LD Alexander Romanov (2018, 38th, MTL)

[Canadienna]

I'm going to make the prediction now, that by the time he hits his prime he's going to be a legit top pairing D.

He's also my #3 prospect on the Habs after Poehling/Caufield.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

He’s a young Kronwall with wheels. Can’t wait to see how he progresses in his second khl season.

 

[Legend123]

Russia's best player alongside Denisenko in the most recent U20 tourny

 

[FromRussiaWithLove]

I am big fan of this player. Hits like truck, skates with authority, very smart making decisions, what’s not to love? He is going to be good one.

and his shot! what a damn shot the kid has.

He honestly has all the tool a modern D needs to become a #1. Now, the kid has the tool and support, does eh have the mind ? we will see, I hope he does because it's an other steal by MTL

Romanov with over 19 min of ice time today

[Gargyn]

Wow was I impressed with him today. So steady.

 

[Favster]

I think he's already an NHL caliber Dman. His skating and strength would be a welcomed addition to the Habs.

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

He’s good

 

[BenchBrawl]

Magnificient

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Really steady defensively. He is what we need right now on the left side.

 

[OldScool]

Very impressed with him this tournament. Montreal has a good one.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Dominance in every facet of the game.

Could this be the LHD that MTL so badly needs? He looks very strong out there, but they have to be careful not to rush him. Playing good defense in the NHL is tough.

I think he is Russia's best player, so far.

 

[montreal]

they have to be careful not to rush him

that's not in Bergvein's vocabulary though. We are talking about a GM that calls up a 20 year old Poehling just days after he was benched in the 3rd period of an AHL game for a brutal turnover that lead to a goal and then calls up a 20 year old goalie that had just given up 14 goals in 3 games. The guy has never met a top prospect he doesn't want to rush to the NHL.

 

[JamieG19]

This guy is awesome. Montreal is is very fortunate. Can skate, is physical and has a fantastic competitive drive.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Want him on the roster so bad lol

A lot of Habs fans who follow him a bit in the KHL have been saying this for a year now. He’s never going to be an offensive threat like Karlsson but he’s got everything else. Great skater, edge work, first pass and elite physicality

 

[habbyboolin]

What a fantastic player. Pleasantly surprised every single time I watch him. Can't wait until he dons the Red and Blue!

[Vijo Morganstein]

Really think he can be a minute munching top pairing guy. Won't put up more than maybe 30 points but he is an absolute rock back there.
