Come to OTT, apparently we love our Russians since the departure of B. Murray
Tkachyov Vladimir A.:Kontinental Hockey League (KHL)
Yup, signed a 1 year ELC last summerSide Note but I really like Zub. Was he a UFA signing?
He is more like Gusev, but much much worse.Is he any good? How does he compare to Kaprizov?
I’m surprised he never got a contract back then. I remember there being some issue when the Oilers were going to sign him but you’d think they or someone else would’ve signed him the next year
He is more like Gusev, but much much worse.
Opportunity--or moreso lack thereof.The Oilers almost signed Anton Burdasov - so why not both this offseason?
The player I want back is Slepyshev. Unfortunately he's staying in the KHL for another year at least.
I think the 163pounds is even generous. Hes very, very small but also very skilled. I cant imagine him being an NHL player though unless hes vastly improved in the last couple yearsVladimir Tkachev (b.1995) Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com
He's SKA's leading scorer during the regular season. Listed as 5'10 163, will be on the smaller side. Even if those stats are out of date he will still be on the smaller side of things at 5'10. Team's wont mind free players however I think most teams will be offering him a 2way contract to start things off if he wants to come to the NHL and this is nothing personal against him or his abilities as a hockey player.
Now in the Case of the Canucks, he was teamates with podkolzin, however the Canucks seem to also have an abundance of young offensive forwards that will also be coming in Kole Lind , Gadjovich and of course Podkolzin.
The best Canucks should do is a 2way contract or any NHL team.
Being better than arguably the worst skater in the NHL isn't going to save him though.He's the better skater, than Gusev.
Not enough attention in this thread was turned to the fact that his release had as much to do with the fact that SKA wanted to get rid of him as it does with him wanting to go try the NHL. Which speaks volumes.
Yeah if the whole Gusev situation taught me anything is that guys like Tkachyov have nothing to do in the NHL. He might as well not even bother since much much worse Gusev is a very fair comparison.

Yes but that's a big "if" and Gusev averaged well over PPG playing for SKA, Tkachyov didn't have a single PPG season in his career.Gusev was fine last year and will probably be fine next year if a team gives him a chance.
