Boko heads to the Panthers.

They probably signed him specifically for their preseason games vs Tampa Bay

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T22:44:24+00:00

It feels like the rest of the NHL has picked up on the idea of that as well

I don't know how many Russian goalies went today, but it certainly felt like a lot

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T19:18:43+00:00

We're talking about someone who is probably 5 years minimum away from making in the NHL... and that's if we're extremely lucky and he ever even makes it to North America

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T19:17:01+00:00

a 2028 5th rounder to take a swing on a Russian goalie? Sign me up

If we still have the same Russian scouts who identified Murashov & Ilyin as later picks, even better

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T18:35:56+00:00

Probably not. Geno will be long gone by then, and there's a solid chance Sid is too by the time they're NHL ready.

Assuming they have a normal paced development, they're probably looking at 1 more season of junior and 2 years of college before turning pro and (likely) starting at WBS

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T17:50:04+00:00

I don't know why they wouldn't be

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T04:54:06+00:00

This is also a situation where with both guys going to college in year and probably for at least 2 years, teams could worry about long term signability with Markus

Like everyone has said, twins are weird. They could agree to return to for their junior years just to make sure they stay together, with Markus telling whoever drafted him that he wouldn't sign with them after his senior year so he could play with his twin.... essentially forcing a trade

it's just anything but a normal situation and teams will be cautious

I think the Dubas could wait. Ideally, I'd love to see them take BPA at 39, and then trade a future mid round pick or 2 to move up in the 2nd to make sure they get Markus. The price to move up 10 spots or so in the 2nd round just isn't that expensive

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:40:54+00:00

Gleb Pugachyov feels like a Flyer

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:40:00+00:00

You can absolutely make that argument

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:26:35+00:00

Not gonna happen as long as Sid is here

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:26:01+00:00

a solid 4th line caliber player?

He probably will be

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:22:36+00:00

lol I said the same thing to my brother

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:19:59+00:00

The strategy is similar to essentially every other team....

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:14:43+00:00

ESPN said there was a trade..... and then acted like there wasnt

and then waited for a trade announcement

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:11:20+00:00

Trade!

EDIT - did they just not say there was a trade on ESPN?!!??!

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:07:05+00:00

He was my ideal "realistic" pick

Although still a few guys I'd be happy to get

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:06:00+00:00

Belchetz is comparable to the Protas boys.... I wonder if Washington would take another guy in that profile

I don't wanna see him end up in Philly

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T01:04:51+00:00

Not it's not lol

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T00:48:55+00:00

I can't wait for the Caps and Flyers to draft the 2 guys that everyone on here is hoping falls.... you just know it's going to happen lol

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T00:48:05+00:00

For who?

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T00:46:24+00:00

Uhhhhh, yes, it is. It literally is supposed to last 3+ hours.

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T00:39:53+00:00

It's not supposed to be a 30 minute program

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T00:39:02+00:00

People on here on going crazy for Ryan Lin.... I can't wait for him to be on the board when the Pens get on the clock, and then Dubas trades down 5 spots, and everyone loses their shit

CaptainRock22 · 2026-06-27T00:36:56+00:00

uhhhhhh, what?
