Prospect Info: Alexander Romanov - Part 7

[Halakitlikethat]

I'd say an NHL comparison of who can be similar to would be Dmitry Orlov. Physical, can log lots of minutes and hopefully can put up 25-30 points.

I was thinking him as a comparison as well, not just cause he is Russian, but seems to play a similar style. Maybe a guy like Hjalmarsson as well

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

What is a good comparison for him? I don’t see him being a huge point producer or PP QB but see him being a real well rounded , top 4 D

Other GMs compared him to Doughty

Niklas Kronwall.

The skating, the hitting abilities, the outbreak passes. It's just... him.

Or before him, vintage Konstantinov, who had underrated offense.

It would be fun to dream big and invoke Ray Bourque, who was roughly Romanov's size, but those are big skates to fill.

 

[Wats]

Maybe I'm misremembering but they were pretty hyped about DLR.

We should never mention Ray's name when talking about Romanov.... Not even in a dream scenario

Hey guys! Did a little video on Romanov today and what we might be able to expect from him! Love getting the old HF feedback! Cheers!

 

[OB5]

The Habs about every prospect: He's good but he's not ready. He needs to develop more.
The Habs about Romanov: He's going to be in our opening night lineup and will be an important part of our team but no pressure but expectations are high.

Except to be fair we have the depth for him to be in our bottom pairing on a better team than we’ve had in years. He won’t be left to the wolves.

Kulak his ideal partner?

I'm honestly looking forward to the rustled jimmies the first night he's sat in favor of kulak/mete. I miss the salt

 

[26Mats]

Well I was NEVER, not for a single second, hyped about "big body, but no offense" DLR.

And I'm hyped about Romanov. But I imagine you're looking for more assurances than that.

Yep..but DLR was not dominant in the world juniors.

Romanov was named the best d of the tournament...at 18 years old ...

 

[crosbyshow]

I repeat what I wrote already..

Romanov will be a fan favorite early on because of his:

Grit
Great gap
Mobility
Charisma
Speed.
Attitude

He is the kind of player that the puck always find him.

In a normal season of 82 games..he would start on the third pair but finish with Weber.

Yeah well Poehling was MVP.

Such a different game.

I'm just scared they're pumping his tires too much.

 

[Big Empty]

This video is from a few months ago but Romanov seems like he’s going to be a fan favourite. Great personality. Excited to see what he can do.

 

[Rico Suave]

He just posted a story on instagram that hes on hes way to canada with the wifey

Habs must have told them to come now so they can quarantine. Not bad.

Did not know he got married but at least he won't be roaming around Montreal, lol.

 

[Habs]

Jesus, what did Romanov do to you?

 

[Habs]

Except to be fair we have the depth for him to be in our bottom pairing on a better team than we’ve had in years. He won’t be left to the wolves.

I wouldn't put it past them to go 'full on Mete' and throw him with Webs first game. What could go wrong, eh Vic?

To be fair that worked well
