2022-2023 CHL/NCAA/Euro Prospects Thread

Camel Clutch. It was an Iron Sheik move. Unless Slaughter had a Cobra Clutch that I forgot about?

Oh course he did, that was his sleeper hold thingy, supposedly from the marine corp, hence my joke You might remember him mostly from his run in the early 90's, I don't think he did it then.

Slaughter's Cobra Clutch was like the Million Dollar Dream.

Although Slaughter also used the Camel Clutch as his finish:

Reinbacher is coming to camp even though his team is already in exhibition?

I believe he will. I think Hughes mentioned it. It does make sense, since he's signed to an ELC, they will give him a chance to make the team.

There are a few preseason games today.

- Kostenko is playing now with Khimik. He has an assist so far as they're up 5-3 in the 3rd period.

- Nurmi @ 11:30AM ET (he's listed @ 1LD)
- Engstrom @ noon ET. They're playing against Vaxjo, but Eriksson is with Team Sweden.
- Reinbacher @ 1:30PM ET. I imagine he's still there and hasn't come to Montreal yet.

- Quebec Remparts are playing against Drummondville @ 7:30PM ET. So far, since the regular camp has started, Miller hasn't dressed yet for a preseason game. So it will remain to be seen if he will tonight.

Reinbacher wasn’t playing today. Either he’s already in Montreal or he leave very soon.

Miller is in as backup tonight. They're testing the other goalie as a potential #2 by starting him.

Was a bust yesterday and now the next Zetternerg

Zetterbust.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Quentin Miller played the last 20 minutes of the game. He gave up 2 goals, including one on a penalty shot by Ethan Gauthier. 8 saves

Volokhin with a shutout in a preseason MHL game. Hard to judge the level of competition especially in pre season but has started the year off splendidly. Any chance he gets called up to VHL?

 

[KevSkillz4]

I'm really intriguing by all 3 G's selected by Habs in 2023 draft!

I don't see how you keep him down if he carries those stats forward.

I don't see how you keep him down if he carries those stats forward.

You just got to hope that if he does move up, that he's given the requisite number of starts to keep progressing. It wouldn't be ideal for his development if he's promoted just to cheerlead from the bench.

If I had to guess, I'd say he will stay in MHL because it's Russia.

 

[Goldenhands]

From what Ive seen, Volokhin looks ready for the VHL, but as @bopeep said, it would be useless to send him there as backup, better play a ton in MHL. He is only in his D+1 , nothing hurry.

Technique seems pretty good, he has a nice modern pro goalie frame too. They're some potential there IMO.

Was just coming to comment.. he's also got a few highlight reel saves from his athleticism.

Really nice gamble, those feet are great and he gets a lot of power down low in his stance. A lot of impressive blocker saves in that video too.

Would be funny if he's the one that pans out.

 

[bopeep]

No points today for Bogdan Konyushkov as his team lost 2-1, but he was playing on the first pairing and the other thing that I noticed was an "A" beside his name on the scoresheet. Now it may just have been a situational one time decision but I think it speaks to how highly his team and coaches regard him, which is impressive given that he's only 20 years old.

Given Russia's track record with goalies lately, we should be drafting more of them!

His coach is Igor Larionov, Martin Lapointe mentionned post-draft that he chatted with his old Red Wings teammate about Bogdan and that he got great feedback on his character / work ethic.

Kapanen listed at 2C for KalPa today in their preseason game. They're playing @ 11AM ET.

Engstrom and Rogle also have a preseason game @ noon ET.

Vaxjo (Eriksson) is playing a Champions Hockey League game @ 11:30AM ET. There is already a CHL thread for this: Prospect Info: - Champions Hockey League

Seems par for the course for goalies, they come out of nowhere. The « dart » way of drafting might be the right course of action for that position.

What I find would be funny is if all of Fowler, Miller & Volokhin work out, when initially, almost everyone was upset they used 3 of their picks to take 3 goalies.

Remember when they took Romanov in the 2nd round? Everyone was like "Who?" and "WTF?" when he ended up being a fan favorite and ended up having enough value that Habs were able to get a 1st rounder for him.

Far from KHL expert, but I think giving players a letter that are young at any time might be a rarity.

Engstrom @ 1LD for Rogle's game.

Happy to see the coaches know they have a pretty good player on their hands despite the young age

Question tho, is there a reason on why Reinbacher was "called in" for Training Camp and not Engstrom by chance?

Reinbacher is signed to an ELC. Engstrom isn't.
