Don't know any of these prospects from Adam, but numerically speaking somehow this guy seems more promising than the other ones.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Flames draft Dmitry Zavgorodniy with 198th pick

 

[Potty John]

Well any right shot prospect is a needed prospect for the flames IMO.

He reminds me of Vladimir Tkachev, the kid Edmonton tried to sign a few years back.

IMO He plays gritty and highlights show he's a real bulldog at times in chasing the puck (like Backlund) into the dirty areas but not physical like a Lomberg or Bennett in puck protection or to try and get the puck. He protects the puck with stick work like a guy like Gaudreau who doesn't rely on his body to defend the puck. I think he's similar to the same styles as Phillips and Dube maybe?

Seems interesting. Let's see if it translates.

Similar to Hudler

Found an old (May 25/18) Draft Profile by Ryan Beich that contains a lot of information on Zavgorodniy, including SEAL and WOWY charts.

CANUCKSARMY’S 2018 NHL DRAFT PROFILES: #78 Dmitri Zavgorodny

I thought he'd get a bump for being the 2nd fittest Flame for Prospects.
That's excellent for Dmitry, being a Draft year player and that fit.

 

[Wish You Were Here]

Very encouraging for a 7th round draft pick.

Very encouraging for a 7th round draft pick.

Not that encouraging.

Keegan Kanzig also did quite well with the fitness.

 

[FerklundCGY]

Yea, always nice to be in shape but sometimes even more encouraging to be ultra talented but outta shape.

At least he takes training seriously

 

[Rubi]

Never mind. Wrong player.

 

[Volica]

Not that encouraging.

Keegan Kanzig also did quite well with the fitness.

But Kanzig was a plug the day we drafted him. Talking about a miniature skill player with top fitness.

I suspect that if this kid wasn't Russian, he would have gone in round 4 or 5. But the Russian factor is real, like it or not.

The stigma is real. I don't know if the supposed "factor" is real. What are the stats on Russian players coming over and then leaving for the KHL, or refusing to come over?

significantly more than other nationalities

 

[Flames Fanatic]

I really liked him in the prospects game. He stood out for me on a few rushes, which is impressive given his age compared to a lot of the guys there.

We were really hoping he was gonna score so the PA announcer had to say his name. Came pretty close in the third.

 

[Tofveve]

Only 5'9" and under a ppg in the Q. Not sure if enough upside for the bigs? I don't know him at all though.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

After two goals tonight made me curious about this kid, looked up his eliteprospects page.

2018 NHL Entry Draft: Ranked #90 by ISS Hockey

2018 NHL Entry Draft: Ranked #94 by McKeen's Hockey

Seems like a pretty good value pick at the end of the draft.

Like I said, he dropped because of the Russian factor

 

[CraigsList]

Played a solid game. Happy for the pick.

 

[Mobiandi]

@MonyontheMoney knows

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Great start for his 2nd season, scored 2 goals and 2 assists tonight, 5 points for 2 games
same amount as Lafreniére,

Just realized this guy will be playing with Lafreniere. Should help boost his stock a bit

 

[Flameshomer]

I thought he was very noticeable here, looking forward to him hopefully putting up some huge numbers this year and having some good team success.
