Prospect Info: Jets draft RW Dmitri Rashevsky - 5th Round, 146th overall

[MardyBum]

Cooled down on his pace, but still having a hell of a season. Not surprising to see him slow down in his first full season in the big leagues(of Europe).

Still third on his team in scoring though, behind two guys who's line he's not on.

Also, for U23 players :

 

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

He has been stuck @ 19 goals forever…… bust!

Edit….
Might as well change his # to 69, change his last name to Rashev- stov and fade away into oblivion like Kid Lester !

Should we be looking at drafting any of these undrafted guys as overagers? Should we be thinking about Ilya Usov or
Artyom Nikolayev in the later rounds?

The thing with Russians is we own their rights forever so I've always wanted us to be looking for guys that passed through the draft with 6th or 7th round picks in case they want to come over at some point.

KHL has been shut down for the season. Expected to do playoffs sometime after the Olympics.

Yabbut - Rashevsky hasn't scored in ...... must be at LEAST 3 weeks! Bust.

It's been awhile!

Has there been a bunch of games for his team in the past while? I seem to remember hearing they've played very sparingly since 2022, but not sure if that's still accurate

Headline raised an eyebrow, but the last part he mentions playing in the NHL is any player’s dream, he’s under contract for one more year, and the KHL is a great league for development.

Sounds promising.

I believe him and the Jets were aligned with him renewing and getting a couple extra years there. Many in the KHL don’t want to play in the AHL. Gives him extra time. This is a sneaky good pick that I think will do is well.

I really like the idea of having a player do well in the KHL and if and when they come over they are NHL ready and already playing in their prime. Panarin was 25 when he moved to the NHL, Kaprizov was 23-24 and both these guys played at least 5 or 6 seasons in the KHL. I am not saying Rashevsky is anywhere near as good as those guys what I am saying is they were superstars and still took the slow path. There is something to be said for bringing over a fully formed player from the KHL. Rashevsky is 21 (22 in October) and going into his second full season in the KHL and I would like to see him get at least 3 full seasons in the KHL minimum (maybe 4). Assuming keeps progressing (fingers crossed) let wait until he is in his prime and is ready to walk on to our top 6 as a 23-24 year old.

For sure. The young Russian guys dont usually play a North American coach's bottom six game. If they they dont end up in the top six, or at least on a team that runs a skilled 3rd line, they end up getting benched, lose confidence and that whole downward spiral.

Rashevsky can be a great fit here. But you better be damn sure he can hold his own on 2nd line before you bring him over.

I agree, this year and one more in Russia for both him and Chibrikov should be just about right. By then we will have a real good idea of what they are as players and where in the lineup they will fit.

Yea really there is no rush. The AHL is absolutely a no go with Russian players living in Russia, your point is also good about not forcing them into bottom six roles early on in NA. There is nothing wrong with the boom bust risk that comes with Russian players that fully form in Russia over 4 or 5 seasons after the draft. I am not saying gift them a top 6 role I am saying wait until they are ready for it and if they don’t reach that level then at least they have peaked in Russia and you bring them over eyes wide open. Everyone is welcome to their take on this but that is mine for Russians that have played all their hockey in Russia.

I agree, Russians should develop in Russia. Russians always do terribly when they come to the AHL. The only Russian I can think of that made the NHL full time through the AHL instead of KHL recently is Denis Gurianov and even he had trouble being productive in that league for a few years.

 

[barriers]

Rashevsky's season started today, came close but no cigar

 

[MardyBum]

Really hope he and Chibrikov come over next year. Could make this coming rebuild/retool speed up significantly.
