North Buffalo Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 7 minutes ago, Curt said: I get it that it’s one of the more common things that prospects need to do, but (1) 5’10” is exceptionally thin for the NHL, and (2) it does take real work and effort for many people. Yes, people put on weight as they age, but some people have a heck of a time putting on any mass until their late 20’s or 30’s. This guy needs to add a lot of mass in the next couple years. There is a certain urgency to it. At the same time, with dedicated nutritionists I’m sure he will be fine. People talk about things here every single day that I have no interest in discussing. No need to engage. Normally agreed but blantant misinfo gets under my grill... signed A Grumpy Old Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said he needs to put on weight. I never said he can't or won't. There's what, 800 players in the NHL and maybe 30 of them under 180 pounds? None of them are 150.

Lol Never forget a Friend's Mom in my 20s when Id go over to his families house... first thing that she would say is you are too skinny sit down and let me feed you. Hungry or not I would get fed a 3 course meal... Steve would shrug and say just accept it... you cant argue with her. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him playing a role like Hinostroza. He also seems to have a knack for finding the calm spaces in the offensive zone to get a clean shot. We'll see how that translates in North America. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quote DieBytheBlade: "What to know: 18 year old winger, 5’10” & 174 lbs." 2 Didn't Kevyn Adams say that they looked at his parents to get some idea of his growth potential? Didn't they say that they expected Kisakov to be able to get big enough? A quick search didn't reveal a text version of these statements however. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t trust DBTB over other sources for information like this. They probably just messed up the weight one time in a rush to get the story posted right after he was drafted. In August they listed him as 5’10” 150. https://www.diebytheblade.com/2021/8/31/22649495/buffalo-sabres-top-25-under-25-22-aleksandr-kisakov-nhl-prospects 2.

I don’t recall Adams staying that stuff, but he may have. I seem to remember him talking about a prospect, maybe Kisakov, maybe not, and he said he looked at not only the father but the uncle (mother's side I think) as well. And they were both pretty big so the thought was that the prospect he was talking about could still grow more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 idk. I have mixed feelings and won't decide on whether or not I like this guy until I find out if he likes Putin or not. Just as long as they don't give him Dave Andreychuk's old number I guess it'll be okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
