Prospect Info: Shamil Shamkov G (2018 202nd)

[cgf]

Lincoln might make him homesick for Siberia.

An achievement made all the more impressive by the fact that Shmakov is from Moscow...

 

[UncleRisto]

Will the Avs continue to hold his rights? How does this work?

Edit: Or did we trade him, and I just wasn’t paying attention

Lincoln Stars in the USHL.

Lolz, saw Stars, thought AHL... I’ll show myself out

Yeah, I thought Dallas' camp too at first, like "huh?"

He's played in Novosibirsk.

Chatted with some people on this and the basic plan is that Mucitelli is going to be with the Stars and Shamkov and Vyletelka are going to compete for the 2nd spot. The loser of the battle will be in Bismark in the NAHL. They have a bit to get it all together, but I'd expect Mucitelli and Shamkov to battle over the #1G spot. Also interestingly was told that Shamkov wasn't offered a contract to stay in Russia, this is probably his best career opportunity to continue going forward and the Avs will have a chance to bring him into the minor league fold real easily next year.

Nice to see him coming over to North America. He was impressive at rookie camp. Interesting that he wasn't offered a contract in Russia though, that sounds odd considering how possessive they are about their homegrown players.

If you look at where he's played, he's a bit of a redheaded stepchild and isn't in the preferred light for whatever reason. If he wants to continue his career, coming to NA where the Avs can keep a close on him is a smart idea. Might not lead to anything, might put him in the minors next season.

 

[Pokecheque]

No way! There might be an Avs prospect right here in my backyard? Awesome!

How far for you to go see Weiss ?

Don't speak of things you obviously know nothing about.

Touché

Omaha's about an hour away. I've lived in Lincoln for nearly a decade now and still haven't seen a Lancers or Mavericks game.

It'd be nice to see Weiss, but of course dude's gotta be healthy enough to play.

true, hopefully he has gotten stronger and has a good year.

Screw you buddy, this is 'murica!

 

[S E P H]

Ehhhh, so it says on his EP page that he's on Cedar Rapids RoughRiders now. I haven't paid attention to the USHL training camps, but not sure it is a good look that he was pretty much traded away from one of the worst teams in the USHL.

RoughRiders add goaltender

E: Sounds like he's going to be the starter though since the other goaler is a 2001 born. Additionally, he has grown to 6'8".

He was pretty bad in the preseason while Vyletelka was pretty damn good. Mucitelli pretty much had a spot secured after last season's play. On the brightside, Mullahy isn't a shoe in for being a starter and was terrible in the preseason. Shamkov is going to get some games and a chance to win the job.

 

[Hasbro]

So if he advances, NCAA route for Shamkov.

He might have eligibility, but I'd say ECHL is more likely his next step if he does well.

 

[Pokecheque]

Bummed that I won't see him play here. But I've no idea what to expect from the Stars after last year's disaster, so maybe it's for the best since last year's goalies were pretty much under siege.

 

[Metallo]

I can already hear his teamates calling him ShamSham after his first shutout for the Avs.

Edit: Forget that, last name Shmakov not Shamkov. Thread title is wrong.

Personally, I can't wait until he makes a save with his stick or blocker, and the play-caller says "He Shmacks the puck right out of the air!"

 

[Bubba Thudd]

"He's Shmak-talking the guy in front of him..."









Q: Where's Rantanen?
A: At home, shmaking off.
