* According to Russian hockey reporter Roman Solovyov, Flyers defense prospect Valeri Vasilev has already decided to cancel his contract for next season with KHL team Spartak Moscow. Vasiliev may have interest in joining the Flyers organization sooner rather than later, after initially saying that he wanted to play a couple years in Russia and focus on adding muscle to his frame while gaining pro-level experience in the KHL.

from meltzer today.

interesting.

The Vasiliev news is exciting. Hopefully he is in Adirondack next year. He and Alt could be our bottom pair shut down defenders of the future

From reading the guys on that list, I like that kid Ahti Oksanen:

Ahti Oksanen, D
Sophomore, Boston University (Hockey East)

Ahti Oksanen has been arguably the most consistent player on a struggling Boston University team this season. Although he’s been on the scouting radar for quite some time, Oksanen’s developmental progress and numbers are making NHL teams pay closer attention to him this season.

The Kirkkonummi, Finland native currently ranks second on the team with 24 points (seven goals, 17 assists) in 35 games to date. His four power-play goals lead the Terriers, while his 17 assists co-lead the team. Oksanen, who has played much of the season as senior Garrett Noonan’s (NSH) defensive partner, logs upwards of 20-25 minutes of ice time per game playing in all situations. He is as effective on the penalty kill as he is on the power-play.

Oksanen is an excellent skating, two-way defenseman with size (6’3”, 207 lbs.) who possesses excellent puck-moving ability and has improved his decision-making with the puck. He shows good poise and patience with the puck and can make crisp, tape-to-tape passes. He can also quarterback the power-play quite well, too.

One of Oksanen’s attributes that has really gotten the attention of scouts is his shot, particularly from the point. He possesses a very hard shot and can get pucks to the net. For a man his size, Oksanen skates remarkably well. His improved footwork has added to his overall speed and allows him to be quicker in transition. On the defensive side, Oksanen has made great strides in his one-on-one play. He uses his strengthened frame and added grit effectively in limiting time and space. He is also an outstanding shot-blocker.

I don't know. So that's probably bad for his credibility, but I still appreciate it.
