I have a lot of concern with Hulttunen especially after that Calder Cup final. He's just not a 5v5 chance generating forward and not a smart enough for-checker. Hes got all the tools and no toolbox.
On the flip side, watching Chernyshov in the AHL playoffs, he was THE best forward on an injury riddled Cuda team in only his 3rd AHL game. He's just built to play pro hockey. If Misa were to stay in Juniors/NCAA, I'd say Cherny is a 50/50 to make the team out of camp, and that increases significantly from there with any injuries to NHLers
Halttunen probably won’t ever be a top 6 guy, but he’s gonna score on the PP. Chernyshov is more well rounded and ready to play in the top 6. Musty is more like a boom or bust prospect.
A wild card and I don't think I'm crazy to think so, but I wonder if someone like Brandon Svoboda can crack the lineup. He seems like he knows his role, can role play on the bottom 6 fowards and use his frame in a way guys like Coe haven't figured out
