Svechnikov won the CP poll by a healthy margin.
Kid embodies all of what the Flames are seeking. It makes too much sense to me.
If you add the fact that the Flames scouts would be in Charlottetown often to keep tabs on Mason McDonald makes Svechnikov and easy player to watch a lot.
Russian factor doesn't exist with this kid, listen to his interviews, read the quotes, he wants no part of the KHL. Is willing to go to the AHL if that is what it takes to play in the NHL. Is a Gym rat who the Islanders coaching staff has to keep tabs on so he doesn't burn out. If I could re-write this paragraph it would read:
Flames Flames Flames Flames.
This is the right Russian at the right time for the Flames.
Is everyone sold yet?
