Crusader1969 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I've seen him ranked way too low for long enough and I'm not going to take it any more.... Time for Poltapov to receive some accolades. He starts the KHL season on CSKA's 2nd Line with Vladislav Kamenev and Vitali Abramov CSKA is typically one of the KHL's best teams.

And game misconduct… so not exactly the start I wanted to see. However, at least have one of their top prospects fall into the “power” forward category 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimlach Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Head butting is not a good penalty. Not very smart. Oh well, maybe he has “grit”. 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaller than that… Then they are just labeled as… Feisty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Let me know when he scores 25 goals in the KHL and then we’ll talk. Right now he is an unknown quantity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I know absolutely nothing about this player, but I know that the Sabres have drafted a lot of smaller, skilled forwards and could use some bigger and/or more physical guys to balance out the lineup. Perhaps this guy is that type of player. Obviously, he has to be able to play hockey at an NHL level too, but every guy in the lineup doesn't need to score 25 goals and be an offensive star.

Carmel Corn Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Could he be a V. Varada type player with maybe more offensive upside? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team will need a Varada-esque player somewhere down the line. (And I include the PP2 goals and overall excellence in the 1999 playoffs in all my Varada statements.)
