On the current roster, I don't see Zary, Shark or Frost having that potential. Coronato might.

The other stars, would come from the group of prospects with high potential like Battaglia, Mews, Morin, Honzek, Potter, Suniev, Basha, Gridin. Basically you probably will get 1 star out of that group. if you get 2 you are laughing.

What are we doing if we get 3? or 4?

Mark Giordano from the KHL.

Man Sutter wasted a year of good Gio when he let him goto the KHL.

Or, he came back a better player with the experience.

Russian junior stats are confusing. Tons of ppg+ plus players and like 20 goalies with.930 sv%.

I'd have to look at the stats, but it sounds like there must be high shot totals in Russian junior games. Shooting percentage might be a useful stat over there to really see how good some of those offensive players are.

I imagine if they are playing on an international sized rink while also playing a more modern style of hockey there is just a ton more space to shoot.

Edit: To stay on topic, this prospect is very interesting! Perhaps our scouts have yielded another 7th round gem?

Inflation of statistics is the Russian national pastime. I mean, the total population of Ukraine and the entire armament of NATO have been destroyed multiple times over, according to government sources.

It's a very old pastime, too.

Stalin once had the entire committee of commissars for the Russian census shot because they stated that the population of Russia was what it was, and not what Stalin wished it to be. They were formally charged with ‘conspiring to diminish the population of the Soviet Union’. After they were shot, Stalin personally edited the figures before allowing the census to be published.
