Catherine BogartGUEST
So I like this short in training camp.
Catherine BogartGUEST
I know it can be hard for the younger players trying to make a name, but I mean, Yegor Borikov, he made a name for himself, right? He played in the first preseason game.
Catherine BogartGUEST
They put him on the second game roster.
Catherine BogartGUEST
He did well in the second game roster.
Matt SmithHOST
So we had some roster cuts, and most of them were expected.
Matt SmithHOST
Iginla, Denwaye, Borikov, HeBig, all those guys were sent down.
Matt SmithHOST
But, I mean, surprisingly for me, nobody else, everybody else has eyeballs, right? I've got blinders on for Turbo, but Turbo was sent down as well, and he cleared waivers.
Matt SmithHOST
That surprised me.
Matt SmithHOST
We saw them play up on that second line last season.
Matt SmithHOST
So, The combinations are almost endless.
Matt SmithHOST
So the roster cuts, while disappointing, while not being able to see Iginly yet or Dinoye, Borikov, Gabe Smith, all of those guys, Artie Abduda had a pretty good preseason in my opinion.
Matt SmithHOST
Maverick Lamoureux might be due up here.
Mike FoltaHOST
So I'm not talking about the Ben McCartneys of the world who could come up and fill a spot.
Mike FoltaHOST
I'm talking about if you had to call up a guy to the mammoth who's on an entry-level contract, I think I would call up Yegor Borikov right now first out of that forward group of guys on entry-level contracts.
Mike FoltaHOST
And, you know, he doesn't have the ceiling, I don't think, that TJ Ginla has because his ceiling is astronomically high.
Mike FoltaHOST
You know, TJ Ginla, like, we're hoping is a 40-goal scorer in the NHL one day.
Mike FoltaHOST
But, I think Yegor Borikov, the way he acquitted himself to the NHL game during the preseason, nothing looked too fast for him.
Mike FoltaHOST
He never looked rushed or sped up, made a lot of simple plays, just looked like he belonged.
Mike FoltaHOST
I think right now, I think he would be the first ELC that I call up.
Tom CallahanHOST
But it is a more focused look now.
Tom CallahanHOST
Because Tijaginla, Caleb Denoye, Yegor Borikov, Gabe Smith, all headed down.
Tom CallahanHOST
Now the waivers among the forwards.
Tom CallahanHOST
Brandon Tanev has been waived.
Tom CallahanHOST
Another chance out there for Daniil Boot.
Tom CallahanHOST
Another chance out there for Yegor Borikov, who I thought also looked very good.
Tom CallahanHOST
Boot, Borikov, and Lee were aligned tonight, and I did not mind it.
Tom CallahanHOST
I actually really liked it.
Matt SmithHOST
I'm just trying to match the cap number with who is here And, I mean, it kind of makes sense, but then you're also going to send back a young player on top of that.
Matt SmithHOST
Would it be a guy like Yegor Borikov, who's really, really done a good job at rookie camp as well as the training camp in that first preseason game? Does he move the needle enough, or do you need to include a higher tier of player and maybe a denial boot going back the other way instead? That'll be interesting to see.
Matt SmithHOST
That's really what it is as far as like the best value in contracts.
Matt SmithHOST
And let's talk about Dylan Gunther's contract.
Nick OlczykGUEST
So you could go up and down the lineup.
Nick OlczykGUEST
And I think another guy to keep an eye on is, is Yegor Borikov.
Nick OlczykGUEST
I think he's continuing to impress the, And is going to be one of those guys that's going to be knocking on the door.
Nick OlczykGUEST
And no matter where he ends up, he will have made, I think, a real nice impression here in the preseason.
7 MINS LATER
Adrian DennyHOST
First of all, a nice tape-to-tape pass from Mackenzie Wieger to Boot, who carries it in.
Adrian DennyHOST
And what a centering pass to Lee there for the goal.
Adrian DennyHOST
But if you watch that carefully, you saw Yegor Borikov as the screen out in front there for Utah on that Anders legal.
Adrian DennyHOST
There were bodies in front.
Matt SmithHOST
I think he was the only guy on the team with a positive plus minus.
Matt SmithHOST
Oh, nope, Yegor Borikov.
Matt SmithHOST
He was plus one as well.
Matt SmithHOST
But when you look at that, he was out there for almost 23 full minutes, and he had a positive plus minus.
Adrian DennyHOST
So with you Monday through Friday on Mammoth Daily, Mike Fulton and I are your radio broadcast team and we'll be with you all season long as we roll the highlights for Mammoth Those of you on YouTube and Mammoth Plus, you got to see the beginning of Sebastian Cosa, the big 6'7 goaltender in a Utah Mammoth uniform.
Adrian DennyHOST
Saw a nice goal from Igor Borikov, the fourth rounder in 2025.
Adrian DennyHOST
17 goals last year in the KHL.
Adrian DennyHOST
That is a...
Dominic MooreGUEST
But there's an awareness level of, you know, when's the right time? And that's something Andre Tourney is always talking about, that he's watching because the coach wants to trust players when he puts them on the ice is that
Matt McConnellGUEST
decision making.
Matt McConnellGUEST
I thought Yegor Borikov was good tonight.
Matt McConnellGUEST
He had the goal.
Matt SmithHOST
And so there are those guys, and that's why I have them on the screen.
Matt SmithHOST
You also have Yegor Borikov and Max Sinitska.
Matt SmithHOST
He's been coming on here recently as a guy that could push for some NHL minutes as a defenseman.
Matt SmithHOST
He's only 19.
