LW Kirill Marchenko (2018, 49th, CBJ)

[57special]

I think his style of play would work in the NHL.

 

[Atas2000]

Huge 4 pts game. 2g 2a ina 6-1 rout of Jokerit.

 

[Caser]

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Seems to be our best forward prospect in terms of top end potential. However, to this day I have yet to see him acknowledge the CBJ for picking him, be in Columbus for development camp, or anything of the sort. Not sure of his interest in coming over to play for us.

I've liked him a lot as a prospect since his draft year. But be careful, I got a lecture when I suggested his future interest in the NHL maybe wasn't 100%

Kid is a player, I'm just not sure we'll ever see him in NA.

Why? Do you really think Columbus would take a player that high in the draft if they had any doubts about him coming over?

Not concerned about his recent extension, he needs a few more years of development and he's going to get the quality of competition + ice time necessary in the KHL. Gavrikov spent 4 seasons in Russia before finally coming over, perfectly fine with waiting on Marchenko.

I don't know if that counts as "anything of the sort", but last season Marchenko told he was in contact with Jarkko Ruutu, who was at that time CBJ dev coach.

He will come over one day, I am sure. Every hockey kid in Russia has a dream to play in NHL. Yes, they have an option to play at home, but even average players like Chibisov try, so why Marchenko shouldn’t?

Better than nothing. Thanks

I believe he still is.

I’m a lecturer now? Awesome

I hope not.

 

[bagsw]

I hope not.

I think that this is just reality. People want to play with the best players, with legends. And this is what will remain for a long time, until KHL or any other league will be able to become good enough to compete with NHL.

 

[chewbaccaman]

Very impressive pick by CBJ, looks like he’s gonna be a player.

 

[Caser]

Debuted in KHL playoffs with two goals.

 

[ViD]

Kinda disappointed he’s signed for 2 more years, I think he can realistically crack CBJ lineup next year

 

[mikeyp24]

Yet another steal of a prospect by GMJk. He said he was getting calls for.him on TDL day but no way he.waa.moving a.guy they think is their future.

 

[Kshahdoo]

I think, 2 years in is exactly when he will be NHL ready, if continues to progress on the current pace.

 

[Kipper933]

In his VHL and MHL games the couple years, Marchenko is the standout prospect in most games.

He has the high-end skills and attributes that I think should translate to the NHL.

 

[SoundAndFury]

With Tortorella as a coach? Yeah nah.

 

[Kshahdoo]

I actually didn't like him at WJC, I expected more from him.

 

[mikeyp24]

With Tortorella as a coach? Yeah nah.

Why? Panarin had career years here... hes not the coach outsiders think he is.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I agree here. He was fine, but that's as far as I'll go.

On the bright side when he does make the transition over to the NHL he should be good and ready. No waiting around (like Gavrikov was).

 

[FlyguyOX]

I thought he was their best forward.

Weird.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Why? Panarin had career years here... hes not the coach outsiders think he is.

Yeah but Marchenko is no Panarin at this point. Considering you just shipped out Milano and what Zucc had to go through just to break onto Rangers roster I think 2 more years can only do good for Marchenko.

I'm not saying Torts is a bad coach but it's almost impossible Marchenko would actually make the NHL roster next year under him.

Gotcha agree he needs time just thought you meant Torts cant coach skilled players whoch is a bad narrative he hates.coaching lazy and players who wont play every zone.

 

[grentthealien]

Honestly I was not aware of this prospect at all until today. I came across him when checking up on Podkolzin. What’s his play style like?
