Player Discussion: Mikhail Sergachev - Part 2

[Hoek]

Bounced back great after being exposed a bit against Florida. Helps that Carolina wasn't very physical. Gotta expect Trotz goes after him if that's the matchup next round, so hope he's ready.

Hell of a turnaround this series!

That Martin/Clutterbuck line always scares me. They hit EVERYTHING. Serg or Point & Kuch might take a beating.

Lol accurate.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

The kid's only 22 lmao, of course he's not going to be awesome every and each series. Same stuff happened last year, he needs time to acclimate to the playoffs pace, then delivers. He's leaning more and more towards a defensive game tho.

If you think at Heddy's development, he's quite on path. In a couple of years his production will explose IMO and we'll have in our hands two of the best Dman in the league.

Plus, overall, I feel like Serg's development on the defensive end is better than what Hedman was at 22. Thanks Stevie Y, you really got us a freaking GEM

To me, Sergachev still looks like a guy who's gonna develop into a high-end #2, about as valuable as McDonagh is right now. With more offense, obviously. I don't see him turning into a top-10 Dman league-wide, but would love to be proven wrong.

Either way, he's gonna be really, really good. And even if someday Hedman drops from the best Dman in the game to a top 10 or 15 Dman, we're still gonna be in good shape. And Cernak looks more and more like he is, or will be, a high end #3. Future remains bright.

I tend to agree with what you say, but I still see a great offensive upside for Serg.

And because this isn't Cernak's thread so I won't say much, but boy oh boy what he's turning into. Not only beastly on the defensive end, but his offensive outputs are getting more and more consistent and effective.

What a f***ing team we have, genuinely insane.

Oh yeah, I think there's still a lot of upside with Sergachev. I just don't know if he could ever be the #1 on a cup team, whereas I think he will be one of the better #2's in the league within a few years. I see him as a guy with great raw skills but I don't think he will ever make the kind of decisions Hedman makes, or even a lesser #1.

But I think he might break 50 points a time or two in his career, especially if he ever gets real PP time. And the best part might be that he has developed a bit of a meanstreak and I do think he intimidates opponents a little bit now. He and Cernak could be a downright nasty duo in their late 20s.

Mikhail Turnoverchev

 

[LightningStrikes]

He had some good blocks but he’s a f***ing turnover machine out there. Like no pressure at all and he hands it right over. The hell is wrong with him?

 

[Coopers Gum]

Yeah BRUTAL game from the kid tonight. Holy shit. Gains offensive zone unpressured and just passes the puck to whatever Islander that was. Other than that, he got bodied pretty hard a couple times, and those 36 other turnovers he had. Not too good.

 

[HeartAttack]

valuing him better than Cernak has aged very well Drago is beast while he is like chihuahua...only barking and when bigger dog shows up he is running to his master with his tail between legs

Not sure the analogy fits. He just turned the puck over 1000 times without reason.

 

[HeartAttack]

it mean that when it matters he folds up and from big good doggo he turned into unreliable small doggo who forgott how to fetch and is licking his balls only

 

[LTIR Trickery]

Yeah i'm sure he plays 20 minutes a night because he folds at the first sign of pressure. Got it.

 

[Point21]

Someone posted a video yesterday after the loss, a fan waiting outside with a Sergachev jersey and he stopped and got out to sign an autograph and take pictures with the fan. Man really is such a class act.

 

[Hoek]

Obviously a different scenario but Serg visited my place of work a couple years ago and he really seemed to enjoy the time with fans. Like obviously it's just part of being professional but it impressed me how up for it he was. Same with his routine in warmups.

 

[LightningStrikes]

What’s with the suit and no socks btw? Saw Kuch, Heds and Stammer rock ‘em too. Guess I’m getting old.

I'm pretty sure we had this exact conversation here a few years ago. It's just weird.

A Gem for years !

 

[Peacefool]

I think that Sergy is not 100% healthy. And I think that he has something with concussion to do. Like Heddy at CBJ series,maybe in a lighter form. But sometimes his descicssion making are awful like he is not on the ice like he is lost a lil bit, and if he was rookie,I could think that this is because he is new guy,but I saw last year that he can play and those mistakes are not so typical for him.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Dude should put on some socks after games, probably has a cold and headache.

I am like Cernaks biggest fan but credit to Sergachev where it’s due. Mikhail has a much more polished offensive game and has quicker up ice mobility. He’s also developed quite a bit and his defensive game is much better than people give him credit for, he just sometimes regresses and he has these horrible games where he looks like Marc Andre Bergeron.

Cernak has also developed his offensive game nicely, it’s been a pleasure watching both of these two grow
