Well happy birthday to me!

Time to see if he's good enough for the NA game, his size is a bit of a negative, but he is supposedly quite skilled.

 

[PWJunior]

I'm surprised it's actually happening, figured he was the new Petrov. Not expecting much though, but hoping for the best as always.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Let’s see what the kid has

 

[CREW99AW]

I like it. It's a low risk move. Isles try to address a middle six need and if they can without giving up assets ...great.
Save those trade chips to use in another trade.

 

[lazycop]

Just watched some highlights. He's certainly not afraid to shoot!

 

[seafoam]

Good move.

 

[Olliemets]

Any injection of low-risk higher skill into the organization is fine with me.

 

[DonLou13]

Where does he fit?

MDC/Leo replacement?

AHL?

 

[MJF]

Well happy birthday to me!

What a nice thing to read with my morning coffee.

What a nice thing to read with my morning coffee.

You didn’t try to make alphabet soup coffee, did you?

 

[Taswell]

Just need him to be Goalyshev

 

[IslesNorway]

I expect it's the AHL for him first. They need some attacking flair there

I'm not even that functional in the morning. My wife makes the first pot of coffee.

 

[SI90]

Good stuff. Goly is super skilled. I remember a few years ago him taking pictures with his young son in isles gear.


Does he come over and join us right away? Maybe they give him a shot on the third LW slot?

 

[crasherino]

Its a low risk move for sure, but how likely is it that a guy comes from another league, another country in March and contributes immediately? If he does, that's fantastic and I'll get his jersey (well, maybe a t-shirt....or maybe I'll just cheer) but I'm carving his name into the lineup just yet. You'd think that he'd need a training camp - at minimum - to get on track here. Its good that we have a decent Russian presence on the team though. I'm sure that will help.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

He's a good option for BP. Then maybe as a potential call up given the Isles lost Lee. Depth is never a bad thing. Peter Holland and Pavel Datsyuk have slightly more points than him on the same team. This is a good barometer.

I wouldn't put him anywhere near that tire fire, just have him train with the team, learn the system, Long Island and improve his English, just like Sorokin did.

Difficult to assess. Sharangovich and Kurashev are two guys who have changed my thinking a bit although to your point, they started the season here. I bring them up because they look a little different then the usual shot in the arm import. Those guys are typically scorers that are penciled in on someone's second line. These two are skilled players who look good in different situations and chip in offensively. I have seen both of them a fair amount and like the game they play. Fingers crossed we have some help coming for either club. Soundtigers are not so great.

 

[Seph]

He has a lot of pro experience, so hopefully he can adjust quickly to NA play. But won't he have to go through waivers since he was playing in another league at the start of the season? Or did that rule change?

 

[goal1228]

I thought he'd be bigger.

 

[Chardo]

He will not only have to adjust to new country, new language, and smaller rinks, but he also needs to learn the Trotz system. He won't play an Islanders game for a long while.

 

[SI]

Is he coming over this spring? KHL season is over and his team was eliminated.

He could come over right away, he is a UFA at the moment.

 

[Thrasymachus]

Interesting. I have heard mixed things about this fellow. Willing to give him a shot I suppose.
