According to Gary Lawless, his new agent is Mike Liut of Octagon Global Sports Management.
Mike Liut is also a former NHL'er so that suggests that Burmistrov is very motivated to get back to NA.
I have a very good feeling he will be in the NHL next year. Whether that is as a Jet or not is really up in the air. I think either way we get an asset that we didn't have last season.
Even if we trade Burmistrov's rights, it will be to a team that knows they can sign him and we will get a good young roster player back. I'd rather Burmi come back here, as I love him on our 3rd line but that might not happen. I just don't want to see the asset diminish further for us.
