Prospect Info: [2018 - 38th] Alexander Romanov (KHL - CSKA Moscow)

[ImNeverWrong]

Lol, I love how people **** on this pick yet no one saw him play. Try to be open minded

Lol at you being open minded about anything this franchise does. Almost every move this franchise makes under bargainbin is the wrong one..all of us have the right to be a cynic. Quite frankly timmins hasn't shown any ability to successfully reach for a player.

 

[japhi]

If they think he is the best puck moving lhd left why wouldn’t they take him? Why would you risk what you believe is the best next pick so that you could maybe get him later? Risk management says you take your top next guy.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

literally who is this

 

[Dagistitsyn]

Should have taken Thomas.

 

[HespelerGreenFlash]

This is just not good value here. C'mon , this guy could have been taken with our pick in 60's maybe 90's. Color me underwhelmed again.

 

[1909]

literally who is this

literally who is this

The next Markov, I guess............

 

[1909]

Should have taken Thomas.

McLeod, Thomas, McIssac...... I am so impressed by the way they are ruining that team.

They just hired two new coaches _ Bouchard and Ducharme - who knows how to train and handle North American young talents..... They draft Europeans we won't see before 3-4-5 years..... Last year Ikonen instead of Morand. The story goes on.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

I had him at #143... I guess I was higher on him than the scouting agencies.

 

[Spirit of 67]

A Tsar is born.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

The Bergevik Revolution...

Alexander was the last Tsar

 

[vokiel]

Bunch of Forum players saying it's a bad pick.
You don't and arent Scouts. THey picked him for a reason.

Obviously the wrong reason!

 

[Miller Time]

Can't comment on the pick itself, and overall Timmins has consistently led one of the better draft rooms in the league, so I tend to trust his approach....

But unless they felt strongly that another team was this high on him, yet another fail at the GM level...

Its like MB has no concept of what the role and no ability to strategically manage his assets.... When you know you're going off board, you work the phones and move down to add assets in the process. Pretty simple, too complex for him it seems.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

I remember all the times people said we 'won the draft' because we got all sexy picks. Years later we have worst prospect pool in the league. So whatever, that means little.​

 

[Adam Michaels]

Amazing how this prospect has 3 pages already and none of the other ones picked today haven't had a 2nd page yet.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Romanov was clearly a target. A LD with tremendous talent, he might seem like a reach, but we clearly did our homework on him and liked him a ton.

 

[yoteshot]

Listed at 5'11" on EliteProspects, but he is taller than Louis Jean so obviously taller than that...

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Romanov was clearly a target. A LD with tremendous talent, he might seem like a reach, but we clearly did our homework on him and liked him a ton.

He seems to have been rated higher with us than with other teams but who knows, scouts don't watch games alone. All it takes is another team with interest in him.

[Runner77]

WTF are they doing ffs

 

[BLONG7]

This lady, is beyond famous now...lol

This is the face we all made, when Therrien was extended...

 

[cphabs]

i'm literally done with this organisation ran by a bunch of ****ters, you're ****ing chance to refill your ****ing prospect pool and you **** it up

Romanovs ruled Russia for 300 years

Till the Cossacks jacked them and Poland up...

 

[ahmedou]

Ranked #146 in the Nhl Network Prospect.

"Supports the rush well and has very good shot. Smooth skater. Plays with confidence."

 

[Wats]

Romanov was clearly a target. A LD with tremendous talent, he might seem like a reach, but we clearly did our homework on him and liked him a ton.

Eventually some player this regimes scouting staff likes more than other teams will pan out...

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

is this Black widow brother?

 

[Toene]

Am I the only one happy with the pick?
