Leave him in Europe. They seem to develope better over there and he needs more physical development without the worry of adjusting to coming overseas.

I figured so, but didn't see it, as the TSN channel in Canada cutaway to the Sweden Czech Republic game as soon as the US Finland game was over.

I meant like all the tools in his attack. Vinny had good speed but was very predictable offensively. Denisenko has many more ways in which to beat you.

Hopefully he gets an increased role on the team then. Curious if it would be a 1 or 2 year deal. If its 2 years, there should be an opt out clause after year one.
Well he has to earn it
Too. A lot going on we don’t see that decides that kind of stuff.

That's why i think he needs to come to n.a. next season. It looks like he hasn't really gained much strength and muscle in 1.5 years. We need to get our nutritionists and trainers working with him asap. Especially given that he's sub-6'0". He needs some serious bulking up. Once he beefs up, he'll be able to handle pro hockey better. Against teenagers, he shines. Against men, he's less than mediocre.

I'd rather make our AHL team better than his KHL team. Glad to hear he wants to come over.
Makes even more sense to re-sign Dadonov now. Denisenko can have a fellow countryman in a year or two to talk to or learn the ins and outs of NHL and the English language

Dadonov as English Teacher would be a one of a kind sketch I would like to see.
But agree on the rest Dadonov can help Denisenko in the Transition.
Germany loses to Kazakhstan this morning, so a third and deciding game will be played tomorrow in the regulation series.
Schütz is a -1, with no points, in two games. I haven't watched any of the two games, so I don't have anything to report about his play.

He wasn't particular noticeable in either of the last two games. He had a few chances in the second game in which Germany didn't get much going
But he moved back to the wing after playing center in the first games. Don't know how many though

Denisenko is noticeable tonight. I feel like he is impressively balanced kind of Dady: he looks like just an offensive threat, but plays a complete game!

Denisenko gets another shot at gold. Russia wins 5-4 in OT. He finished the game with 2 assists, but only got credited with 1 so far. He had the secondary assist on Russia 4th goal but hasn’t gotten credit.
Anyway, not putting up as many points as last year, but has looked really good. Nice to see him captaining the team to the finals.

He had nine points in seven games last year; so far has seven points in six games as far as I know so pretty much the same production?
Also was named one of the "top 3 Russians" of the tournament.

Yeah, now that I look he could end up pretty much the same as last year. Hoping for a big game from him in the finals.

I think he lost a secondary assist on the 4th goal as well. Given that he is on the second line, I'm pretty happy: he's playing hard and showing some good leadership.

IIHF is very strict with headshot and you get thrown out very quickly if it even close to the head. So it really is strange that he was back on the ice right after
NHL does a good job with the concussion protocol. We dont notice it as much .

Schutz with two secondary assists in a 6-0 win over Kazachstan. Solid performance by him all tournament (collected four assists in 7 games, good for 6th-7th on the team behind Bokk, Seider and the three expected/potential first rounders Stutzle, Peterka and Reichel). Got a lot of icetime here:
