Habprospects.com 2009 Annual Prospect Awards


Below is an excerpt from the HabProspect.com article:

Fastest Skater- To the overall quickest prospect

Danny Kristo

Runner Up- Ryan Russell, Maxim Trunev

When you watch Danny Kristo play, it's clear his game is based on speed, speed and more speed as he looks to have jets tied to his skates when he's flying up and down the ice.

Ryan Russell has some major wheels and he put them on display this past season as he lead the team with 4 shorthanded goals. The Russell-Chipchura duo would often be on the ice to kill penalties or help protect a one goal lead late in the game.

Trunev started the season in the KHL at age 17 but that didn't stop him from showing off his impressive foot speed and acceleration where he spent most of the season with Severstal but only saw limited ice time for the most part.
