Prospect Info: Canucks draft C Dmitri Zlodeyev (6th Round, 175th Overall)

[Bubbles]

We need more veterans in that line up. I advocate bringing over our prized prospects in the early 2000's

Kirill Koltsov and Evgeny Gladskikh

With Lukas Mensator behind the net.

Don't forget Denis Grot and Markus Kankaanperä.

 

[Lindgren]

Pass it to Bulis has a piece just up on Zlodeyev's first couple of games:

Canucks' Zlodeyev named Russia’s best player in World Junior win - Vancouver Is Awesome

 

[Russian_fanatic]

That would be a home run for the Canucks. Chubarov was no slouch.

Chubarov was absolutely a gem. He was our best defensive forward, and great in the face-off circle. Zlodeyev high end potential would be 03/04 Chubarov if everything goes well.

On the topic of Chubarov I was disappointed we never got him back. I could have seen him being a strong Selke candidate in his prime and a consistent 20/20 threat. Dude was one of my favourite Canucks ever.

Tate Olson Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com

Wow, today I learned... if you click on a players draft position (ie Tate Olson was drafted 210th overall) it brings up a list of every player taken at that position.

I've used hockeydb so much for so long and never knew that.

(The best players taken at 210th overall? Henrik Zetterberg in '99 and Dave Taylor in '75.)

Love Chubarov. Do you know how his playing career ended?

 

[lawrence]

Crow Loved Chubarov. Thank the lockout if not for that, Chubarov would have stayed in the NHL.

Kirill Koltsov

oh man what a sleeper. Dude's was the 2nd most skilled player in the "organization" back in 2006. Only Nazzy had more skill. It's too bad he didn't give the NHL a chance. guaranteed would have been a solid number 3 dman, that can put up 40 or more points a per year. Mad skills.

 

[ChilliBilly]

Yeah, sorry I forgot that Palmu is slated to play 1st line wing when we trade Sutter, Motte, and Myers for McDavid.

Be realistic. As per the Canucks manual, we have throw in a 2nd in every trade.

Impeccable posture

Zlodeyev is this year's version of Arvid Costmar, late round draft picks who briefly shone on the world's biggest junior hockey showcase.

But are they legit NHL prospects? Hard to know until they actually arrive over here.

Yeah. Zlodeyev normally plays in the VHL, which is a men's league. Playing against teenagers in this tournament should make him stand out (much like Costmar last year), especially against Switzerland.

I don't think the average quality of competition in the WJC is very good, honestly.

The boys World U-20 Championship when hosted in Canada is like our version of being North Korean.

Zlodeyev back in action this morning (MHL)

4 point night (2g 2a) for his MHL team yesterday.

Yeah he's had real jump since returning from the WJC, and is seeing top line deployment for his new MHL team Spartak Moskva (albeit as a winger v a C). Let's hope he keep rolling offensively!

It's hard for me to get my hopes up just seeing MHL stats. Manukyan broke the record for most points and he's done nothing at the KHL level.

Fair, but you'd still rather his offensive game show progress vs stagnation.

Progress of course and I'm hoping that the increased visibility would lead to more opportunities at the KHL level.
