Prospect Info: #36OA - Hurricanes Select G Pyotr Kochetkov

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I don't think either of them is even worth "future considerations". Maybe just "considerations", but that is about it.

“Traded for future considerations”

One year later

“You know what, we considered it, and nah, we’re keeping the 6th rounder.”

Now let me here you say way-ooh.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

Chicago Wolves pre-game saying Kochetkov could make his debut as early as tonight. Maybe he starts this weekend.

He's going to be fun

 

[DaveG]

1 game 1 win, 3 goals against on 33 shots

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Imagine if we had Petr and Pyotr... Freddie is a beast and very good but he ain’t much fun...

 

[Unsustainable]

1 game 1 win, 3 goals against on 33 shots

from what I read, really only 1 goal was on him

 

[tarheelhockey]

This is what sparked that exchange.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

I may have to try out AHL tv to watch him

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

I have not watched him at all in Chicago but the stats so far are very encouraging. 1.98 gaa, .932 sv%, 4-0-1 record

So is that a kill him order?

So what do we think, can Kochetkov meaningfully push for the backup job next year? I feel like strategically with 1 year left for both Andersen and Raanta if you've got a 22 year old who has dominated at every level you at least need to keep that possibility open.

I feel like he gets priority in Chicago next season, with him and Mak having the shot to take a spot after Raanta or Freddie leave

It'll be really interesting to see how it plays out. Before the Ukraine situation I figured he'd go back to the K next year but now I'm not so sure. I think he'll be ready to be a backup or 1b in the NHL but we do have 2 strong goalies under contract next season. Could trade Raanta maybe but I think it's more likely he doesn't get much NHL time next year. Will either go back to the K or be the main guy in Chicago for 1 year.

Yep, honestly half-way expecting us to let Lyon walk this off-season and then having Pyotr and Eetu splitting time in Chicago, with Pyotr probably getting about half a dozen games in for the Canes.

Warm and LaFontaine splitting time in the ECHL.

 

[LakeLivin]

A lot of people were expecting Raanta to be ded a good portion of this season, and he's not going to get any younger. And this season the Canes found themselves in a position where they needed to poach a G off his university team due to injuries, so I expect they'll err on the cautious side w.r.t. goalie depth next season. I certainly don't see The Borg letting Raanta go, but I expect that there will still be natural opportunity for Kochetkov to get enough NHL games to further his development.

MAKINIEMI I thought was also a potential big club Goalie.​

He’s been injured but what’s the current view re: him?​

Chicago is good but Makiniemi was outplaying Lyon when it was just the two of them.

The real question is when do we sign Mannella?

 

[Canes]

Not a huge fan of how we’re handling goalie prospects, IMO. As some girl once told me, you need to see as much rubber as possible to be good. Even if it’s the ECHL against the Nailers
