[Insert Snoop Dogg 'WHO???' meme]

28 years old, currently leading Kladno in the Czech league with 51 points in 48 games - that's Jagr's team. Played AHL with Providence two seasons ago

 

[Run the Jewels]

Holy sh*t, that's huge! Time to plan the parade.

 

[MabusIncarnate]

We have been patient for so long, and finally it pays off. Next season, the rebuild is over boys.

Don't see why they wouldn't try him with Larkin and Raymond.

 

[stillwater]

Austin Watson recalled too. Don't see why they wouldn't try him with Larkin and Raymond.

Some other guy I've never heard of recalled as well.

 

[lilidk]

You never know. For sure he will be very good for GR

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

The contract is for next year, not this year, FYI.

Latvian hoss. 1st Latvian Wings ever signed?

I'm pretty sure yes.

He has had his highlights in the NCAA, then he went quiet and then led the Czech league or smth.
On our national team he played 4th line, being the big and gritty 4th line presence. I'd imagine it's something he could become for you guys. But if he really untapped his offense, who knows.

I only knew Kasparaites and Irbe, both were pretty good

Kasparaitis is Lithuanian though. Unacceptable.
If you knew Irbe, should have known Ozolins.

Third year in a row a Latvian is signed to NHL deal out of EU league.
Balinskis in 2023 became a regular for Panthers;
Abols in 2024 played some games for the Flyers;

Thanks Detroit for continuing the trend. In some 15 years we will participate in 4 nations cup at this pace.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

GR move. Yzerman knows he's about to purge their roster and have like 4 guys on DRW next year.

And Balderis , but he's 72 now, I liked him

And Balderis , but he's 72 now, I liked him

He played a few years before I was born, so I dont really have an opinion on him. No one to point out other than those guys, huh?
Funny how almost all the smaller hockey nations even up to Croatia had their legit NHL star in recent times, while we continue to quitly produce with our few 4th liners. Hope with Tralmaks we get another record for active NHLers next year.

Wait, what!?
They're gonna bother having the season?
I'm gonna just go ahead and get lit right now.
Was in no way going to do that on a Friday night before I heard the news.

Never thought I'd say this but... Lets go wings!
