Prospect Info: F Ilya Safonov, Ak Bars Kazan

[hawksfan50]

To sum up ...Safonov had 1g 2prinary assists today in the Ak Bars 5-2 win(Nov. 17th/22).

I thought I read he was pretty slow.....hopefully, that's not the case......I will say that he better be prepared to pay the piper in the NHL standing in front for a living.

Probably another guy like Kayumov who isn't coming over.

Never know. But he’s a fine looking 6th round pick. Having a good year.

Safonov has had the most unexpected season of any Chicago prospect and it has increased his presence on the Blackhawks’ radar.

It's like Powers read my mind on Safonov. Great article.

Powers' new Shalunov?

Powers' new Shalunov?

There can only be one

 

[Taze em]

1C:Bedard
2C: Nazar or 19 OA or Reichel
3C: Greene vs Safonov for 3C in 2 years. Competition is good.

Looks more like Shoveldayoff or Maximum Bure

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

On the plus side, was an assistant captain and scored 13 goals for Ak Bars and added a goal and an assist in five playoff games.

Is that enough to keep him on the radar with all of the highly-regarded forwards in the Hawks' pipeline?

 

[TLEH]

I still think that he can be a solid 4th line C. Size and good hands. I just think he'll really struggle with the pace at times.

I still like his game a bit but looks like the scoring was more of a situational thing.

Lost voronkov and I believe his other linemate

I don't see him fitting the Davidson model. I doubt he ever plays a game in a Blackhawks uniform....which leads me to the Simon and Garfunkel line "where you gone Shalunov, Hawks nation turns it lonely eyes to you"

 

[WarriorofTime]

They could use a big forward so hopefully he gives it a go when his contract ends. If it doesn’t work out that’s ok, especially since only a sixth round pick.

You need the correct number of syllables to make it work so just add in Maxim ...
Where have you gone Maxim Shalunov
Hawks nation turns it's lonely eyes on you
woo woo woo

Agreed.....I knew that, but was too lazy to look up his first name

 

[hawksrule]

Forgot about him. There were some publications hyping him before the season.
