RW Andrei Svechnikov (2018, 2nd, CAR) II

[1972]

I just love the way this kid plays the game, big strong player who is good around the net. I think with him Svechnikov what you see is what you get. A big strong goal scoring winger.

 

[JK2K]

Have to say, he skates well. I think he spends too much time hanging out by the other teams blue line. Needs to come back to own end. I realize he an offensive force, but coaches won't put up with it.

 

[Kshahdoo]

2 assists in his 2nd game. Lipanov scored 2 goals.

is a floater
does have skill
reminds me kuznetsov

 

[Atas2000]

Just let him fall to a good team. Call him a floater or whatever you want. Just don't let it be some bottom feeder teamwith no future.

He's lucky he's getting 3 games in a row this weekend to get his legs back and get in game form. Hopefully he will be chosen and can be in top form for the WJC.

 

[Brucelenok]

Scored a hat-trick tonight. All the types of goals you want - powerplay, 5on5, empy-netter. Has 14 goals in 14 games, he is going goal per game. Now has 20 points in 14 games. Bragin has to take him even though knowing how tough Bragin is towards the youngsters. He is just too talented to pass up. 2 years younger but he should already be the best player on Russian team.

Ranked #1 by Red Line, according to their twitter.

I don't know if they're released an article yet.

what the f*** is that list lol

Clickbait.

 

[93LEAFS]

Redline report. There is a reason no one takes them seriously at this point. Overly harsh with click bait opinions.

Edit: I don't have a problem with Svechnikov at 1, I personally wouldn't do it at this point, but I can atleast see an argument for it (positional risk, more likely to translate quicker while on an ELC, etc). But, Eggenberger in the top 10? Merkely makes sense in the top 3 only if you only watch highlights and box-scores and Bouchard at 4?

 

[Fantomas]

It's an eccentric list for sure. But can this really be clickbait if there is no link to speak of? I had to dig up this jpeg from their twitter.

They sell a product and are known for outlandish opinions. It’s an established track record with Redline.

I wonder how much money there is in the business of creatively insulting teenagers.

 

[Caser]

Made it to the Team Russia WJC roster.

Officially he got 2 assists today Vs Switzerland, but apparently one assist was stolen from him by IIHF, also one assist might as well be a goal, as it is hard to tell if he or Swiss player deflected the puck into the net here:

 

[Thebesthockey]

hope to see more intensity out of him
very passive player

 

[VictorLustig]

Beauty assist against Belarus. Believe that's his 2nd assist of the tournament, officially credited with 3.

 

[Mrb1p]

Svecknikov is really good down low. Doesnt use his shot much in the tournament but he's amazing behind the line and in the corners.

 

[Kshahdoo]

To me he isn't progressing that great comparing to the previous season. Not sure, why. Of course, he's still pretty good, but not, what people thought, he would have been, before this season started. Not sure, he's going to be even the 2nd overall. More like top5. Can't even say, it would be better for him to stay in the KHL, because Bill would never let him play in the league as 17 yo, but the CHL isn't doing anything good to him as well.

A few more months and he'll never see the CHL again.

Also I don't agree with you. He is doing just fine and has looked good to my eye test, although injuries have disrupted any momentum.

Matthews had as good PPG as Svechnikov's right now in a strong European league in his draft year, that was a progress. Svechnikov is pretty much the same as he was the last season.

You shouldn't compare stats that have nothing to do with each other. Matthews was also a September birthdate, in others words 18 in his draft year.

Progress is about progress and not about birth date. Matthews goes to another level with every his new season, I don't see the same in Svechnikov.
