[Viqsi]

Chinakov, and... iiiiiiiiiiiit's coin flip time!

And the result is... add Svozil.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Voronkov add Ceulemans

 

[Fro]

Voronkov add Knazko

When you are at rbar with CBJP and he says a kid is top 10 for us, I listen

 

[CoachWithNoTeam]

Dima. Add Ceulemans

 

[stevo61]

Add Svozil

 

[CBJx614]

Voronkov add Ceulemans

 

[Viqsi]

Voronkov add Knazko

When you are at rbar with CBJP and he says a kid is top 10 for us, I listen

Remember when I mentioned in the first thread that there were more guys that I thought of as "top 10" than would actually fit in the first 10 slots?

Yeah, Knazko.

 

[SavesEmNot]

Add Ceulemans.

 

[cslebn]

Add Angle

 

[ThisIsMyAlibi]

Chinakov definitely suffering from a lack of tape and exposure, in these polls.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

Yegor Chinakov... duh!! add Svozil... Viqsi & I are on the same page here

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Chinakov is the last of my top tier - I’ll admit V, Foudy and Peeke are close in the next grouping.

I think the three blue liners are close here for adds too but I’m going with Knazko.

 

[rotsbu]

Add Ceulemans

 

[majormajor]

Voronkov add Knazko

Knazko turns 19 today. Down a shot for him.

 

[stevo61]

So who is Voronkov's NHL comparable? Is he a Hanzal like player with less nasty and hopefully not as greasy?

I see the size which is an obvious comparisn, the net front skills and not being a liability when the puck is on his stick or not on his stick for that matter

 

[majormajor]

I actually am just now thinking about bumping up Knazko and adding him here. He's less than half a year older than Svozil and I like the upside. It's a really tough comparison to make. We haven't seen Knazko at the pro level yet, whereas Svozil has been playing in the top Czech league since he was 16. Next year when Knazko moves up will be revealing. For now I'm sticking with my preference for Svozil, he's more polished than Knazko and has some pretty good upside too.

Ceulemans is just a bit lower in my opinion, by the way. He is the strongest on his feet of the three and has a real weapon of a shot. But the puck decisions are a bit lacking and that might foretell some lower upside.

 

[Nanabijou]

Add Ceulemans

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

I need to just read the rules and follow along

Peeke is in the next 5 grouping so you are thinkin Knazko, Cueleman, Svozil should be in this next tier?[/QUOTE]

Those are the three I was looking at/deciding among for adds this poll, yeah.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Chinakov definitely suffering from a lack of tape and exposure, in these polls.

Massive boom, massive bust potential. He was undrafted one time through for a reason, and I know there’s plenty of players who want undrafted once and ended up pretty good, but I do have it knocking him down a peg.

I still don’t have my own personal official top 20 but I can tell you he’s on the lower end of the “top” prospects.

Did I also read Knazko was C for his Slovakia 2021 World Jr team? I like what that says about Samuel

In terms of role and projected NHL scoring, that's what I'm imagining, yes.

I'm wondering how heavy Voronkov is going to end up. He's currently listed at 190 lbs which seems surprisingly low, we've seen him ragdoll bigger men than that. Hanzal by comparison played at 230 lbs so Voronkov won't be quite that powerful.

I see everywhere lists him as his drafted weight. I seem to recall finding him on a KHL site and listing him at something like 213 lbs. I could be wrong but I remember seeing him listed as much more than the 183-190 he normally is

Edit: The KHL site now is pretty goofy. I cant find size listings on their anymore and its pretty frustrating how they set it up
