Confirmed Signing with Link: [ARI] Dmitrij Jaskin signs with the Coyotes (1 year, $3.2M)

[jay from jersey]

Nice KHL stats, going to be interesting to see if he can produce in the NHL now.

Good solid player with snarl. Hopefully he fine tuned his offense a bit over in Russia. If not still a solid 4th line banger.

now trade us Dvorak and Crouse please?

You traditionally pay 4th liners $3.6 Mil per?

You'd be surprised....

 

[Art.Vandelay]

You are right, i read it wrong. $1.8 even for a 4th liner is a little high but maybe they have other things in the plans for him.

The Coyotes roster wasn't deep last season. If they ship out Garland, Kessel, Dvorak, Bunting, I'm guessing Jaskin is 1st or 2nd liner on this team.

 

[jfhabs]

Very good gamble IMO

Brassard replacement

 

[uncleben]

A lot more than I would have imagined

A lot more than I would have imagined

That’s actually less than the two year 3.6 million Craig Morgan reported.

 

[shpongle falls]

I wonder if his skating ability has improved while playing in Russia, if he's significantly faster he could be good. Hard to believe he was a point per game player for 2 seasons in the KHL. Hope it works out for him in Arizona.

I think it’s a mistake. I think it’s a 2yr deal for a total of 3.2mil, meaning 1.6aav.

Whoops. I completely missed that Stricklands tweet says 1 year. Yeah that’s bull shit.

I think it’s a typo.

 

[Holy Slapshot]

He must really feel the urge to play in the NHL if this is true because 1.6 per is brutally less than what he may get in Russia. Also hard to believe he can sign this and therefore automatically become 4th liner again... But who knows - great move for Coyotes if true.

It's 1.8 / year for 2 yrs.

 

[Chojin]

I was always a Jaskin fan. He never scored all that much, but he was great defensively and worked well in the top 6 (vis a vis GF% and possession). People just wanted him to put the puck in the net more, but that's not the only way players can contribute.

Anyway, I hope he does well in Arizona.

 

[izzy]

guy averaged like 3goals/year the last 3 years he was in the NHL. as seen in the KHL, his game is more offensive minded, and doesn't have the game to be a 4th liner in the NHL.
tweener... nothing to see here

He was always solid defensively in the nhl, so this isnt really that true

the main issue would be his skating

Maybe it is 3.2 on a 1yr? I don't know what to think. It seems like it should be some number in the middle, there?

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

That's a lot.


Oh well they have the capspace.

 

[Hostile Offer]

I mean, it's a one year deal so no biggie but what exactly has Jaskin done to earn $3.2M per year salary?

 

[JustAnotherHockeyFan]

He was already a 2-2.5 million dollar player before he left when the cap was like 70 million. Even if he didn't improve its a fair ish deal, and it looks like he improved significantly

 

[EastVillageBlues]

Seriously ?

This is like 3X the amount I thought he would get.

 

[BlueOil]

will be interesting to see how much jaskin's game has grown

 

[AjaxManifesto]

I always liked him when he was on the Blues.
