U18 Russian team

[Caser]

Ivan Kozlov got injured and is out for 6-8 weeks, could've been a useful bottom-six guy for the WJC.

Also in the newsfeed I see that Dmitriy Rodionychev has been called up to the U18 WJC camp.

 

[Fantomas]

A kid line of Denisenko - Khovanov - Marchenko would be fun. Too bad we won't see it.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

From the reserve list, it is already known that Alexeyev, Svechnikov, Rubinchik and Samorukov will join, others are 'maybes' I guess, which is not surprising since CHL play-offs are ongoing.

I'm not a fan of Golubovich, but I think that it is very good that he gives basically everyone a chance (not sure if it will have any impact on his final selection though).

A very worrying situation is at the GK: Tarasov failed to recover in time and that makes us highly dependent on Zhukov, which is totally not a good thing.

 

[Fantomas]

Not horrible.

Key line will be Chekhovich-Lipanov-Svechnikov. Do not like not seeing particular names that would have been key to secondary scoring: Denisenko, Marchenko especially.

Any update on Kostin, Tarasov injuries?

Golubovich is a real step down from Prokhorov. On the bench, he has that frantic look like "what the hell am I doing?"

 

[Caser]

Any update on Kostin, Tarasov injuries?

I think timeline on Kostin's return is still the beginning of May, while on Tarasov we probably won't hear anything new until August (unless some NHL team is brave enough to draft him).

 

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

he gives basically everyone from Dynamo Moscow a chance

Fixed

 

[Caser]

Fixed

Actually that would be Golubovich's normal mode. I actually meant that it is a bit unusual that there are a lot of interesting non-Dynamo guys this time: Rodionychev, Skorikov, Yugra guys, Slepets, Perelyayev, Kravtsov, Khovanov.

 

[Zine]

No dman Alexander Alexeyev? Hmmm

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I think he's injured.

We'll see if he actually brings them.

 

[Caser]

We'll see if he actually brings them.

Yeah, I'm kind of sceptical too.

 

[Caser]

Chekhovich and Koltygin are now out of the QMJHL play-off race. Also looks like Khovanov is already back in Kazan.

 

[Caser]

It has been reported that Kravtsov and Yaremchuk have been cut.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Why was Kravtsov cut? That makes no sense.

Thats upsetting

Too bad. He also won't get to play next year, as a late 1999 born player.

Because we can't have nice things.

 

[Atas2000]

Because we can't have nice things.

This... and reasons.

 

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

Regarding Kravtsov, I read somewhere (probably in the U18 WC thread under "International Tournaments") that the decision had to do with school...? Grades or something like that.

He's got a bad grade from prof. Golubovich as he doesn't like other "schools"
