I'm surprised if Denisenko and Heponiemi still continue to stay in NA and dont bolt to Europe.

Maybe with Hepo. I think Deni has just been a bit unlucky with covid and injuries in North America

Hippo is too good for Europe. If he gets an actual chance, he will be a very solid bottom 6er with any team in the NHL.

If Denisenko isn't a full-time player with the Panthers by the end of the 2022-23 season (RFA year), I think he goes back to Russia.

Usually I'd agree, but with Denisenko (and other Russian guys), it's currently more complicated than just "best hockey situation" for them. Depending on where he stands politically, he might not want to return home, he might want to leave ASAP - or he might not care, who knows.

(We have this situation at work now - a former Russian colleague who went home about a year ago recently returned and is now seeking visa/asylum because she'd be persecuted at home for writing an anti-Putin facebook post in February. Her husband couldn't get out and is still stuck in Russia).

Deni is staying in Miami for the off-season it seems like. Possibly for injury recovery.

I don’t think we need to be worried about him: he got massively screwed by the two team set ups and Covid so I’m not writing him off her

Unlikely. IMO the talent is there, but he has played 19 games over the past two years due to injuries and stuff, and he is a late bloomer to begin with. I'd expect at least one full season in the AHL for him, possibly more.

I don't like the sound of "hip surgery"; hopefully he's okay now and it doesn't affect his game. We'll see.

Ya now that I read the article again, I forgot it was hip surgery...
Only thing scarier is back surgery or dreaded concussion(s)...

He wasn't really fast to begin with but his work ethic is one of his best qualities.
Just praying he has a healthy path for next few years, his toolbox is so exciting.

Off topic, but I always remember your love for Kinnunen and he's blossoming now, good eye LGC haha.

Is anyone else starting to feel like Nause is our best prospect? This kid looks legit. Dare I say he has top 2 potential?

Ah, the sweet times when I could spend the time following all our prospects including the 7th rounders...
From what I remember, some of Kinnunen's issues were that he couldn't score to save his life and that he was very lightweight especially with his height. Scoring seems to have improved from "nonexistent" to "very meh", and he still looks kinda skinny... I'd love for him to make it but we'll see. This year with Charlotte should be telling.

Hoping the trio of you, @Knighty Knight and I can rekindle the prospect info and keep all the posters informed of the next budding superstar with weekly updates.

You been busy with work it sounds like?
Hope all is well your way.

Knight Knight took the summer off...we should probably reach out to make sure his health is okay though...

Aww I forgot about the little babe but now that you say it, jogged my memory.
You get some mini Panthers gear yet?
Likely grow out of in months though.
Happy for ya, sounds like some chaos but good chaos haha.
