Pavel Bure if he was a power forward. Klimovich is going to be a stud. Is he a natural center?
the belarussian rocket?
i claim dibs on that nickname.

I'm half joking, he's a prospect. He dominated the low level competition, it is what it is. To criticize him for his skating while he's going through half the team is a little funny. Too much inside edge? Seems to be using it to his advantage, so I'm more than happy to applaud him and wait til he faces better competition.Except not this at all?
I agree. Coaches and GMs will say one thing but actions speak louder than words and European teams just don’t have much incentive to give valuable ice time to players who they know will be leaving.Based on what is happening in Belarus these days, Canucks were probably wise to sign him early and get him outta' there.
Abby Canucks or the QMJHL is probably the safest route now. The track record of 18-year old hockey players getting a decent amount of ice-time and prospect development in the KHL is marginal at best. No reason to go down the same path as they did with Podkolzin.

no, it's not. watch closely and notice how he loses speed during his second set of cross-over. When he skates in a straight line with no cross-over he lands way too much on his inside edge.
They dont provide them in Belarus?
This team isn’t in sleepy Utica any more, where people are lucky to catch a stream or some clipped hilights. Team will be under a microscope and fans will expect to see prospects play.
Nah. If anything Russia would have "gifted" the Sputnik vaccine. Or maybe even China with the Sinopharm et al.The western powers have a near complete stranglehold over the vaccine supply.
From all reports the strongman President running Belarus makes Putin look like Mother Teresa. Dissidence is being crushed and political opponents are fleeing the country.
If Klimovich is now in Bulgaria, he needs to stay there until he can get the first flight to Canada. The miracle to me is that Klimovich was able to grow up and play minor hockey in Belarus and still become a top NHL prospect.

Problem is actually delivering on vaccines in arms.

The actual problem with vaccination at least in Russia and by extension I think its fair to assume Belorus is that Putin and Co. have spent an inordinate amount of effort trying to smear and discount western vaccines which in turn has made the public sceptical of vaccination in general.well belarus has no reason to buy scarce western meds when russia is making satellite states sweet deals for sputnik the way they used to offer t64s
it is likely a not bad adenovirus based vaccine comparable to or better than astrozenica or j&j. they just did not test it to western standards so it is not a known quantity. latest indications are good though.
And this.Nah, the problem is the Belarusian population is quite anti-vaccination. The government dismissed the seriousness of Covid at first. Very little info was made available. Nobody cared, nor do many people there trust government institutions. Only when the virus became a problem did they start importing Sputnik. But the population saw the importation as a pro-Russia political ploy and didn't want (or trust) it. It's a disaster.
