F Andrei Altybarmakyan - HC Sochi, KHL (2017, 70th, CHI)

[SoundAndFury]

At this point, him making the NHL seems very, very unlikely. He is borderline bust even by KHL standards.

I like this kid a lot...that move was a bit Datsyukian if I must say

He obviously won't turn into Datsyuk but I like his skill set.

Does Chicago sign this kid and get him over next year?

I think they should. He is not that far from the NHL I think. Getting him into the AHL first would work.

Keeping him in the KHL till his ready would work better.

Altybarmakyan and Kayumov (Shalunov too) have their contracts expiring this year so I think the plan is to bring them over together.

If Altybarmakyan is not far from NHL, then how is Stromwall? New Ovechkin?

Two very impressive highlights there

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

This kid is always very underrated. He obviously had some personal issues in KHL. But the talent is there.

small but very strong on his skates as you can see in the OT winner. He reminds me a bit of Kaprizov...in terms of style of play only.

I think he is going to make for a good NHLer and another steal for Chicago!
