Player Discussion Artemi Panarin

[duhmetreE]

Why wasn't he drafted? He's not THAT small.

From what I've read, his grandpa was strongly against him coming here.

 

[FJB]

I know the cap hit is probably higher than many wanted, BUT he's a PPG player.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I was surprised to find that Panarin has had better stats than Tarasenko.

But how do scouts know this?

due diligence?

He's here for the borscht.

Borscht is actually the Ukrainian national dish, but I'm sure Panarin likes it also.

#10 for him. I like it.

Also these photo ops are great so far, check out Rangers twitter.

I hate it. Not a fan of the number. 27 would suit him better. But that's probably bc I like odd numbers better than even

Guy is lethal in OT

 

[Off Sides]

Panarin is a very good player, likely the best UFA the Rangers have ever signed, I hope everything goes swimmingly.

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

wow.

Cant tell me the #10 looks good on a Jersey lol

His grandpa will be fine when he sees an increase in the size of the money bags arriving at his doorstep by mule.

1. It's borsch, you Americans. Who the F put that "t" there and you started to copy that?

2. It is not a ukrainian or russian dish. It's from our perspective a southern dish, common for all of southern Russia and Ukraine.

From what I read his grandpa didn’t think he could handle the physicality of the NHL. He was concerned he was going to get hurt.

I don't think his grandpa cares about such things.

That was like 6-7 years ago.

On the cartoon rug rats, the children removed Skunk stench by falling in a vat of borscht.

1.NHL scouts are not doing their job on Russians to this day. They probably limited their scouting to the WJC in which Panarin rarely played alongside brandeď future stars Tarasenko and Kuznetsov(except for the finals where the coach used used him as a joker and he scored two on the line with the both aforementioned). Instead they drafted Kitsyn who was riding Kuznetsov's coattails all tournament long and you can look up his career afterwards.

2.Small for his draft year. The drift towards speedy smaller players is very recent in the league.

3.To make it clear, he is a late bloomer. In his draft year he was obviously not that sure shot top notch prospect, but obviously as well at least worth a gamble late round pick. Russian Factor propably resulted in a drop off to no pick at all.

I think he is more concerned about wellbeing and happiness of his grandson. If NYC is what makes him happy then grandpa should be happy.

LOL That's really an odd one, because isually those misspellings are from something similar sounding or whatever, but in this case it is a completely out of nowhere thing. Like someone had a typo and it did stick and made it's way into popular culture.

Yeah idk if the Grandpa thing was ever true in regard to staying.

I'm not saying that his Grandpa didn't have those feelings.

But how do scouts know this?

It’s literally their job

English has "silent" letters. It is not a purely phonetic language.

It has to with character representations of sub-lingual syllables.
