Hockey over there is different. You can't really go by stats. I'm sure alot of that time was spent on bottom lines.
But I agree. I'm the biggest fan of Koltsov on this site, and I'm not predicting all-star appearances already. I'm just happy that he is in North America, and that he is playing well in training camp.
He's played well enough to make the team, which is great. But that's all he has done so far. He has two NHL games under his belt. I'm just hoping that he can stick with the team and continue his solid play and improvement.
Maybe several years down the road we can talk about all-star appearances, but I wouldn't count on it.
However, the young stars game is certainly within reach.
