6 teams have NHL sized rinks in the KHL. WJC was normal sized too. Not sure about the Olympic rinks in China.Marchenko went Chinakhov went, gotta get used to North American size rinks
If you're not a lock on an NHL roster you are taking every single opportunity to get on the ice in front of your org. He also barely speaks any English, he needs to be around English speakers on and off the ice every chance he gets.6 teams have NHL sized rinks in the KHL. WJC was normal sized too.

Plus we don’t have many Russians that speak very good English around. Marchenkos is good(better than my Russian) Tarasov maybe Chinakhov is still mostly Russian iirc.

He’s going to be 23 when the games start. 6’03” 190lbs, with 5 years of pro hockey under his belt.If you're not a lock on an NHL roster you are taking every single opportunity to get on the ice in front of your org.

Playing against 18 and 19 year old kids, yeah I just don’t get it. Most people consider prospects U23, and this is a tournament designed for recently drafted players IMO.
Marchenko was 22 yo (and I thought that was pushing it), Chinakhov 21.
To the bolded, why not send Sillinger who is younger than guys like McKown, Knazko, Pyyhtia, Svozil?
Justin Pearson is 25 which also makes zero sense.
Other younger players are not invited. Injury. Guys like Kocha Delic not playing much.What’s the downside of him playing?
Upset is the wrong word.I'm confused as to why we would be upset that Voronkov is playing.

Check out last year's rosters, most players in the tournament were over 20. And there have been other 23+ year olds so it's not uncommon for a prospect like Voronkov to participate.Playing against 18 and 19 year old kids, yeah I just don’t get it.

The Detroit roster you sent had 3 players older than Voronkov is, and all were college guys.Check out last year's rosters, most players in the tournament were over 20. And there have been other 23+ year olds so it's not uncommon for a prospect like Voronkov to participate.

Yet each year most teams seem to invite 1 or 2 players that have had multiple years of experience playing in pros.I think it’s different than sending a 23 year old with 5 years of pro experience - that is not common.
So instead they should fill empty lineup spots with random U20 camp invites who have very marginal chances of making it in the NHL?You learn a lot less sending older players than you do the young guys.
We have that too - see Jiricek, Pyyhtia, etc.Yet each year most teams seem to invite 1 or 2 players that have had multiple years of experience playing in pros.

Until he produces and solidifies his role, he has everything to prove. Nothing is ever guaranteed.I’m seeing one spot, which would be better filled with Sillinger, Weisblatt (ice time), or Delic (ice time) - rather than someone that has nothing to prove.
Invite guys you thought looked good at Dev Camp (like Poisson), and see what you might have. That’s my point, we really know what we have in Dima.

Makes sense. I’ve been going off this outdated chart.It's most of them now. The KHL decided to do NHL rink size and already the transition was half done two years ago. The home rinks in Kazan and St. Petersburg have been NHL size.
So why not invite Sillinger?Until he produces and solidifies his role, he has everything to prove. Nothing is ever guaranteed.
As long as he's unfamiliar with the team, language and culture, and the Jackets don't know how that's going to affect his play, off-ice well-being etc... I don't think we really know.Invite guys you thought looked good at Dev Camp (like Poisson), and see what you might have. That’s my point, we really know what we have in Dima.
The team isn’t there, this is a prospect camp. I’d rather him be hanging/working out with the guys. Hockey is hockey, the language of the game is universal. AFAIK Jordan Weal doesn’t speak Russian but was great on AK Bars. How he fits with your culture, is something I would assume you are trying to find out in the scouting/draft process, right?As long as he's unfamiliar with the team, language and culture, and the Jackets don't know how that's going to affect his play, off-ice well-being etc...

I’m skeptical 3 games in the outskirts of Michigan tell them much about the things you’re concerned with, for the team inside NWA.
