Prospect Info: Vitaly Abramov - RW/LW

[Cosmix]

Abramov is in (Paul being injured)

I hope the lineup is actually like the first 4 lines. Move up JBD into the 6 D.

Regarding Abramov, he is described as a creative playmaker with tremendous puck skills, excellent dangler with the puck and an elusive winger with great moves. The team should give him an opportunity to show what he has in the NHL. However he is rather small at 5-10, 181 pounds.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

YES!!!!!! Let's go Vitalyy

 

[God Says No]

I hope he plays. He needs to be rewarded for the good run he has had lately in the AHL. This might be his last stint with the big club forever...

 

[Laphroaig]

I wouldn't worry about Abramov not being large. From what I've seen of him he's fearless. I'm pulling for this guy big time.

So you're saying:
Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
Abramov - Stützle/White - Dadonov
Formenton - Pinto - Brown
Dzingel/Stützle - Tierney - White/Dzingel

I don't think Stutzle is ready for the C role yet. He needs to get bigger, stronger and mature into a man. Yes, Abramov might be a good winger to play with Stutzle. I don't think White is a long term 2C, but it will do for now.

And why White is awarded to play centre where he sucks at this position and Stutzle is not?
White
6'0"
183 lbs
Stutzle now is bigger and stronger then White
6'1"
196 lbs

How bigger and stronger you have to get?

Stuetzle is rather easily getting pushed off pucks.

It's rather obvious he's not physically ready to play centre yet.

1 more inch and 10 more lbs.

White is still way stronger and has way more strength. Stutzle needs, at least, a good 2 years NHL level training before he gets there

And the team could use exactly what he brings right now

 

[Sweatred]

Good thing Dzingle played last night

 

[JD1]

Ya, he's done as an NHL player

He had a good run for a 7th rounder

 

[Ouroboros]

Sounds like a return to Europe is probable.

 

[Icelevel]

Sounds like a return to Europe is probable.

Based on?

 

[Micklebot]

Based on?

It's speculation. He is RFA at season's end and the club in Finland told him the door is open if he wants to come back. Le Droit was asking him if he was disappointed not to get more NHL games and he gave a typically answer along the lines of I'm working hard, and was happy to get the game he got but you hope for more than that at the start of the season. Mentioned he and the team would probably discuss his future in the offseason.

 

[Sweatred]

What ? He doesn’t love $90G in Belleville ? What a surprise. He’s probably ready for a Balcers type impact somewhere.

 

[Cosmix]

So you're saying:

Yes to White on the 4th line.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

So not much impact you’re saying

 

[Cosmix]

I hope Abramov gets an opportunity to play a few more NHL games so we can see how he has developed. We need more of what he has got: creative playmaker with tremendous puck skills, excellent dangler with the puck and an elusive winger with great moves. I wish high end speed and larger size were two of his features. We really need a play-making puck controlling centre so badly. Give L. Brown an opportunity to be that.

Lol
If Abramov had Balcers exact season here this year...let’s just say this board would be gushing.

Really be gushing over 30 point pace

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Really be gushing over 30 point pace

Yes. with a decent defensive play and the coach coming out and praising him.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

Yes. with a decent defensive play and the coach coming out and praising him.

Check out his game log and you’ll be singing a different tune.

I prefer to base my opinions on how a player is playing on more than box scores, thx.
