Quoting: Caniac2000
Canes decline. Hutson's a stud, but Carolina already have Nikishin whose purely better. Outside of him, there's 0 here interesting for Carolina. Maybe if you swap Anderson with one of Dach or Newhook and make the pick the Montreal pick, wherever that falls, Carolina might listen to losing TWO top six pieces, but otherwise, this is a pretty simple no
What all time records did Nikishin break again?
I mean Damir Sharipzyanov has 3 points less then your dude and like your guy also jumped a ridiculous amount in points this year
Dont get me wrong, he's good ,But the Goaltenders in the KHL are not good at all as they face very few serious threats offensively
Radulov's Decline, Kovalchuks declined, heck even Linden Vey who had a great year last year as a KHL All Star has left the League for DEL
I mean last year Dmitri Jakin a Career 4th liner albeit with a Stanley Cup but i digress
He's the KHL's #1 Goal Scorer. I love Jaskin and he was a huge fan favorite here in Junior
But thats ****ing pathetic he's #1 in the KHL and the sad part is there's not much better then him
This year he was 150th in scoring while this year it gets even worse with many players who accomplished less then Jaskin on top
Gusev, R.Boucher,N.Goldobin, J. Weal and V.Tkachyov are the KHL's top guys
I mean Drunken Galchenyuk who joined later in the year is 16 goals and 26 assists for 42pts in 61 games just 2 spots ahead of Michkov who's 40th in KHL scorin
NCAA and Lane's competition is Elite Level but the KHL isnt anymore. He's at least facing off against 1st and 2nd round draft picks regularly.
Even Bogdon Konyuskov is a 21 year old KHL Captain playing big minutes in his Sophomore KHL season and i put very little stock in it until he plays against real competition.
He can beat Weal , Boucher, Gusev and a bunch of no name goalies to the point only the KHL's 10th Goalie in its top 10 was even drafted by a NHL team with only 5 in the KHL total who were.
You keep your guy
We're not giving up the guy who spanked Makar, Q.Hughes and A.Fox's numbers straight out the gate as he'd be hard to replace.
You could just sign Sharipzyanov effectively giving you someone playing that position and the same level with similar results.
We couldnt do that with Hutson
