LW Jan Jenik (2018, 65th, ARI; traded to OTT)

[FireBird71]

CHL is fine for his development path, but why the hell would you want to go to Flint? I know Nilsen was suspended for 5 years, but that whole organization continues to be a mess. You're right, wrong move.

Only issue was the first season...everything had been great since....ask Ty Deallandrea how Flint has worked out for him

 

[lanky]

So he is not. or...?

Good question. I just read through the Flint training camp updates and saw nothing about Jenik. Also this pre-game write-up says the Firebirds have 3 drafted players; Dellandrea, Busby and Gordeev.

Preview: Firebirds Begin 2018 Pre-Season vs. Hamilton in Buffalo Friday – Flint Firebirds

I think this kid is spending the season somewhere more Czech than Michigan.

For those who didn't know, Jenik changed from Czech league to the OHL midway through the season. After some adjustment time, he is now point per game with a 1G - 2A night (5-1-0-1 then 6-3-7-10). He was one day away from 2019 being his draft year.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

2G - 2A tonight

 

[Wooren]

6+12 in his last 12 games. Have to wonder where would he project to go in the draft if he were a day older.

I wonder with his size is now, he seems pretty big. He seems distinctively faster too than a year ago.

 

[Peasy]

3 more points today.

Wonder if Arizona keeps him in the OHL next year. If so, I'd expect a monster year.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Don't see a thread on this kid here.

Stats this season: 15GP, 11G, 17A, 28 Points, 16PIM, +6

I think he should be getting more attention. In terms of points per game, he is 6th right now in OHL. I like his skill set as he seems to be able to do many different things well, maybe not great.

Would anyone who has seen him play this season be able to comment on his play lately? Strengths? Weaknesses?

 

[jfont]

isn't he Kaliyev's center?
no wonder his scoring is up...

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Great passer.

Provides Kaliyev with a lot of awesome cross ice passes.

They both benefit from each other.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

18 games this season, scored at least a point in every single game so far. The only player in the OHL & in the CHL to do so this season.
0+1, 1+0, 1+0, 0+2, 1+0, 0+4, 2+2, 1+0, 0+2, 0+1, 1+0, 0+1, 2+1, 0+3, 2+0, 0+1, 1+3, 3+2= 15 goals, 23 assists, 38 points, 2.11 ppg

(also recorded at least one shot on goal in each of his games so far)

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

He's been an absolute monster lately as well, not just consistent

 

[Artorius Horus T]

He's been an absolute monster lately as well, not just consistent

Yup.

 

[czechgame]

It’s not just because of Kaliyev. He’s dominant by himself.

 

[Peasy]

What is also impressive is that he only has 11 power play points out of his 38. He's been dominating at even strength. He's also the youngest he could be for his D+2 season as he only turned 19 on September 15th.

Really interested to see how he does in the WJC.

 

[XX]

Pretty insane pace for a guy that's not on a strong team

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Another 2 goals.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Streak stays alive with 3 assists.

 

[czechgame]

Leads OHL in scoring

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Incredible.

and skates away like this is business as usual.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

It seems that Jan Jenik also, is good at hockey... last 10 games: 12 goals, 18 assists, 30 points, 3.00 ppg, +10, with 40 shots on goal.
49 points in 22 games this season.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Eventful hockey game for Jan Jenik; 1 goal 2 assists, 3 points, 7 sog, 6 pim, 13/17 at face-offs.
So the point streak is now 24 game long; 20 goals, 33 assists, 53 points, 2.22 ppg, +11, 86 sog, 30 pim

 

[Artorius Horus T]

I wonder... either (Yotes or Kings) gonna make a move in the near future to get both (Janik&Kaliyev) to their respectful teams.
There's obviously tons chemistry between these two on the ice, smart move would be to capitalize on that.

Kings aren't trading Arty Party, so... what does Arizona want?

Yotes aren't trading Jenik.

The idea of keeping CHL linemates together in the NHL is great here on Hfboards but it doesn't really fly in the NHL.
