Rnd 7 #190 - Sabres - Vasili Glotov - C - Russia

[Taro T]

Proves TM hates Russians; waiting until their last pick to take one. (That HAS to be their last friggin' pick, RIGHT. They've already picked something like 32 times.)

[Rasmus_]

Lottery ticket, very skilled.  A rare rare very not Tim Murray pick.  Seems like he acquiesced to his staff. 

[Stoner]

Needs to work on his skating.

I've been tracking this because...  well, because. Sadly, I did this with the other 2010 core guys, too. Glotov is the final drafted piece of the Vanek puzzle (in terms of picks, we could still move people around)!

 

Vanek became:

 

2015 NYI 1st --> G Lehner, C Legwand

2015 NYI 2nd --> D Guhle

F Matt Moulson --> went to MIN w/ McCormick --> F Mitchell (to MTL); 2014 MIN 2nd (to WSH); 2016 MIN 2nd (to MTL) --> and here's where it gets interesting:

Moulson again, McCormick again, F Nevins, F Glotov, F Cornel, D Martin, D Gorges

 

Therefore, logically Vanek = Moulson, McCormick, Lehner, Legwand, Guhle, Nevins, Cornel, Martin, Gorges, and Glotov.

 

Happy Draft Days, all! (The best would be if we signed Vanek on a cheap deal so that Vanek could equal himself in this equation.)

Thats alot of tracking, thanks for the info

Agreed. Interesting stuff.

He was drafted by the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles in the CHL Import Draft today, so he will be playing in North America next season

Not a guarantee by any means. He did tweet that he was excited to be drafted, though. Probably a good chance but nothing set in stone.

Good stuff. Glad he committed to it. Good move. Seems to be more common now.

It's okay, I loved reading his whole Twitter.

[Robviously]

I'm at the point where I need this guy to make it just because his social media game is off the charts.

I love Bryzgalov.  I mean, wouldn't want him anywhere near my team, but boy howdy would he be fun to have a few adult beverages with...

[Huckleberry]

 

That pic alone of him when he was younger, seems we got a Russian fan in the system now :D

I am in the Buffalo!

 

He's already my favorite draft pick from 2016, I hope he gets good enough to make the team just to I can hear P-Ham interview him.

From GMTM

Vasily Glotov (7^th round, 2016) Lambert: “I thought every single time on the ice he got better. It’s funny because his first period in the scrimmage he came up to me and said, ‘you know it was my first time on the small ice and I’ll get better' and he did get better and he’s going to be a nice little player to watch.”

[3putt]

I like the reply to his tweet about his dad seeing the future, the tweeter asked if his dad has a picture of him in that jersey with a Stanley Cup

Interesting. Seems like GMTM has him pegged as a diamond in the rough. I wouldn't have expected that kind of commentary from him about a 7th round pick. 

Someone posted this over on reddit. Glotov and Panarin comparable?

 

[rakish]

Glotov's 17th year is non-descript, I have him at 131st in his draft class.

Since Glotov is an overager, I compare him with Eichel's draft class, and his year in 2015 comes in 57th for forwards, which is good for a 7th round pick.

 

Panarin's 17th year was half spent in the KHL, where he was 12th among forwards in his age group, and half in the MHL, where he was 40th among forwards

Panarin's 18th year was half spent in the KHL, where he was 19th among forwards in his age group, and half in the MHL, where he was 35th among forwards.

 

Panarin should have been drafted as a 17 year old, early second? Rasmus Asplund is a good comparable. Glotov should have been drafted as an overager by a team starting to study this stuff (there's about 8 of them), and was.
