Breakthrough players in KHL 2017-18

Vote for Andrei Kuzmenko

edit: and Bryukvin

 

[SoundAndFury]

Yeah, the players who really are braking out at this point seem to be: Byvaltsev, Kuzmenko, Andrei Alexeyev, Bryukvin, Ilya Khokhlov, Padakin, Tolvanen, Vereshchagin, Khokhlachev, Shvets-Rogovoy. There are a lot of other players who are putting themselves on the radar but those are guys with both performance and numbers to back them up.

Byvaltsev isn't slowing down yet.

What do you guys think?

 

[SoundAndFury]

I think he isn't going to be playing for Amur in January. If some serious-yet-sane team gets him he probably plays 3rd line wing, 2nd line wing if it's something like Salavat. Really good player but not a first line talent offensively, also a wing rather than center if you have luxury to afford him there.

Like I said last year, he really reminds me the kind of players Dynamo in their glory days were built around.

 

[Johnny Danger]

any possibility of Byvaltsev playing in the NHL?

Very unlikely. SKA here we go.

any possibility of Byvaltsev playing in the NHL?

In 2-3 years, maybe. For now, very unlikely.

Isn't it obvious Kravtsov is here to burn down every village in the playoffs?

By Atlas2000's all time fav Galiev, who else . I like Lyamkin, he's progressed a lot in a year, hopefully he won't stop improving.

Galiev is not a 19y.o. kid and he makes teenager mistakes, boneheaded passes and giveaways every single game. He scores playing with the best players on the team, but I had to smirk, laugh or swear so many times just during the tonight's game at the arena on behalf of Galiev. And again, he is not versatile by any measure. You can't plug him ona 3rd line. There are 3-4 forwards who could easily replace him on his current line though, but they also get the job done in the bottom 6.

Lyamkin wasn't much of a story tonight, but he is a very promising young D-man for the top 4 for the years to come. Good pickup for once.

Shame on you for not knowing Anton Fedorov, our most loyal fan. He is pretty much a part of the team by now. If that's from yesternight's game you might find me in the background though.

I do know him, he's awesome. But that can't stop me on thinking about you
