Regarding CHL Import Draft, have a look here: http://www.russianprospect.com/articles/chl-import-draft-russian-review - Alessandro Seren Rosso Wed, 30 Jun 2010 11:06:25 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/17-archives-other-articles/2908-reports-from-russia-after-the-nhl-entry-draft#comment-6779 Kuchin's 19, not 20, so I'm not sure if that would defer a NHL team. I think teams saw Jaden Schwartz's numbers as a 17 year old and thought less of Kuchin's point-per-game stats as a 19 year old. Then again, Kuchin blew away his teammates for team lead, so I too was surprised no one plucked him. IMO, he should report to Sudbury this fall if he wants to take one more shot at getting drafted. Also, just an update for you: Blidstrand has confirmed that he's going to be playing in the WHL next year, and I'm sure PHI picking him was a huge reason why. Very good article, in my opinion. Would you mind tackling the CHL Import Draft for your next piece? Lots of Russians taken there, most of which are unknowns in North America. - studley49 Wed, 30 Jun 2010 10:24:32 +0100
