2021 Draft - 4th Pick: Matvei Petrov (F)

[MettleMcOiler]

Steal of the draft?

 

[Cerebral]

I like the fact that he’s coming over to the OHL next season. If he looks good, it should be a lot easier to keep him over here versus trying to sign him away from Russia.

 

[MoontoScott]

He certainly has the right surname when it comes to Russian hockey excellence.

 

[Wreckus]

Really like this pick.

 

[Reginald Dunlop]

Weird walkabout at 90 but love the last 2 picks. Just imagine Petrov went at 90 instead and we will all feel better

 

[MettleMcOiler]

Right-handed Left Wing too, that is a rarity.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Skill guy who likes to shoot the pill. Yes please. Russian junior willing to play in North Bay Ontario has to be viewed as a positive. Diminished role on a solid Russian Under 18 club but he made a solid Russian Under 18 club. Like this sort of mid-round skill upside strategy being utilized the last couple of years. (Much better than the Groundhog Day throw shit against the wall, hoping, praying and failing to find a top NHL goalie prospect. That strategy now includes passing on the top bluechip goaltender prospect fall into your lap in round 1 and avoid it like plutonium. grumble grumble grumble.)

Get this guy to North Bay and eliminate his internet access to hockey ocean Cup celebrations in Tampa Bay and all Miami Beach eye candy.

I'm a huge fan of this pick. I'll be seeing a lot of him next year. And he's poised to get a lot of ice time on a very young, emerging Battalion roster.

If the Sharks send Brandon Coe back for his overage season, that potential top line of Matvei Petrov - Mitchell Russell - Brandon Coe could be one of the better producing lines in the OHL next season.

I thought you had a rest and felt better?

[Pass the Saitl Sauce]

I’m excited to follow more oil prospects in the chl again. Hope he comes over and his skill and goal scoring dominates among chl juniors

 

[snipes]

Loved this pick

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Loved this pick

After how high you were on Savoie last season at the draft and watching him kill it in the NCAA, I hope that Petrov comes in and kills it just as well as Savoie did last season.

 

[McDNicks17]

Glad they finally swung for the fences on a high skill guy.

Not a big fan of how many low upside guys they picked.

 

[MoontoScott]

If he's half as good as his famous name sake then he'll rip it up in the OHL.

Can't you see the HOF headline --"Extend Holland--Now!"

 

[MessierII]

This one seems like a steal

 

[Ritchie Valens]

The Russian Tikkanen!

 

[Oilhawks]

Sounds like he could be a steal. Nice to see them swing for the fences on most of their late rounders.

 

[Stealth1616]

The thing about this draft is who knows what would’ve happened if a season was actually played. Looks like a real boom/bust kind of guy. Possible that he could’ve had a massive breakout season this year

 

[Oilers in NS]

U live around that area?

Is he coming over?

It looks like he signed a three year deal in Russia in October.

 

[MettleMcOiler]

Dobro Pozhalovat' Petrov to the Oilers!

 

[TheNumber4]

Sounds pretty damn good for a 6th round pick. Wonder why he dropped so far, Russian Factor? Either way, I'm cool with it I wanted high potential, high risk in the later rounds.

 

[belair]

U live around that area?

Yep. From Northern Ontario. Get to see a lot of OHL games.

 

[belair]

Is he coming over?

It looks like he signed a three year deal in Russia in October.

Very good chance he is based on their Euro draft selection. They took a Russian defenseman with their first pick and passed on the second selection.
