fnveenie Posted July 12, 2016 Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Some people are sayinghe's one of four players from this draft who could play in the NHL this season. Doubt it happens but I'd like to see him get at least 9 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habs_Hockey_Nutz Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Some people are saying he's one of four players from this draft who could play in the NHL this season. Doubt it happens but I'd like to see him get at least 9 games. If he does impress at training camp I don't see why not. In fact, Weber would be an ideal mentor IMO. And I also believe it would solve the issue regarding a #2 d-man. Though Beaulieu remains in contention, my gut tells me Mikhail would have a greater potential and impact even at his current age. Acquiring him makes the Subban trade less hard to swallow. And possibly that may have factored into why the trade was made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How we jumped over the big centre and drafted a dman. Granted, not the same type of dmen, I believe Sergy is a left handed shot and left side dman. He should be a great replacement for marky. And if he's as mature as some scouts are claiming, we could see him with the club maybe this season or the next. I agree, Weber could be a great mentor for Sergy. Sadly, he could've been a great mentor for Tinordi as well, but that ship has already sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuckPundit Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hope he cements his spot from start to end of season. Most exciting rookie in the lineup since the 2 Gallys debuted in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifer_rocket Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Was he a healthy scratch last night? If so, just send him back to junior already. Jeeeeeeeezzzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsisme Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 To be fair, I think their plan is to keep him up BUT they don't want him playing more than 41 games. If I'm not mistaken that means he burns a year of ELC but if he plays less than 41 games it doesn't burn a year of RFA. Hard to say if its the right move, but if they don't think he can learn much more in junior, maybe it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis22 Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Keep him and play him . If other NHL teams can have rookies make it and be successful , then why can't the Habs. I forgot MT is the coach and his system doesn't allow for a player to excel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maas_art Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 A full season in Junior would probably help him more than 41 games with the big club, if thats really the plan. Not to mention you can pretty much guarantee that if this is really what our plan is we'll get to 41 games, have several injuries on the blueline and he'll be forced to play that 42nd game, burning off the year on his ELC with none of the benefits of playing a full season.

On Thurs,,, Sergy played 17 shifts and 11:48 TOI. All other D-men played 28 shifts or more. He should be sent down to get more ice-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptWelly Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 He's already said Markov was an idol of his. I imagine he'll listen and pay attention. If he develops into a young Markov it'll be great for the team and him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramcharger440 Posted October 19, 2016 Report Share Posted October 19, 2016 Looked a bit better last night quicker and more in tune with NHL speed hockey. I think easing him in slowly is a good move he is very young better to build him up over a few games than to send him in hot and over his head! he still has to get used to the pace and the headhunting that goes on at this level. if after 5 games or so he still does not seem to be steady enough to stay he needs to go but he looks like he is going to be the best dman we have had in a long long time.

I completely agree. I think it's human nature and just being a fan to want to see a young player with great potential to be a star right away and being played big minutes. I agree with easing them in and not rushing them, especially with defenseman. You want to keep their confidence up. Also as we sit we have a decent top 4 so we don't need to rush him. I hope he stays the season because going back to juniors not the AHL even with more minutes I don't think would be as beneficial. I say that because he would being playing against kids where as he needs to play against men at this point. Even if he doesn't get big minutes this year if he's up with the big club he'll learn from guys like Markov and Weber what it takes to be a pro. It's still a small sample but I like what I'm seeing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serial_Thrilla_27 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I kind of see this kid as the best of both worlds. He's got the skating and skill of a young Markov, coupled with the size and heavy hitting of Emelin. I believe this kid to be a complete package D-man. I also believe it's time to send one of either Pateryn or Redmond packing, if not both. I'm tired of this healthy scratch nonsense. I feel Sergachev gives us a better chance to win than Redmond and Pateryn combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
