Top Russian Prospects #14

[Pavel Buchnevich]

With the Kostitsyn brothers, Zykov, Scherback, Svechnikov, Provorov, Sergachev, Namestnikov, Anisimov, Goldobin, Zadorov...

When on the other side theres like... Kuzy, Tarasenko, Kaprizov, Buchnevich?

I've went over this with you before, and you continue to put forth a disingenuous argument.

Yes, I know, my "disingenuous" argument.

Yes, Dmen are players too.

Ovi, Malkin, Kovy werent really developped though, were they? One of those is a generationsl talent and the other two came over as teens, I mean, if were not counting Kucherov, I dont see why they count.

Anisimov played three season in the AHL.

2 actually, but good thing the conversation is about Russian players going to CHL then.

That doesnt make any sense... of course they were developed.

And in that case, Svechnikov should be also erased, because he is right in that category.

Im not even against your opinion, but you cant just ignore half of the facts to make your opinion better.

I think the conversation is usually around NA rather than russia, not just the CHL.

Youre right about Svechnikov. I just dont think theres any weight to this, players bust, its normal, it happens more than the contrary and people are using this to prove a point against Russians coming to NA.

As for Ovechkin, Malkin and Kovalchuk, they played their teenage years in russia and came over while still in their teens, how much does that really matter? They should fit in the middle with Kucherov "who only spent two seasons in NA".
