As far as monetary value, what is a KHL contract for a guy like Pod look like? I mean a million rubles is about 15k USD. Rocky can pay that out of the popcorn concessions on a given night. He will make several million a year...and pay no income tax on it...much better than what he'd make on an ELC

Dach or Cozens look just fine. I like Cozens, not so sure about Dachs wheels. But im really hoping they take Byram. True elite #1 upside. I am good with either outcome.
stan CAN'T fuck this up...can he?

This is a Podkolzin interview from Sept. As he makes clear, coming to the NHL is not a priority, or in his near plans. As a matter of fact, it could be 4-5 years, or it could be a case like Shalunov, where hes 27 before he comes over. I wouldnt touch him with a 1st rounder. - You could have been chosen for the import draft of CHL, but did not, because you refused to go to Canada. Why did you refuse? - There is a type of people who simply doesn't feel like they want it. I have friends who say: "Oh, America, Canada - this is so cool, I would like to live there all my life." I have the opposite. I basically do not want to go there. All the more - play. Because I understand that, most likely, I will lose more there than I acquire. My english language is bad. And I know what kind of mentality there is, what kind of life. Because I was there in tournaments. And I don't feel like I want it. To live alone in another country... That's okay if it's another city, but at 17 years old in another country - I am not ready. I want to go there when I'm matured hockey player and man. With my family, probably. And now - it's too early for me. - With your family and matured - this is how many years? - How do I know? I have a contract with SKA for three years. And then we'll see what happens. I said so about the family - it would probably be easier to go there. And so - well, don't want it. I don't see anything there that is better than here. - What is the NHL for you? - The NHL is the dream of every hockey player. Draft is already a dream. But you need to understand that you have to be ready to play there. Because to play in a farm club...? It's better to play here (in Russia). I have this opinion. You must be ready for the NHL, both physically and morally, you must be sure that you will play there. Like, for example, Andrei Svechnikov. He is ready both physically and in game.

Well..... Turcotte is a definite possibility, and theres injury concerns there.

Cant see Caufield at 3. But in the 6-10 range, hed likely be a good pick.

Vasili Podkolzin: Struggling at World U-18'sMeanwhile Hughes scores a hat trick against Finland in an elimination game. Not sure you can trade down anymore and expect to profit. Podzy's stock is down and nobody wil trade up to get him. In this situation you might as well draft the player you want the most. BPA is no longer Podzy. Might as well get first dips on the "next tier". And hope you find a franchise player. I think the mental makeup of the player is important. No-one here knows how dedicated each kid is, so speculation is futile. In-depth interviews are necessary. None of the 3-8 picks are guaranteed NHL ready stars. Get the kid who really really wants to make it. No idea how you know who it is, as evidenced by my previous years' prospect rankings.
