Haven't seen him mentioned much but Kaprizov with the hat-trick tonight, great player.
If he played in Canada or a bigger American market, he’d be a household name. He’s the real deal.

I think it’s more that with the divisional only setup a lot of fans don’t focus in on the other divisions. In a non Covid world he would be talked about as the leading ROTY candidate.If he played in Canada or a bigger American market, he’d be a household name. He’s the real deal.
Doubt it with his contractGardiner on waivers... high cap hit but someone will pick him up right?
There is no doubt that he is. A Panarin level talent.I think it’s more that with the divisional only setup a lot of fans don’t focus in on the other divisions. In a non Covid world he would be talked about as the leading ROTY candidate.
2 more years at $4.15 right? No one with term is getting claimed.Doubt it with his contract

Well, also consider it's been 5 years from that draft and it also coincides with a period of time that Russians were not coming over immediately. He burned an ELC year in the off-season without ever playing a game for the Wild and is doing his final ELC this season. Money was also keeping Russians in the KHL at that time.Astounds me that he went in the 5th round when he was already playing in the KHL at the age of 17. Likewise with Panarin going undrafted. Or nobody taking a late flyer on Gusev in his D+1 season.
The talent pool of teenagers playing in European pro leagues is so undervalued it's crazy.
That may be so, though regardless you're still getting a veritable 1st line talent that late in the draft.Well, also consider it's been 5 years from that draft and it also coincides with a period of time that Russians were not coming over immediately.

Clearly, he had the talent to come over a couple of years earlier, but was he making significantly more in the KHL vs an ELC contract in the NHL?
Any late pick at that point, most are likely to take until 22-23 before they make the NHL. Some KHL guys come over, some don't. Tryamkin worked it so that he came over and played the final few games to burn his 1st ELC year and then did the 2nd year on his ELC.That may be so, though regardless you're still getting a veritable 1st line talent that late in the draft.
Even if they all came over at age 22 I'd still be very happy with that outcome for a 5th round pick.
Saved us our 1st round pick this year which could be a lottery pick. YIKESKaprizov likely makes a big impact in that playoff series, we were fortunate they didn't allow him to play.
Sutter tightened them up in a hurry. Montreal looks Colorado fast through the neutral zone against Vancouver but can’t even get any speed going vs Calgary.Flames punking the habs in back to back games. Shots 16-3

Brandon Sutter's father is Brent. His uncle is Darryl.I guess that old Calgary coach was Green level dud, cause Sutters dad seems to be getting everything out of that team. I predicted them to win the division at the start of the season and then as the season started saw i was wrong but who knows now if he can get them to compete to Torontos level
Always reminds me of JD Burke going off on Benning on Twitter a few years ago...Burke lambasted Benning for picking Myers over Gardiner..until he clued in that Gardiner was a LHD (not right)....The twitter posts were quickly deleted.Gardiner on waivers... high cap hit but someone will pick him up right?
And Calgarys coach is Darryl Sutter. Gotcha, my bad. UNCLEBrandon Sutter's father is Brent. His uncle is Darryl.
Our forecheck is juvenile. We send two and three guys deep even when the opposing d has clear puck on stick. It doesn’t work in theI think most teams look fast in the neutral zone against us, we employ this weird style designed to prevent the optics of the defense getting blown by on the outside. But all that retreating does is let them get into the zone with ease and build up enough speed in the neutral zone they can get on the puck first if they choose to dump it in. Very easy to play against.
