Confirmed with Link: Viktor Tikhonov to Hawks

Desi - Krüger - Tikhonov would work too

Tikhonov with Panarin would work. He could even Keep up with the cycling game of Toews and Hossa.

With Q, we are going to see all possible combinations within 5 games

I like that 4th line, it allows Shaw to be on the 3rd line W. But I think the 4th line looses some scoring if you take Shaw off it. But that 4th line above is solid as a rock.

Tikhonov is quite different from most Russians in one sense: he's actually American as well as Russian.

So he is actually bilingual and has American citizenship. Should help Panarin, at least.

Nice article

Looks like Tiko has a nose for the net... and gets the job done in traffic.

Like the Panarin clips however, there doesn't seem to be a lot of tough defensive play going on in those highlights - hence the same question: how will he translate his game to the NHL (with less room and less time)?

I agree regarding D play. Tikhonov seems to play with a lot of energy. Seems he has also played some with Ovy and Kovy at times. Speaks to his ability to played with skilled guys, which is nice to have in the bottom 6.
