Among the CH bank prospects, Bogdan Konyushkov is undoubtedly one of the most interesting names. The 21-year-old defender, who is under contract in Russia for the next two seasons, is already a big name in the KHL.
It helps a lot that his coach, Igor Larionov, has a lot of confidence in him.
So Konyushkov, who is a fixer, is seen sharing as a defender who could be part of the club’s future. It is still very early to say for sure, but the potential is there.
Among those who believe in him, is Larionov, who sees the young man as a man who could have an impact with the CH in a few years. And to illustrate his point, he cited a well-known name in Montreal:
Bogdan Konyushkov has the potential to reach the level of Mikhail Sergachev. – Igor Larionov

Because in fact, he also mentions the names of Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin and Kirill Kaprizov … and we agree that the defender will not be as talented an attacker as his compatriots.
Larionov says he doesn’t want to praise his prospect too much because he knows development isn’t always linear, but he can’t help but praise his young defender, who he truly sees as a player who can there to help CH in the long term. term.

The youngster seems to want to come to Montreal sooner or later, and if he continues to develop, he will eventually have a chance to prove that he can contribute to Montreal’s success.
In two years, that said, the picture will be a little clearer for the future defensive brigade at home, so much so that he will have to overtake guys who are already established. On the other hand, if he contributes significantly to the level of a man like Sergachev, it will be a pleasant surprise for the Habs, who will have a young 23-year-old defender on the right to add to their brigade.
