Interesting that he's going to CBJ... Do they think he's far enough along to compete with Kukan and Harrington?

It doesn't necessarily mean he's ready or they want him to play - playing immediately in the NHL can be a signing perk. If it's between him walking versus being a healthy scratch for a few games and "soaking up the playoff environment", it's worth it in the long term.

I thought the same thing but then they played Carlsson in the playoffs his rookie season as well and he hasn't been back up since.

Glad we got him signed so there was no drama. Hopefully he does better than Carlsson and Collins before him.

Him coming to the Jackets is purely to burn one year off his ELC. Probably an inducement to get him to sign.

He is here to get the atmosphere and like super emergency. He will learn the team and go from there.

Jones Murray
Savard Werenski
Nuti Peeke/Gavrikov
Kukan Harrington

Gavrikov >>>> Peeke

Peeke hasn’t proven anything yet we don’t even know that he’s an NHLer.

Most of the defensemen have just started shaving, I am not worried about it. 9 defensemen 28 and under that are legit NHL players is pretty rare.

Gavrikov hasnt signed yet... look at my post history you wont find anyone on this site who is a bigger Gavrikov fan. I went crazy the day we drafted him haha. But Peeke for sure is ours we have to hope that russian wall wants to win here.
