I had a look at his profile on EP (Wyatt Johnston - Stats, Contract, Salary & More) and it seems he didn't play in the OHL during his draft year.
That is weird, he took his entire draft year off, other then the world juniors. Which does not make sense, since Canada would not bring him to the tournament if he wasn't playing.I had a look at his profile on EP (Wyatt Johnston - Stats, Contract, Salary & More) and it seems he didn't play in the OHL during his draft year.

"With the Ontario Hockey League canceling its 2020-21 season due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus, Johnston's only hockey came with Canada at the 2021 IIHF World Under-18 Championship. Playing a checking role, he scored four points (two goals, two assists) in seven games to help Canada win the tournament."
I'd already forgotten about COVID-19 apparently.
Ok that makes it make sense lol. So he was drafted with his 4 points in 7 games for team Canada and his 30 points in 53 games as his own marker of what he could be.

I assume that this is Nichushkin. Will they really be completely off the hook for his deal?
I guffawed!

Let's not forget the 1st time this happened, he was holding a woman against her will.
I hope he doesn't/hasn't hurt someone else.
Pavs only has 1 point in 11 games, would be ironic if he lifts the Cup during his worst ever playoffs.

I’m enjoying the Silovs story. How can you not like a goalie named Arturs?

Not that it matters -- dude obviously has problems -- but it isn't likely he was the one holding her against her will. She spoke to the police that someone who had her passport was holding her against her will. Likely her trafficker.
The likeliest story here is that Nichushkin has a coke problem and hired a prostitute (probably one of many), got caught and/or did too many drugs with her and she got super F'd up, he bolted for Russia, the team doctor found her (or maybe found both of them and had him get the F out of dodge and they got away with it). Absolutely not a shining example of a good teammate/sportsman/gentleman. But he's not likely the human trafficker.

While he's suspended, yes. They can't do anything until after that. So while I was joking, I was actually wrong - they need to keep that space open.

If you know how to buy a woman from a trafficker, you are not any better than the trafficker,

I'm with you morally, but the law disagrees.
Total speculation, but my pet theory is that the Seattle PD / FBI are trying to crack a big powerful ring of trafficking and basically squashed this story so that their infiltration/investigation didn't get compromised. The other reasonable explanation of course, is pure immoral stupidity on behalf of the NHL and Avs.

Yea Pavs gets a goal, I expected it but man the Stars in 2021 drafted two young centers Wyatt Johnston and Logan Stankylegkoven and they both get to be mentored by Pavs while that same year we drafted Eklund who got to be mentored by Labanc. Why why why.

you know it's interesting that there aren't many videos of NHL players lifting weights on the interwebs but a common one is McDavid, Janmark, Stamkos, and Kreider doing trap bar deadlifts and those guys are all big strong rugged playoff performers
so my point really is that I want Will Smith staying home doing trap bar deadlifts instead of playing 5 minutes a night against France at the World Championships. Smith needs to do what Kreider does.
