Pro Hockey RumorsJanuary 2, 2021 at 6:07 pm CDT | by Zach Leach6 Comments A pair of Minnesota Wild forward prospects currently on loan in Russia will go different ways for the rest of the season.
Lodnia is in his first pro season after five years in the OHL and has seven points through 27 KHL games thus far. The skilled American forward is expected to spend the rest of his season in the AHL, but could push for an NHL look late in the year if he impresses with Iowa. Meanwhile, 2018 third-round pick Alexander Khovanov will stay in Russia for the rest of the year.
Also a first-year pro, Khovanov scored 99 points in the QMJHL last year but is not as far along in his development as Lodnia and can take the rest of the year to work on his game in his native Russia.
I say bring Kravtsov back after the KHL season is over and join the team as opposed to playing in Hartford. Team can afford to let him grow and the talent is there to motivate him properly.
