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

[Spearmint Rhino]

Yeah I'm not too excited to hear any reference to Emelin for a guy taken at 38, looks to be a reach based on most rankings

Jury out on this one, hope they were smarter than everyone else

 

[Adam Michaels]

Timmins in his press conference said he wouldn't be surprised if Romanov makes the team out of camp because he plays a pro game.

 

[sergejean]

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.

Thing is, we don't know that. They might have had good reason to think another team was interested to pick him earlier.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

 

[Weber Fan]

Would be nice to see him play with the Armada...

 

[Habby Patty]

I'm actually pretty excited about Romanov. I just wish there were more highlights and videos of him on youtube. From what I've seen, he looks pretty good.

 

[Redux91]

Well he's not 6"2 but he is most definitely not "small"

hope he pans out, would be a fun bonus to what i think was a pretty good draft

 

[sergejean]

Of course he does. The GM is in charge of the scouts and head scout.

Right... and Molson is ultimately responsible as the majority shareholder... so Molson made these picks...

 

[Viggo Mortensen]

Romanov is taller than 5'11''. Louis Jean interviewed the guy and he was much taller, Jean is not a midget like Renaud. I believe he also mentioned to someone he is probably 6'2''. Guess we'll find out more at the developement camp later

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Has he been drafted in the CHL? Anybody knows if he's coming over?

He's under contract in the KHL for the next two years per Timmins.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

i cant find any replays or highlights of this mini markov. Can anybody link me some plz? Thanks

There are full games with Russia floating around.

 

[calder candidate]

I like him but like most people think end of the 2nd round not a bad pick but we past on a few good...

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Right... and Molson is ultimately responsible as the majority shareholder... so Molson made these picks...

Lol at suggesting bargainbin doesn't have a role in scouting and who the habs draft. It's his guys that scout. It's him that has the final say. That's the job of a gm.

 

[Redux91]

Romanov at the World Jr. A Championship

Looks like Romanov is a liiiil taller than the 5"11 Denisenko

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Timmins also seems to love him, said the whole draft table was excited after the pick. I'm super intrigued about this, also mentioned that as soon as the LD was selected before their pick, they had to make sure they picked Romanov. The LD that was picked before was Jett Woo, seems like the Habs wanted to draft him as well.

Sounds like a chinese action movie star

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

His Grandfather is a legend in Russia and coached Markov to his championship this past season

Hopefully Marky doesn't put in too bad of a word for our GM

You can watch Romanov's games on youtube, on the MHL channel.

 

[NotProkofievian]

For example:

 

[Naslund]

What's his number?

 

[Ezpz]

When was the last time a Russian was on Team Canada? It's obvious this guy doesn't have what it takes to make it here.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Seriously?

That's not what he said. The context was talking about Mete and how some kids surprise and arrive early. He said that Romanov could definitely be one of those guys.

What's his number?

26.

Leadership confirmed. LET'S GO RED!

 

[Stive Morgan]

Just watched his interview. Kid looks like he's 13.

 

[Scriptor]

Seriously?

I never heard Timmins say that Romanov could potentially play in MON next year. Nope.

 

[Scriptor]

You can watch Romanov's games on youtube, on the MHL channel.

If it's Russian, you'll get a virus for sure.

 

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Mtl always drafted well Russian D. I will give them my blessing on this one
