Changing companies is different from changing careers. I’m an hvac technician. I’ve changed companies two times in 8 years. I never have to go through training when I move from one company to another. Any small difference can be explained in a single meeting or over the phone. But I don’t have to start all over again with training. Which is why I find it strange bakos has to. It’s not an issue. I just keep hearing about how hockey is a business and that isn’t typical business procedure. He’s already a pro, why is he with all the amateurs at “learn what it takes to be a pro week.” I don’t think it’s a problem, I think it’s just weird
That's nice. Do you really think a move from Czech Extraliga to North American pro hockey is anything like switching HVAC tech jobs?
Bottom line, there will always be competition for jobs and it is always smart to be one step ahead of other candidates. It's no different in the NHL. If I am Bakos and I want to wear the spoked-B this season, I show up early and stay late.
Again, see Joonas Kempainen. It was the same exact situation for him. This is nothing new.
Also - the Bruins were one of the first teams in the NHL to utilize a development camp for their young prospects. It's a major aspect of their player development model. If the Bruins asked Bakos to attend, it is because they think it would benefit the player.
Do you still think it is weird? If anything, it makes a lot of sense given Bakos was never drafted and has never attended an NHL camp before.
