Take this from someone who has watched both Afinogenov and Pyatt play...
1- Max has speed like crazy but does not finish. To be a goal scorer you must score goals, Max is not consistant enough in that to ever truely be considered a goal scorer.
2- Pyatt is a waste of roster space. His potential is zilch. The guy is huge but doesn't touch anyone (like I said in the Pyatt thread, I've always called him Snuggles). His biggest achievement was a hat trick fluke last season. He's a pretty boy, he stands around looking pretty and that's it.
There's a report from Western NY.
