Ok, I believe Golyshev is coming.

The KHL contract with Avtomobilist has been officially terminated.

Guess who's officially coming to NA

Hope Bellows can stick to playing with Barzy for a while. If not, why not trying out Otto Koivula once in a while? Isles needs to evaluate if there is any NHL future with this draft pick. He does have the size to replace Lee temporarily if he is willing to park himself in front of the net often. Hope he is not slower than Lee and less competitive. How is his passing and puck retrieval skills? If he is not good at handling the puck then it will be a pass.

I am curious as he had a good season with Soundtigers in his rookie season but somehow regressed. Is there a driving factor? less conditioned? less motivated as seeing himself not going to make NHL ever? any injuries impacting his skating, passing and shooting? Language barrier issue?

They can also take another closer look at Flex Bibeau 6-3 225 lb shoot left and I remember that he was a competitive and clutch player in Memorial Cup and can produce when playing with talented player. What is with him so far this year?

From what I could tell, his skating is less than subpar. He's probably someone the kraken take a look at as well, especially since they can never have a surplus of centers. its terrible me calling him a meh skater, but thats the truth. He's also a natural centerman and he only comes in god forbid we do lose cizikas/pageau long term.

I think that they'll give bibeau a shot also if they also have more injury issues, but he is far down the depth chart

Good depth on the 3LW anyways. I think this is our B6 LW down the road anyways, and he could be a good stop cap anyways for depth. I hope golyshev does well here

Not sure where you're getting those size stats from?

Here's his eliteprospects profile:

I also remember seeing him when he was drafted. He's clearly not 6'3", 225 lbs.

Good Post as I was thinking the same thing. For those who watch BST on a regular basis, what's going on with Koivula? Sounds like he is struggling and playing C. Should he move back to original position LW?
Thanks in advance

He wasn't struggling when he was centering Wahlstrom and Bellows last year. It does seem that he doesn't mesh with Simon Holmstrom. From here it seems like Koivula's head just hasn't been in the game this season. Maybe putting him on the wing will snap him out of it.

Sorry that I got from the AHL Sound tigers roster web site so it must have been a mistake by AHL. When I saw that I was kind of surprised as well. Now you question it, I believe he is not that big, but a good player though. Someone to consider down the road.

Interesting.

Hmmm, maybe the AHL site got him confused with this Bibeau?
