euro Hockey Challenge.

FYI noticed today that Niklas Hansson,
RHD who'd played last 2 seasons w Dallas's AHL affiliate,
will rejoin Rogle, he had played 2 full seasons for them while they were demoted

Played with Lias Andersson in 2016-17, now Ragnarsson in 2019-20. Interesting connections

Any idea why Buch is not over there? I haven't seen any updates re. his health or post-NHL season plans and quite surprised not seeing him with the National team.

He doesn't have a contract for next year, so he's not risking it, in case of injury. Same for ADA and Pionk

Well, Pionk shouldn't be there because he sucks.

1st full season, cut him some slack.

 

[egelband]

Is Yegor Rykov coming over this year?

I doubt it. Frankly I don't think he's a priority for the Rangers. Hope I wrong but I see a gap between the Rangers brass and this board on Rykov. But I'm just going off my gut.

Rykov is still playing, so that would explain the lack of negotiations between the Rangers and Rykov.

Rykov is at least on par with Hajek. He’s taken one of the bigger steps in his development among all of the Rangers prospects this season.

Do you mean just offensively or defensively as well?

Georgiev getting the nod again for Russia today. Euro Hockey Challenge. Should be underway soon.

Reunanen not playing for Finland.
