The Monsters could use some help next year. Abramov and Dubois complicate things because they can't be assigned there, but Kolesar and Thurkauf can.
And yes, this is beginning to look like a bit of a "champagne problem" to me.

I think he's bigger than Andy but plays like Calvert... from what I've read from those that have actually watched him. People say he looks more like a football player, but still skates incredibly well.
I haven't seen much of him either (just YouTube highlights and stats), but in that limited viewing I suppose there were things that reminded me of Anderson, namely the physicality and the scoring touch. He also fights quite a bit. It concerns me a little that some of those fights were precipitated by things he did. He'll need to be careful not to get into trouble with his hits.

The "pain" of drafting well is that you become overcrowded. The good thing though, is you can flip those players for picks/assets that are more valuable than the pick you originally used on them.
Pretty crazy though. Dubois, Bjorkstrand, Milano, Kolesar, Abramov, Thurkauf, etc. all look to have NHL talent and we've still got the youngest playoff roster in the league by far
Before we pop any corks it will be good to see them produce in the NHL. No question the drafting has been very good on the whole
Kolesar looks like he knows what he's doing in that scrap. I font know if the other guy was just standing up for a teammate or if he is also a physical guy but that was perfect technique by the big guy. I've always felt with him I want to see AHL production first just because his style of play but right now I have 0 complaints about having so many prospects with little NHL space. Let's them develop properly in the minors and get in the right shape before being forced up to the bigs.
HV71 won game 7 in OT today.
Nooooo time for losers, 'cause...
We could use some more players who are champions in something.

The last few games, Stenlund moved to center from wing and had some huge games. SHL.se doesn't list his overall faceoff percentage, but he was over 50% in the last three games.

I've been incommunicado for a few weeks. Could this have anything to do with the NHL not playing in next year's Olympics? He is currently representing Russia in the Worlds, perhaps his KHL team says "re-sign with us for two more seasons and you can play for Russia in the Olympics next year...not so in the NHL".

Zaar is a fine player, but he won't make the CBJ squad any time soon. And I say that as a fan of his game. We simply have too many good-to-great wingers either on the roster or in the system and he's 23 years old already. Glad he could help Cleveland win a Calder Cup but it's in his best interests as a player to go back to the SHL and get some top 6 minutes. Maybe he'll garner NHL attention sometime later on.

Smaller actually, and not as quick. Slightly better hands and more of an agitator, really not a fair comparison to Anderson.

NHL.com lists Kolesar at 227 which I feel is closer to the truth. Kolesar is built like a tank. Whether he will use his size as well as Anderson remains to be seen but he is for sure a bit bigger. Just like some of the scouting reports say, he is a linebacker on skates

Elvis is in the house! I know Latvia hasn't faced the strongest opponents to start the Worlds and Elvis got lucky on a no-goal call vs Slovakia today but he has still given up just one goal in two full games. Statistically he was just OK during the Swiss League regular season but he really shined in the playoffs.
