Prospect Info: Daniil Chechelev, G, 2020 4th Round 96th Overall

[Kipper933]

He plays pretty calm, reminds me of guys like Lehtonen and Price in that regard. Good size, good athleticism.

Plays for a more if a middle of the pack/fringe playoff team in the MHL, so that's likely why he's more under the radar. Most of the Russian G's that get drafted play for the top couple programs.

 

[Flamesfan62]

MHL is a junior league. Russian AHL is VHL. He has one game there.

MHL is a much higher skill level than your average CHL team.

 

[Flamesfan62]

Might be a bust but goalies are a crapshoot. No issue tossing a 4th at a goalie. With goalies, you don't have the faintest idea until 3-5 years after drafting anyway, it's all about how they start translating to the pro game, so until they hit the AHL and play a couple years there, just don't know.

And remember, Lundqvist and Rinne were like 7th round picks. With goalies you just kinda draft some and hope lol

And Bobrovski. If we’re staying with Russian roots.

1 game 1 shutout

Flames site has an article about Chechelev and how they ended up "accidentally" scouting him during the covid lockdown (because of the Flames connection to the Sioux City USHL team, who did draft Chechelev, though he obviously never came over).
'I THINK ABOUT ONE THING: WORK'

Treliving looks at Askarov the Marvel. Dude decides he's going to go with the option with less fanfare in D.C.

This pick is AoK.

Is, "Don't get cocky" the correct phrasing to use for DC? For DC, is it just about getting to the stage of being ready?

[Johnny Hoxville]

I can't believe we drafted Hasek.

 

[Flamesfan62]

Guys playing out of his mind. Keep it up crazy Russian.

 

[Siignal]

If this pans out, wow, what a pick...

This is getting dangerously close to an optimism thread.

okay cold water time

- big ice inflates goalie stats
- MHL is just a junior league
- small sample size
- wins are a team stat
- he's a Flames goalie prospect

Same.

It was basically like a ton of meh reasons, then the last line was the straw that broke the camel's back in epic fashion.

He got his 10th win on the 20th and was rested last night. Hype thread.

[Tkachuk Norris]

Also 2-0 in the VHL, with a .970. The KHL’s AHL.

Jokes on us. Now that we have Markstrom, Parsons will rebound, Wolf will turn into a #1 and Chechelev is the next Tretiak but we'll trade him before he becomes that.

really we need Markstrom to be a starter for like 4 years. He can be a 1a/1B guy with whoever emerges out of that group for the final few years. Hopefully your scenario comes to fruition

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Would really like to see Parsons compete with Zags for starter in th AHL, whenever that is.
Wolf & Cheech we don't have to worry about for awhile.

This is the best case scenario for us

 

[Flameshomer]

Cheche is like that stock you buy and take a gamble on: it's best for everyone involved just to leave it and not look at it too much for the next 3-4 years. Get excited and make a decision later.

 

[FerklundCGY]

Technically now at 3 GP in the VHL but only two starts, both of which have been shutouts.

Now sitting at a .987 SV% in the VHL after today

Friendship ended with Zagidulin. Chechelev is my best friend now.
