Still plenty of names with some intrigue, but nobody with skills that stand out from the pack.

I'm going Solovyov based on his body of work to date in both junior and pro leagues. He may never be more than a "cup of coffee" guy, but it's still something.

Based on Ryan Pike's report from this morning, I went with Nikolayev...

Based on Haynes Athletic Article

https://theathletic.com/2786545/2021...-ready-to-pop/

Quote:
"In the 2020 draft, the Flames made a point of grabbing the lanky Russian in the fourth round to make sure they got him.

So far, the early returns on that prioritization have been good. Chechelev raised eyebrows last season by reeling off 10 consecutive wins to start his MHL season, which is the Russian equivalent of junior.

He then bumped up to the VHL, which would be akin to the AHL in North America, and posted two shutouts in winning his first three games there.

No longer age-eligible to play in the VHL, it is not yet determined where he will play this season. In need of a new contract, negotiations are ongoing between his agent and his Russian team, with the Flames doing their best to wield some influence along the way.

From Calgary’s perspective, a starting gig with a VHL team is preferred over a backup role in the KHL, because as Sigalet pointed out, Russian teams tend to ride their starters. The Flames want him to be playing.

The possibility exists that they loan him to another Russian team or even a team in another European country.

Regardless, Sigalet is in regular communication with Chechelev, sometimes talking with him every other day, and he said he isn’t worried, nor is the player, who remains confident and upbeat.

“He knows he’ll get a spot somewhere. He’s too good not to be playing over there somewhere,” he said.

Chechelev is a candidate to come over to North America in a couple of years if he continues to develop as he has.

Nikolayev coming to NA could be a really interesting move. I didn't think he was too bad in the VHL last year, and to me it signals that he doesn't want to languish in lower russian leagues but is willing to put in some hard work somewhere like the AHL. KHL probably didn't think he was quite ready.

This is a player who could surprise and shoot up the rankings.
I also really like Chechelev, but I think he's still many years from NHL impact.

Part of me feels like Philip, although he has a low ceiling, will find a role in the NHL (either with the Flames or elsewhere). He seems like a perfect 4th liner and could carve out a role like Hathaway, or Derek Ryan...

I am voting for big Z, then Chechelev due to their upside....after that I think I will ride the Philip train
