Wow...

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

My god, the madmen actually did it.

 

[JabbaJabba]

A Russian player, drafted by the Ducks? How can this be?!

Seriously, looks like a good pick. Overager but he had good season last year pointswise in KHL and good start so far this season.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Well that was unexpected.

Interesting pick, off to a good start in the KHL this season

 

[AngelDuck]

Thats something you see about once every 8 years for this team.

This dude is also 2-3 years older than everyone else in the draft so I'm skeptical. But his stats look good in a tough league

 

[The Duck Knight]

Already 21? How common is it to draft someone that old?

It seems very old. But lets remember that if this was a normal draft, in June, he would have been 20

Still seems old

 

[McDonald19]

When does his KHL contract end, and is he willing to play in the AHL for a couple years?

 

[Dirk316]

Not very good luck with undersized Russian players

We haven't picked one in 20 years

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Nope but at a quick glance it looks like he scores a lot of his goals in the dirty areas so maybe that will translate

In his prospect thread, someone said he is signed through the 22/23 season.

Still remember Chistov, do you?

Horrible pick and lackluster player

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Pretty crazy that he managed to lead the KHL in game winning goals as a rookie. Eight of his thirteen goals happened to be game winners.

 

[Paul4587]

Funny the year Stephens asks Madden about why they avoid Russians is the year we finally take one. Purely coincidental but still funny.

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

Not very good luck with undersized Russian players

Is 6 ft 180 still undersized?

 

[Masch78]

That are huge numbers for a rookie in the KHL. Rookie of the year as well.

 

[cheesymc]

So close to getting Tullio or Chromiak, but Galimov is the type of player that teams line up for as a free agent. We wouldn’t be able to compete with Toronto, Montreal or NYC, so getting his rights is a good investment.

 

[McDonald19]

Not very good luck with undersized Russian players

Yeah, I’m ok with a boom or bust pick in the 5th round though.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Artyom is a cool name, same name as the player character in the video game 'Metro Exodus'.

 

[McDonald19]

Horrible pick and lackluster player

He was the right pick at the time. He was the 2nd or 3rd most talented player in the draft. Unfortunately he didn’t put in the work to improve after the 2003 cup run.

C/W Artyom Galimov - Ak Bars Kazan, KHL (2020, 129th, ANA)

Lot's more clips posted in the main board thread

 

[McDonald19]

In his prospect thread, someone said he is signed through the 22/23 season.

That’s kind of a bummer. I’d like to see him in San Diego in 21-22.
