NEW Lou Korac Prospects Report - 10/26
St. Louis Blues Prospect Report: Korotky, Dvorsky, Pekarcik, Kaskimaki All Pick Up Offensive Slack
By Lou Korac

Russian forward, a 2024 seventh-round pick, nets first KHL hat trick; Jiricek extended point streak to four games; Loof scores first AHL goal
When shooters feel confidence, the puck seems to find ways to go in.
Such was the case for St. Louis Blues 2024 seventh-round pick Matvei Korotky.
The forward scored his first KHL hat trick for SKA St. Petersburg on Friday an an 8-1 win over HC Sochi.
Korotkey would open the scoring at 5:15 of the first period, then add a second at 1:51 of the second period and complete the hat trick at 5:04 in only a way goal scorers do it.
It's so reminiscent of a Sidney Crosby-type goal, following up his own breakaway rebound after a save was made and with no hesitation, firing a puck towards the goalie from at or below the goal line, which he did in this case:

Awesome. Thanks, TBone.
Love Härenstam is also doing well with a .930 save percentage. Want to keep an eye on him.

True.
Even so, many who watch do not see clearly.
I respect your vision.

Re: NEW Lou Korac Prospects Report - 10/26
When does Korotkys KHL deal expire, can he jump ship and come to camp next season? I wonder if he would require a guarantee to play in the NHL vs AHL?

Re: NEW Lou Korac Prospects Report - 10/26
Dalibor is still among the best 20 yr olds in the AHL which is reassuring and i dont feel like Springfield is really that good of a team
Lardis 9pts
Moors 7 pts
Dalibor/Perkarcik 5 pts
But 5 pts
And this applies to 21 years olds as well so I remind myself to be patient with Dvorsky

Not only that, he scored his goals against the infamous Russian goalie, Tretiak.
