Why is this kid still in U20? Thought he proved himself he should be in the next level up last year.

My guess is the U20 league started already and this is to keep him and some others playing until the top league is playing real games.

 

[GoldiFox]

Kochetkov was a backup again today. He has only started 1 out of 5 games. But the starter Ezhov got yanked again after giving up 4 goals through 2 periods. Kochetkov made 2 saves in the 3rd in route to a loss.

Why is this kid still in U20? Thought he proved himself he should be in the next level up last year.

He's playing his first men's pre-season game (of the season) today, in 4th line. 1st half of a back-to-back for Karpat.

Apparently he was rehabilitating a minor injury in late August.

 

[Lempo]

But, Karpat A-juniors is kind of stacked:



"The A youths had a practice in Raksila this morning.

What youth we ever had there."

(Pekka Rinne, Jani Hakanpää, Sebastian Aho, Lasse Kukkonen)

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Tieksola is playing on a line with Jussi today.

Further up the lineup than Janne Kuokkanen.

 

[spockBokk]

Not sure how much longer this will be “free”, but the general gist-Canes have a bunch of guys rated between 51-75:



Trying to recall from memory and listed from highest-rated to lowest here’s the listing for the Canes guys ranked throughout 51-75:

Drury
Keane
Puistola
Bokk
Rees
Bean
Suzuki

I guess there’s a whole lot of receny bias with Drury now rated as best rated Canes’ prospect (I cant think of anyone, outside of maybe Honka based on potential) that could be in their 1-50ranked guys. To me, Suzuki and Bean are the top guys, but that’s just my own crappy opinion.

Which players have been loaned to European teams? Is it Bokk and Drury?

Bokk and Sellgren.

Drury signed in the SHL on his own and has not yet signed his ELC

 

[Canes]

Hopefully we can get Drury signed. Signing in Sweden was sort of odd but understandable given Harvard probably isn't playing sports any time soon. But he's a Harvard guy so who knows what will happen.

I know we're running out of spots for the kid but I'm excited to see Sellgren's continued progression. Even if we can't find a spot for him, getting a potential B+/A- prospect trade asset out of a 6th rounder would be really good.

He's a professional sports contract guy now. Harvard hockey is over for him.

I like Sellgren's game. He is a solid defensively, a good skater and has an excellent first pass in transition. I can see him as a very solid 3rd pair guy who can slide up incase of injury.

Well this is probably all a plan worked out with the team. He’s from Chicago and we’ve presumably known for awhile our affiliate was going to be there. College is going to be weird for awhile, no need to hang around if the intent is to go pro. Sweden to camp, he makes it or he goes back to Chicago to develop with his family nearby.

Sellgren is a legit lower pair option to me. Hope they hang on to him. He’s likely just as legit an option at that role as Bean is.

Listening to xm yesterday Don admitted that they have decimated their forward depth with all the moves they’ve made and made it seem like forwards were a focus. We went pretty heavy last year with them already and they were talking about the first rounder and the draft overall at the same time, with the question he was responding to having some context to Askarov as well. He responded we took a goalie high last year to start off with so I’m not sure Askarov is our guy - though not a lot of people still expect him to get to us regardless.

I think we’re expecting to take a forward at 13 which is the obvious choice, and we may have another forward heavy draft in general. That wouldn’t make sense to me, our defensive prospects are getting a little thin imo.

 

[SvechneJerk]

What are the odds for Bokk making the team this year? Is he still another year out?

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

I think he has an outside shot of being a scoring LW for us. We would have to see a consistent threat in the DEL to say he would have a real shot.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Doastal, the Anaheim 2018 3rd round pick, won the starting job for Ilves. Not sure how many reps Makiniemi will get.

Honka has a goal and an assist in his 2 goals so far for JYP, averaging 16:40 . Puistola has a goal on the same team, averaging 12 minutes.

Drury is O’fer in his 4 SHL games. Im not sure what we are going to draw from his first year with European ice. Drury is getting around 17 minutes a game.

Sellgren has 3 assists in 3 games. His ice time was 17, 17:52, and 25:30, respectively. 25:30, wow.

Kochetkov still isn’t playing.

 

[Vagrant]

i really like his ability, but he needs to put some volume in the net somewhere before he's on an nhl roster. he torched the wjc and he did the same to the shl when he came back from it, but he needs some reps. he needs to beat a level

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Just putting this here because I didn't realize this until I saw a tweet today and maybe some people are as dumb as me.

The draft is tomorrow (Tuesday). Not Thursday or Friday.

Yeah I’m as dumb as you and came here to post something similar.

On the move again.

On the move again.

at least now he’ll hopefully get into some games in the SHL. No chance of that with the DEL season delay

Well needed. My team in Sweden, they really need some help, they are in last place after six games (some teams have 7-8 games played). DIF didn't do any signings after the COVID-19 outbreak, so they have been relying on some iffy players. Bokk should get a good chance in the top 6 and on the PP.
