Why is Atanasov TOR, I wonder...

Why is Atanasov TOR, I wonder...

Short for Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod I assume, but I doubt you're the only person to see that and think Toronto at first glance

Almost a PPG. Kid is having a fantastic run this season so far. Surely will get the attention of more clubs othee than the Preds

Ah yes, but it definitely means Toronto in most cases. Probably some kind of humor... Or irony.

2025.

Good he'll have time to develop more strength along with his great scoring skills! And he's a UFA! He'll have many suitors I'm sure

Tied 2-2, late in the game Metallurg goes on the PP, could've sealed it. Atanasov out shorthanded scores the game winning goal for Torpedo. Kid is electric, does it all.

What’s great is Torpedo and Larionov are having all this success despite having one of the smallest budgets in the league.
Love this team.

I say it everytime, so fun to watch.

If he keeps playing this way and scoring next season too, NHL teams will go into free-for-all mode to get him...

Friedman with a blurb on him in today's 32 thoughts column: 32 Thoughts: Trying to make sense of controversial hits in a physical league

28. Player from overseas teams are watching: Vasily Atanasov from KHL Torpedo. Smallish, but can score (38 points in 38 games). Still under contract for another season, but there’s interest.

Good NHL comp?

Good NHL comp?

If there is a skinny and not very physical player with very good skill and creativity in the NHL, then Atanasov will be like him.

It looks like he can miss up to 5 weeks. Torpedo hopes he'll get back before the playoffs.
