Anybody heard anything on what vasilev plans to do with his life lately? Seems like he's a pretty legit d prospect if he ever comes over.

I can't find a link, but Meltzer linked a Vasiliev interview back in September. Valeri said something along the lines of wanting to play three (I'm pretty sure it was three) years in Russia before coming to America. So there's a chance.

And for your viewing pleasure, this beauty

Here it is. The translation of horrible, but the point gets across.

- In your draftovy year in November you received a serious injury, but nonetheless, you chose the NBA Draft, "Philadelphia", then surprised?

- Not really send data just happened so happy - good. I aim to play in "Spartacus" another three years. Need to grow, grow, grow strong. Then, perhaps, happy to try their hand there - overseas.

- Once contact with the team?

- There is one person with him periodically communicate.

This is always good to see. We need to win sooner than later so lets hope these young guys come in and contribute to the third cup in three years.

Canada is about to lose in the Semi Final. It'll be Vasiliev vs Laughton/Leier for Bronze and Hagg for gold

 

[flyersfan4706]

I've had this gold medal game on in the background, so I haven't been closely watching. I have seen two pretty big hits from Hagg.

 

[flyersfan4706]

And Hagg got burned on the golden goal. Awesome

Grading Flyers Prospects WJC Performance:

Philadelphia Flyers: C+

• D Robert Hagg was an injury invite to last year's WJC to help run a power play and provide some skill. This year, his role was flipped, as he was a hard-nosed shutdown D for Sweden. Hagg was physical, got tough assignments, and was out there on the penalty kill. He performed well in this role. It will be very intriguing to see how he's used next season, which will likely be an all-situations role.
• F Scott Laughton steadily earned more responsibility from Brent Sutter for Team Canada. He's a reliable defensive forward, who on occasion flashed the offensive skill he displays in the OHL. He wasn't really a consistent offensive threat during the tournament, however.
• F Taylor Leier didn't play a ton, and when he did he was just OK, going pointless during the tournament. He's been impressive in the WHL, and I liked his hustle and quickness at the WJC, but he didn't do a ton in terms of scoring chance creation.
• G Anthony Stolarz only got one start, in a game against Germany that wasn't close. There wasn't much of a chance to get true scouting notes on him from that game, but he got a shutout, so it's hard to be critical as well.
• D Valeri Vasiliev didn't play much, slotting in as Russia's No. 7 defenseman. He was physical and made some defensive stops when he did play, but he's limited with the puck and not a blazing skater.
