Prospect Info: Alexander Romanov - Part 7

[Belial]

This pick is the epitome of this whole philosophy of drafting players with hockey roots and background. This guy was hockey 24/7 since he was born...

Just like Tinordi, Galchenyuk, Daniel Audette, Tim Bozon, Nate Beaulieu.... right ?

You enjoy yourself a lot more than me with prospects and stuff.

Share the background of all those dudes.

Pretty sure none of them would match Romanov's hockey-related background.

Is it unusual that the Habs have picked seven (you forgot Verbeek and Primeau) players with hockey bloodlines in the past decade?

No, there's so many of them... There's multiple every drafts, I just want to indicate it does not mean anything.

I agree, except for the Tkachuk family

Yeah, Belial stated this as if it's some new grand strategy, when it's actually been a reality for long, way before Bergevin. Saku's father is an ex-player in Liiga and coached. Valeri Bure's father was an olympic medalist. Price's father was a drafted goalie, ect.. Those are just ftom the top of my head, there are quite a few more.

You legit didn't know Romanov sat down Cale Fleury during bubble drills? Posters "who play it down" said well Fleury was playing the forward role which isn't his job, but... it was a good sit down lol.

We all know Fleury is a young rock out there. He stood up well against some pretty tough NHL guys so far. Playing forward or D, that was still a drill and Fleury doesn't all of a sudden loose his body strength cause he is a forward.

Romanov just keeps adding to his resume. However, He's going to have a very long break from playing hockey. Didn't play with us in the playoffs and when was his last KHL game? March? He might end up with a 10 month break. Longest of any other Habs? Wait, that's Anderson... his last game was Dec 14th of 2019.

Unrelated to Romanov but this is great news for Anderson. That's a lot of time to rest properly

 

[Habs Halifax]

Yes. He said he was 100% healthy and would have been ready to play if the Blue Jackets reached the next round. More time off helps regardless... We need his shoulder injury to be in the past with his 7 year contract.

But yeah... back to Romanov

 

[jaffy27]

oh wow lol

I love the reaction of the guys in the back.....they like dammmmn

It change a lot it was easy to see that he wasn't confutable he had his eyes on the puck and he was struggling with it. You could't had an easier target for a big hit

 

[Sterling Archer]

The thing that some posters are missing is that size isn't everything. There are plenty of smaller players that are very physical and can punish players with how hard they hit. Look at a guy like Kronwall, Kaspariaitis, Dustin Brown, Richards, Clutterbuck etc. are all 6' or less and could absolutely annihilate guys. The list goes on and on and it's always been this way with size playing little role in how tough a player plays or how hard they can hit.

Man would it be amazing if he can be as good as Kronwall.

 

[admiralcadillac]

Guy likes to hit? Bust

 

[Sterling Archer]

Kronwall is one of the players I think of as a comparable for Romanov.

 

[Vachon23]

I will go with a fun comparaison: Hamrlik with Franky Bou physicality
