Wow its like getting the band together with Stevefromglencoe and LA chiming in.
I’d like the Hawks to try to acquire Quinn too. None of Leyshunov, KK, Rinzel are guaranteed to turn out to be stars even if some flashes of it. We get Quinn for his years 26 and 27. Not sure we can resign him but a good run his last year could increase resigning here. We have two firsts next year, some good prospect D’s and young talent down the middle. I do think it’ll cost us one of Nazar or Moore, but to get a Dman of Quinn’s ability in his early prime doesn’t come often. Moore is playing much stronger and is looking much better, much more (drum roll) than just being fast. Nazar seemed gasped in the 2-game blowout stretch but his speed and skills haven’t even fully developed yet. He should come back even better next year. This is all EA Sports type trades but exciting.
We’d need a guarantee Quinn would resign/extend though. He appears wanting to go East coast which is against our odds.
What happened to West playing for Michigan State?
He is still a senior in high school and will enroll at MSU next year.
Mason West playing for Fargo tonight. Streaming on Flo Sports.

I don’t think ice size will make a difference as the KHL uses either the Finnish ice size (60mx28m) or NHL sized ice (60mx26m). They don’t use the Olympic ice size (60mx30m). Kantserov’s home ice is the Finnish size, but on the road he could be playing on either sized ice.
Just wanted to add, i don’t think you lead the KHL in goal scoring by being a perimeter player.
Folks he has 22 the next closest is 17.
How exciting all these kids are coming. Frondell is still scoring goals even if he’s being paired with Marcus Kruger.
What i like most about Kantserov, Frondell even Lardis they are all playing defense i really don’t know how much time Kantserov will need in the Rock considering he’s one of the best players in maybe the 3rd possibly 2nd best league and is defensively responsible.
Panarin made the jump seamlessly to smaller ice , i can’t see it being that much of a thing for the kid.
Kantserov moved to center this season and is playing on a different level. How about Spellacy on the line with Lardis and Frondell with Kantserov centering then 2nd line with Vanacker and maybe Pridham?
Move Crevier to Center and use him on shoot outs. An obvious move imagine the goalie seeing the big guy coming down the ice at him.
Re: Roman Kantserov
Oh, I think he wants to come and his resume will have a strong developmental year added as he already has surpassed his KHL totals from last year.
It is is always so difficult to attempt to gauge transition to the bigs, but I know his training camp performances will decide if he is an NHLer, or worth a shot as a NHLer right off the gate, or he gets defensive repitition in the Rockford.I know what I would like to see the Blackhawk coaching staff to do is place three prominent prospects on a line, leave themmthere and start matching the current checking unit against them, then the third line for a practice,then the Nazar line second unitin a practice and finally to a matching them against top line…no inserting them alongside two of the current teams players as most teams do.
I am talking about Frondell in the centre position and Kantserov and Lardis. Three lefties. You might find out very quickly how each fares defensively, and read their pro vitals in the defensive aspects.
and you what elese I WOULD DO?
I would try flipping Lardis to right wing, and Roman to left wing.
Lardis sets up so well form the right side of teh ice, and Kantserov needs to show he can play both sides and both players must prove that they are not a one trick ponies before they are elevated.
So new players arrivals are tough to guess how these guys fare.
The arrival more speed and scoring is welcome, but I doubt they hand the spots to anyone. If fact I am to the opinion they may want to extend a vet or two, and that may hamper saving any spots for any framboys.
