C/W Marat Khusnutdinov (2020, 37th, MIN)

[Kevin Musto]

Koose (like loose) New Dee Nov.

That's pretty much how it's pronounced.

Not.

The h is there for a reason. The Kh stands hor a sharp H like in spanish jamon as opposed to the silent H.

The U is pronounced like in "put". Russian does not have a distinction of short and long vowels, so it is not that important how long the vowel is, but it is still way closer to "put" rather than "loose".

That applies for both Us in the name.

The tricky part with the prnounciation is to not let the TD become just one sharp consonant as the T and the D are at the junction of two roots originally.

So it is more like: Khus(U like in put) - nut(same) - din(the I like in "pin") - of(as the V at the end is pronounced like an F).

 

[Caser]

Just a random thought: if the Habs draft him, one day we might see (and hear) Khusnutdinov on the same line with Khisamutdinov.

They got him the MHL again? Promote him to the VHL.

He'll be up at some point for sure

VHL team SKA-Neva hasn’t started the season in VHL yet. After 9/8 or a bit later I expect Marat to play in VHL.

I'd be very interested to see him play in the VHL.

Not playing in VHL game today

Marat Khusnutdinov — Most of the center targets in this range of the draft look to be North American skaters, but Khusnutdinov represents a European option. The native of Moskva, Russia is said to bring an appealing two-way game, with the ability to move the puck in traffic and a reputation as a responsible defender.

Flyers Draft Option: Marat Khusnutdinov Would Fit Their Mold

 

[Kshahdoo]

I think, he's overrated, I've watched a few his MHL games, and he didn't impress me like at all. Great skater and good stickhandler and that's about it, and hockey is a liitle bit more, than those two things.

I have the same impression. It's pretty boring to watch him, actually. He didn't seem very competitive at all.

What in particular did you find he was lacking? Which skills/abilities? And what is the chance that he'll be able to develop in those areas going forward, do you think?

Well, he doesn't click with his linemates, he does the most obvious passes, but as soon as a game situation goes complicated, he looks lost. He isn't creative with the puck, always trying to do everything by himself, I have a feeling, his IQ isn't that great.

He also has good hockey IQ, great PK. I see him as defensive forward, not as good offensively. Still , he is only 18, he can become much better in other aspects of the game. He could become someone like Zetterberg, but he needs to work on it. I wish him good luck and hope Red Wings get him in the second round

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He seems to lack offensive instincts, playmaking, and scoring ability. Those are the main things I would say he's not that good at.

He plays 200 feet, skates really well, can handle the puck. I don't think he'll stick at center, but should be able to play wing. He can probably be a bottom six winger in the NHL, even if the offense never comes. I don't think he's a first rounder, so I do think some overrate him, but I think he could become a useful NHL'er.

I watched one of his MHL games, which yeah that’s just one game, but I came away with the same impression. I don’t understand why some posters here are so high on the guy.

Yeah, I do see the appeal. 2-way player, some offensive upside, seems like he has a decent motor and certainly has a chance of being a very good player, but so do many guys in the draft. I'm not ready to join the church of Marat putting him in the top 10

 

[57special]

Guys who skate fast and can really stickhandle are an appealing watch.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Uh oh somebody let out the hate brigade

 

[Kshahdoo]

Uh oh somebody let out the hate brigade

Nah, I'm not from that brigade for sure, because I just didn't watch him a lot. Now I've been watching him regularly so I've formed my opinion on him.

 

[lilidk]

He is feature 3- 4 line center. Where should he go in the draft?
