Ladies and gentlemen, we got him!

Another Russian guy (pretty old):

From elite prospects:

Rashevsky’s motor never stops. Be it on the forecheck and on the backcheck, at the start of his shift or at the end of his shift, in the MHL, the VHL, or the KHL, the forward is single-minded; he wants the puck on his stick and in the back of the opposing net. He rarely over-dangles, preferring to use teammates and make give-and-goes to get out of tight situations. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide

Jets love their late overagers lol.

Maybe trying to give the other Russian/Belarus draftees the sense that the team is serious about making it work for Eastern Europeans.

Sounds like Brandon Tanev. Wonder if he goes to Jets camp or stays in Russia.

Ranked #100 by ELITEPROSPECTS.COM

6'1" 165lbs.

Appears to have a ceiling as 3rd liner. Although it is exciting to draft an 18 year old who slipped to 146, I am okay with taking him and hopefully he comes to North America next year. Hopefully, he expressed a desire to Cheveldayoff and his crew to play here before drafting him.

 

[surixon]

Only question that blacbook had is he may not want to come to NA.

still don't mind the pick.

Interesting. Did the Russians play more games this year? Interesting strategy

 

[WolfHouse]

Man I would have traded all these picks for something actually useable... the least excited I've been about a Jets draft - doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

We leaned heavily on Finland & Sweden the past couple years, almost ignoring the Eastern bloc entirely throughout our history. This year, 3/4 Russian/Belarussian players, zero Finns/Swedes. What gives?

That's cuz u just cosplay as a scout while the real guys do it.

Looks like this kid has a nice set of hands too to go along with that motor

 

[Mud Turtle]

I really liked this pick.

[schmockeyknife]

we could use a radulov type

 

[FrankGallagher]

Very, very talented player but I had heard there is limited interest in coming over. Good risk at this point in the draft

Let's call it Chevy's authoritarian period.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Feels a bit like one of those picks where they went around the room and asked if there was anyone who one of the scouts had a real good gut feel on. Usually reserved for the 7th rounders.

I think Chevy and Co do a good job of just taking what the board offers them. Consistently picking up the sliders and good value.

 

[voyageur]

Is he signed in the KHL, or can the Jets bring him straight in to training camp?

Is Mike Smith making picks again ? If we had any more picks I would expect a descendant of Sergei Bautin next. Actually that flashback makes me feel a little sick.

Like what they did last few days. Swinging for the fences it seems to see if they can connect on a couple. The kid in the 2nd is really interesting. Captain at U18s and put up the points for the Putin Army
