Eligible to play in Rockford next season.
I think he can be like Kahun where you can slot him anywhere in the top 9.What is the ceiling on him? How much seasoning does he need and can someone give me a player comp?
Better than Sikura and Hayden. Conservatively I'd put him at Kahun level.Is he any good? Panarin? Kahun? Or is he more like the Sikura or Hayden hype?
I think he can be like Kahun where you can slot him anywhere in the top 9.
He's much better than Kahun at the same age though so definitely more upside here.
Yeah like Kampf you can play him anywhere. JC is gonna looooove Kurashev.Hockey ref has him as a C. But I guess since he is LH he can also play the wing?
Pretty good analysis here.Kurashev did not play on a very good team this season ...Quebec stand 8th in theirconference standings after 65 games...Had he played for one of the better teams in the obviously he would have put up even better points. .
Skating-wise he would be better than all the current Hawks centers ...His shot is very good and he would have more assists than he does if he had more talent to play with .. The question is where to play him...He to me is just average defensively even at the junior level ...so a lot more has to be developed there.This means probably seasoning in Rockford ...but
even if that,I do not think he fits a 3C role or 4C role..so I imagine his future would be on the wing in the show.
I think his strategic position use could change back to center and perhaps take on a 3C till Toews ready to move down line to 3C in 3-5 years from now IF the Hawks fail to land the ideal candidate for that 3C hold till Toes ready to go down line move when it comes onas he hits the back side of his 30s...Alex Turcotte would be that target candidate as the right 209ft center for 3C and a future 1C in waiting ..But we have no assurance we can get him in the draft .
In that case of nit gettibg Turcotte, they could try developing Kurashev as a C in Rockford to see if they can improve his defense to the necessary level for that 3C in the show for the years till Toews has to move down line.
But if we do get Turcotte then I cannot see why they would continue with Kurashev as a center to develop..but rather try developing him as a winger for a role in the show in the top 9 forwards eventually.
I am just saying...in whatever strategic development move they decide...he probably gets that development in Rockford. ..not learning on the job next season in Chicago...he needs some work on his defending decisions in his own end ..because he can skate,neutral zone chucking is pretty good. .But I do think he needs more development to be better in his d-zone assignments especially at the level required in the show. So I would be surprised if he is on the Hawks next season...But he should be Blr to help Rochford in whatever role they decide ...Center or wing ..He has some talent and his skating as I said is better than NY current Hawks center. HE has good coffee sive hockey sense already ..but nerds to improve hockey sense in his own zone from the times I have seen him play.However ..he never has played on deeply talented squads ..so perhaps you have to keep that in mind..With the right talent on his line maybe he could be a lot more impact full right way than we suspect.
But if I had to guess..U would say Rockford next season ..to develop his all round game more.
«Je le vois jouer dans la LNH très rapidement. Si ce n’est pas l’année prochaine, ça va être l’année suivante. Son jeu est solide, il va au filet et il arrête devant, ses replis défensifs sont excellents et il fait une bonne job sur les mises au jeu. En deuxième moitié de saison, je suis curieux de voir jusqu’où il peut aller. Les gens de Québec vont être excités de le voir jouer», a-t-il mentionné.
I don't trust people who speak French.In December, his coach Patrick Roy said he thought Kurashev could play in the NHL next season or in 2 years.
"I see him playing in the NHL very quickly. If it's not next year, it'll be the year after. His game is solid, he goes to the net and he stops in front, his defensive game is excellent and he does a good job on faceoffs. In the second half of the season, I'm curious to see how far he can go. The people of Quebec will be excited to see him play", he said.

heh.
I speak French. You're an assbite, pardon my French.
Just what Norm MacDonald said in the skit. I think he said that because he could get away with it on TV while he couldn't get away with replacing the word bite with hole in 1997.What is an assbite?
