Barinka and Bergenheim

[Chelios]

I was just wondering whats going on with Michal Barinka and Sean Bergenheim. I haven`t heard a thing on either of them since the world juniors. I was just wondering if they are coming back (Bergenheim to the NHL and Barinka to the AHL) any time soon.

I was also wondering how good these guys are. Haven`t really seen either of them play.

The NY Islanders, Jokerit and Sean Bergenheim reached an agreement, that Sean would stay here in Helsinki for the remainder of the season to play for Jokerit.

It´s much better for his development to get more ice-time, and a more important role with the puck. With the Islanders he would have played a fourth line role with few minutes per game, which doesn´t necessarily aid his development into the player he can be.

I´d say Sean is a very talented player. Has fantastic speed and hustle, and is good with the puck once he gets his touch back. Had tons of chances at the WJC´s, but just couldn´t get the puck in the net more than once. But he was able to create nice scoring-chances for himself with his speed and skill.
