Top KHL Players for the 2019 UFA Market

[Caser]

I understand. I can't seem to find a credible scouting report out there on him.

Well, there's some stuff in his thread: C Mikhail Maltsev - SKA-Neva St. Petersburg, VHL (2016, 102nd, NJD)

Despite the recent speculation Artyom Blazhiyevskiy has extended with CSKA for 3 years.

And Maxim Karpov extended wtih SKA for 3 more years too.

 

[Caser]

Reportedly Kravtsov's buddy Alexei Kruchinin is also considering an option to move to NA.

 

[Caser]

And probably the biggest surprise for me so far is that Da Costa decided to stay in the KHL, he signed with Lokomotiv for 1 year.

 

[Caser]

Loktionov has decided to stay for 1 more year at least, as he has signed with Metallurg. Also Jiri Sekac has signed with CSKA.

 

[Caser]

Any news on the older tkachyov?

Big Tkachyov has decided to stay, as he has signed a two-year extension with Ak Bars.

Darn

In other news Dominik Furch decided to sign with Orebro in the SHL.

Also it sounds that Alexei Kruchinin is serious about moving to NA.

Andronov and Telegin decided to stay with CSKA, reportedly they didn't receive offers good enough for them.

On the other hand, Chibisov has signed with the Jets.

The first day of the free agency has given a reason to bump this thread a bit, as Nick Shore has signed with Toronto, while Arizona has signed Andy Miele and Beau Bennett.

Well, that was unexpected:

Well, that was unexpected:

I've always thought the SKA VHL guys would be there for the taking for NHL teams, as said players would likely be more willing to spend a year in the AHL if they don't see a quick path to the KHL.

I can't say Knyzhov was 1 I was thinking of, but he's certainly a strong skater.

What can you tell a bored sharks fan about Yurtaikin and Knyzhov?

 

[Huck Cheever]

Any chance Grigorenko comes back in 2020?

What can you tell a bored sharks fan about Yurtaikin and Knyzhov?

Knyzhov is a stay-at-home physical D, close to zero puck skills, his current level of play is likely more on the ECHL level, but maybe there can be something out of him in the end. As for Yurtaikin, he is an attacking LW, fast and skilled, but I'm not sure if he can think as fast as he skates.

Any chance Grigorenko comes back in 2020?

I wouldn't be too surprised.

 

[Huck Cheever]

Any chance Alexander Polunin comes to NA?

 

[Atas2000]

Any chance Alexander Polunin comes to NA?

Honestly, at this point I doubt you want him.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Any chance Grigorenko comes back in 2020?

Good riddance to that plug. Hard pass.

 

[Caser]

Good riddance to that plug. Hard pass.

While I'm not a fan of Grigorenko, it is hard to deny that he has made some very good progress last season.
