[Bonzai12]

The next Jonas Holos - will go back and forth in between the NHL and the minors until he gets frustrated/pissed off and goes back across the pond

I hope not. I have no idea what to expect, but I'd like to see a kid with a good attitude about learning and getting better. We've had a few players kinda pump Cronin's tires for being tough, fair and very communicative in expectations. Graves in particular raved about Cronin's influence on his growth.

Hopefully his English is better than Igor Shvyrev

 

[Richard88]

Have you followed his play at all? Is there anything there that we want to bring to NA?

I haven't followed closely. Seems like he's tailed off a bit but still has an intriguing skillset.

I predict one year with the Eagles and then back to Russia a la Mironov

Only if the Eagles also employ an old man as their masseuse

I don’t think Mironov made it even a year did he?

The good news is that the Avs will have a brand new masseuse on staff next year.

Now do Kovalenko

He might get a contract just given the lack of contracts now and coming up... but he'd be the same situation. Just a depth guy to fill spots until he got tired of the AHL.

 

[Hasbro]

He could end up being a poor man's, poor man's Sylvain Lefebvre

“The destitute man’s Sylvia’s Leferve.”

The political situat in Russia might effect that.

 

[Belgican]

Il guess he could make the Avs next season, real good depth D

True. Maybe his plan is to defect.

You never know. He has been marinating/pickling in Russia for some time. A more mature version of him may carve out a bottom 6 role in the NHL after adjusting in the American League.

Nope it was actually 26 AHL games and 10 NHL games. I thought he had like 40-50 in the AHL

That guy seriously didn't give a FACK about the NHL. The few times he was in the lineup he just did whatever. Paid no attention whatsoever to the system or even what was going on the ice at the time.

 

[LTC Pain]

Next season, at some point, if Girard is traded. Not bad I think.

#1 Left-Handed D-man - Toews
#2 Left-Handed D-man - Byram
#3 Left-Handed D-man - Zhuravlyov

 

[tigervixxxen]

Zhuravlyov has no NHL potential. None.

He had zero nhl ability, I'm amazed he ever suited up a single NHL game

You can say you never know about anybody... hell, you never know... I might come out of retirement and have a shot!

Kovalenko is a poor skater, undersized, and doesn't have plus skill. Along with that, he is poor defensively. Maybe that all cleans up... or maybe he's just not a NHL level talent.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

No longer in the Avs' system. He's averaging almost 18 minutes in 20 games for Kazan and is +5 with seven points.

Any chance he gives North America another shot?

If he does he'd be wise to choose a different team since the Avs are relatively deep at LHD organisationally.

Figured as much. Was more interested in his talent level.

After looking at his photo in the 1st post, I think he should try puberty first.

I very much doubt it and that’s not enough production to get NHL teams excited enough to offer a guaranteed job.
