So he's in Columbus? Nice.

Im not sure about Datsyuk. Alex is another Zettenberg, young Zettenberg ( imho )

Wennberg is really good at the come from behind pick pocket ala Datsyuk. He may not quite have the offensive upside, but his D could definitely get to that level in his prime.

Wennberg literally forces two turnovers in this twenty second clip. He should have gone backhand on that first attempt.

He was in Anaheim for those two weeks, in his agent training camp.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Excited to see him put on his new sweater tomorrow

 

[CBJx614]

He was in Anaheim for those two weeks, in his agent training camp.

So he's been in Anaheim for the last two weeks?

But I assume he's here for good after tomorrow seeing how training camp is only a few weeks away.

 

[Maylo]

So he's been in Anaheim for the last two weeks?

Yeah, this is like camp for his russian NHL clients
That's also our new ahl goalie in Cbj gear-Kulbakov.

Quite the intimidating figure.

 

[Maylo]

^^^ Yeah, those two will get along just great, despite language barrier

 

[Kshahdoo]

The jersey is too big and Artemii is too small. At least it looks like...

 

[Samkow]

I hate the new nameplate font.

I was thinking about that earlier. A line of Panarin-Wennberg-Atkinson would be crazy skilled and fast. Not a whole lot of beef on that line, but they should be able to skate circles around a lot of opponents.

Like JK said, we will see what Torts puts together.

 

[Forepar]

Thanks CBJW - made for a more interesting lunch hour.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I hate the new nameplate font.

Same, not a fan.

 

[major major]

I find that unwatchable.

 

[Forepar]

I find that unwatchable.

Yes it was awkward, probably not that good... BUT starving for hockey and needing a break from tax-related work.

Panarin will be a product of those two.

Watched the press conference and the 1on1 he did with McElligott.

The thing I liked alot about the press conference is when Arace asked him about the conception of him being a product of Patrick Kane. He took offense to it. Got him a bit fired up in his answer, and he kind of shot back with a "Everywhere I play people say I am a product of someone else." Then thanked Jarmo when Jarmo said "Kane also had his best seasons playing with Artemi". He seems like a very motivated kid.

He's also quite the jokester. When McElligott asked him about Wennberg, about how he liked to pass more than shoot and if he met him. he said "Haven't met him, but if he likes to pass, I like him already."

He also said he and Torts will get along fine because he blocked 2 shots last year, which was more than Kane.

 

[Hello Johnny]

Between today's conference and that youtube documentary, he seems like the Karate Kid of hockey.

 

[ViD]

weird there's still no Panarin T-Shirts in the official online store.

 

[DarkandStormy]

He also said he and Torts will get along fine because he blocked 2 shots last year, which was more than Kane.

He's the GOAT already

This guy's going to be a fan favorite

 

[Kshahdoo]

This guy's going to be a fan favorite

Yeah, it's hard to imagine, considering his almost 300k subscribers on Instagram...
