Prospect Info: Jets Prospects

[Duke749]

Injury is always a risk. That risk was there if the WJC had been played normally. It would have applied to the NHL's star players if they had been at the Olympics. Players sometimes get injured during off-season training, or cutting their lawns.

Geez Mort, ya think so? Don’t think that crossed anyone’s mind.

 

[Atoyot]

Torgersson is starting to put up a few points here and there. 3 assists today, nothing the previous 2 games, 2 goals the game before.

[MardyBum]

Hard forecheck? Sign this man immediately

 

[Atoyot]

I've seen him push people around in the NCAA, never thought I'd see him do it at the Olympics against men like he did. He's strong.

Anybody seen why Lucius has been out this weekend and last? Hoping the knee issues haven’t returned

 

[ICdave]

Smith scored again.

Yep. He’s one of those guys who is an athlete first and hockey player second, if that makes sense. Does a lot right without the puck and we know what he can do with it. Very excited to see him with the Moose — my guess is that he picks it up pretty quickly there also.

 

[Heldig]

Smith will look good on Dubois' wing.

 

[Atoyot]

Smith will look good on Dubois' wing.

I'd prefer to have a scoring 3C.

 

[Atoyot]

Dmitry Kuzmin is coming on lately. 4G3A in his past 3 games. 9G6A, 15 points in his last 12. Up to 28 points in 39 games.

Torgersson had the primary assist on the only goal in the game today.

Rashevsky played his first non-exhibition game in awhile. No points and lost 6-3 in the first game of the playoffs.

 

[theslatcher]

Torgersson now with 10 points in his last 11 games. Before that he had 6 in 26. Only 3 games(and one period) left for AIK in the regular season, who will either go directly to the Quarters or Eighth-finals in the playoffs.

I am coming to believe that Chib and Rash will never see a day of playing time in North America.

Based on?

Based on?

Based on the fact that is it will likely be increasingly irrelevant that they are athletes and their destiny will more likely linked to their citizenship and not their talent. What is happening in Ukraine has roots hundreds of years deep; with the collapse of the USSR, and the 60 plus years of Soviet/Russian & NATO resource/territorial/geographic jockeying, and the dividing lines on all fronts (media isolation, social media blocking, sanctions, industries cancelling or altering contracts and commitments, and sports blowback like ParaOlympics and Russian/Belarusian Athletes, F1 Russian Grand Prix and the Russian driver being turfed, CHL not drafting Russian or Belarusian players, etc). The move by Putin is one way street and it will have harden the lines on any and all dealings with NATO countries, political, business, economic, and also sports. I would not put it past the Russian regime to crystallize the viewpoint that athletes who wish to cross the pond are dancing with the perceived enemy. This invasion will be a move echoed in history; Ukraine's utility as nation for both NATO and Russia is so vast economically, tactically, and socially that it truly is now ground zero post-WW2 ideologies.

Putin's move to invade changes things, including what it looks like for Russian NHL prospects. My sense is those lines will also be hardened moving forward as the conflict will never go away. It has been amped up past diplomacy into a military invasion. So it will now be equal or worse politically and militarily. And as a lifelong student of history, Putin's signalling to the West via an invasion is one hundred percent cause for alarm. It is a pickle won't go back to being a cucumber. So this is why I am coming to believe that Chib and Rash will likely stay put.

God I want to be wrong on that.

This is definitely a pivotal point for world politics and international relationships. Maybe it's too optimistic, but there is also a small chance that this is Putin's downfall and Russians could push back. But the propaganda is strong.

I think a lot of athletes, like our draft picks, just want to play hockey (and live a comfortable lifestyle) - but I think you're likely right... Governments like to use athletes as political pawns.

This too shall pass.
IDK how long it will take.

If we trade Scheifele I hope we draft Geekie to replace him down the road.

I wonder what effect(s), if any, this will have on a guy like Kuzmin, who is already in North America.

I know he isn’t Russian, but if Belarus continues to heavily support Russia, I can see more and more sanctions hitting them.

I suspect you're right, but Kuzmin is over here, and I think will do everything he can to stay here in NA and be able to continue his career, whether or not he's eligible for international competitions through Belarus.

On another note, grace a dieu for this thread, and to those who take the time to update it. Still the sanest, happiest place on the subforum.
