In the KHL, in playoff action, Alexander Kadeikin didn’t play as Lokomotiv Yaroslavl lost 2-0 to SKA St. Petersburg.
SKA got two goals from Ilya Kovalchuk, and SKA now leads the semifinal series 2 games to 1. If I may be impolite, barring a termination of his KHL contract, Kadeikin has likely played his last game as a Red Wings prospect.
In the SHL, in playoff action, the underdog had its day as Christoffer Ehn’s Frolunda Indians lost 2-1 to the Malmo Redhawks. Ehn finished at -1 with 1 shot, winning 33% of his faceoffs in 14:03 played.
Malmo leads the best-of-seven quarterfinal series 1-0, and Ehn is under contract to the Red Wings, set to join the Wings’ legion of checking forward prospects in North America next season.
It’s a shame about Kadeikin. We never got a chance to see him over here. Hate to see prospects let go.
Maybe another team will treat him like a Prospect???
I really don’t know the background, but did KH ‘over-ripen’ Kadeiken to extinction?
No. I don’t understand why the assumption is that Ken Holland is somehow responsible for Kadeikin’s status–the Wings never got a chance to see him in person since he was drafted, and that’s because *Kadeikin* signed a long-term deal with his Russian team, got traded and signed a long-term deal with his current Russian team.
Old prospects??? New young Wings are https://www.tsn.ca/craig-s-list-bouchard-rocketing-up-draft-board-1.1031499
My job isn’t to guess about who might come next, though as the draft nears, I’ll try to post stuff like Craig Button’s lists…
