Protas ends his series with 1g, 4p in 5g
Alexeyev has 0g, 1p in 4g and can advance to round 2 tomorrow

From what I understand from some reporting I’ve seen, Protas should be headed to Hershey. It sounds like some Visa/COVID border restrictions will prevent him from entering Canada at this point to join Prince Albert. Because of that he will be able to join the Bears as long as he can’t enter Canada.

Love to get him some games in Hershey!

Go Protas! Zerg it up in Hershey!

Protas will NOT be returning to the Prince Albert Raiders this year. But no one knows what this means: if he's allowed to go to Hershey or not. What a jumbled mess.


Aliaksei Protas Named “Best Rookie” In First Round Of KHL Playoffs

It is uncertain as to what the next step will be for Protas at this point in 2021. Prince Albert media has confirmed that he will not be returning to the Raiders this season, due to the logistics involved in having a player return from Europe. (He would need a national interest exemption from the Canadian government—much like incoming players and teams did for the World Juniors in Edmonton this past holiday season. Then he would have to serve a two-week quarantine).

It is unclear at this point if he would be able to report to Hershey. In a “normal” season Protas would not be eligible due to age and CHL eligibility requirements. However, because the WHL will not be allowing European players to return for their abbreviated season, it is uncertain if this allows Protas some leeway in playing in the AHL.

if the whl dont want him im sure the ahl will gladly take him

I say just suit him up for Hershey and see if anyone says anything.

Lapierre is clearly their best prospect talent wise. Not because he scores a lot of points but because of how he scores. The guy generates offense, not feeds off of someone. Protas and CMM are more of a complimentary pieces, not enough IQ to be a gamebreaker.

 

[DWGie26]

All of them are young and have some time. Lapierre needs to get a lot stronger to compete at next level (AHL). Watched Hershey play on Sunday and I thought CMM looked really good. I think he can play in NHL next year although i suspect he’ll suit up in Hershey and be first callup at Center. I’m a bit worried about Fever as he doesn’t look to be progressing. Pilon looks legit. I can see him getting a real look on right side with Sprong and can also play center.

A friendly reminder: Kovalchuk is impact player for Avangard.

So you need to take all good things Protas has done in KHL and consider it as not necessarily a predictor of NHL success.

If he can polish his game in Hershey this season it'd be huge.

 

[Rayquaza64]

Sounds like Protas is on his way, and Maclellan wants Alexeyev and Nardella to follow once their seasons are over

 

[Random schmoe]

Go Protas! Zerg it up in Hershey!

I get this reference.

Its always easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Protoss and the Zerg are two of the factions you can play.

Heh, thanks. Would have been 2-3 million years before I stumbled across that on my own.

If the archon "Power Overwhelming" isn't used after Protas goals when he gets to DC, it's a huge failure.

You must abuse additional pylons.

 

[Johnny Danger]

Garret Pilon seems to make a big step this year. He's having more than a point per game right now in Hershey. 16 Points. And he has almost nobody to help him (Sgarbossa is the 2nd best scorer with 10 points) ... i'm expexting Pilon to be called up soon.

any more thoughts about his development? Would be interested ...
