I figured it's would be good to have a thread to discuss our players abroad, their potential to make NHL/KHL, track their progress without creating a separate 2-3 post thread about individual players
The guy that many people don't talk about that I have personally always been high on is Ivan Telegin. I love his all around game. I remember him at WJC a couple of years ago, when he was forcing turnovers and making scoring opportunities on pretty much every penalty kill shift.
He is still adjusting to AHL. It'll take time.
I think he can be a very good all-around player.
Why hasn't Tampa called up Kucherov to Norfolk? is his team in PO?
Whatever happened to Evgeny Grachev?
He is another one that was highly hyped that hit a wall in AHL.
he seems to have one more year after this season, than hopefully home to Loko and rejuvenate his career. He had so much potential.
Agreed. I don't know how someone with his obvious, major talent was not developed into a major success. He is big, fast, handles the puck extremely well, and has a blazing shot. He should get back to Loko as soon as possible.

Problem is his hands were always kind of questionable.
wonder what happened to Goldobin, that he didn't make the team...I mean it's normal for the stats to balloon, once players come over to the CHL...
I asked Kravchuk on twitter a while ago, basically he doesn't believe in stats very much. I tend to agree overall.
One of many Russians whose career has been ruined by the CHL.Whatever happened to Evgeny Grachev?
No, he should have stayed in Russia until he was 20. This is a basic rule for every Russian hockey player.Was rushed to the AHL at 19 based on one good junior season, he should have stayed one more year and dominated.
