Confirmed with Link: Kiselevich for 7th rounder

[Maukkis]

Especially since from the stat charts he looked like a real decent 3rd liner. Its not like PoMo didn't have spots open with all the injuries to try him out for a game.

Generally speaking, I am worried about the organisation's ability to evaluate defensemen. Aside from our scouts, it seems like the personnel value the wrong things and favour players who don't manage to prevent offense against or create it themselves. While this is certainly one of the more minor occurrences of this, it just adds to the body of work that extends a long way back.

 

[Ducky10]

Yeah I agree. I find it frustating when 6th & 7th round picks are dumped for nothing or treated like garbage or labelled as “who cares”. Sometimes great players get selected in late rounds (just for e.g. the top trade deadline acquisition (Mark Stone) was picked in the 6th round). Hopefully there was a purpose to trading our 7th round pick other than to have a player sit in the press box.

6th and 7th round picks are not hard to reaquire, for the very reasons you state. It's like shuffling deck chairs.

Too bad this guy didn't get into any games - seems unlikely we'll see him in the playoffs either
I wonder if he leaves in the summer.

 

[untouchable21]

Yeah, would definitely have liked to see exactly what we have in him. If he is any better than some of the hopefuls next year, I would hope they’d attempt to re-sign him. Although I wouldn’t blame him if he went elsewhere. Nobody wants to be destined for the press box.

 

[Jetsetter]

Yes I wished we'd have played him for 6+ games to see what he's like in game situations.

 

[Huffer]

At the TD I wanted to see Kiselevich play more than Beaulieu. Maybe he's no better, but I wasn't a big fan of Beaulieu, and Kiselevich is more defensive, which could be something we could have used.

 

[pucka lucka]

Coach doesn't like to do things. I think he spends too much time coming up with BS on why is doesn't do things when asked over actually doing things to help the team.

 

[sting13]

Is he even in the city?

Yes, he was skating yesterday.

 

[AKAChip]

It will probably annoy me to the end of time that Maurice specifically said that he wanted everyone to get a chance regarding the move to put Hendricks in the lineup and despite the forwards being extremely healthy this season and the defence being relatively depleted for awhile, Hendricks got his four games and Bogdan got zero.

It may ultimately be meaningless in the grand scheme of things but it’s not like every defenceman who got into the lineup this season was playing untouchably great. A seventh round pick price is essentially free but you have the guy, you brought him in as depth and he theoretically may have to play in the playoffs due to unforeseen circumstances. How can Maurice justify not giving him a single game given all of those factors? It genuinely blows my mind.

Chevy got what he thought the team needed or might need. PoMo used what was avail to him as the head coach saw fit. Not everyone will agree with either. Thought Chevy did well for cheapish. Thought PoMo made too many poor decisions.

 

[Chewmasey]

I'm now hoping we picked him up for next year, get him here now let him get acclimated to the room/city Jet life and give him a real shot at training camp, if he signs here. I know the Jets were interested in him before Florida signed him.
Why he didn't get at least one game is beyond me.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Hmm, why don't they play him? He's a good defenseman, and the team has some D problems, as I understand it.

D Bogdan Kiselevich is going back to Russia. Gagarin Cup champion CSKA Moscow is said to be interested in having him.

 

[GJF]

I really hope he looked awful in training sessions and that's why PoMo didn't even give him 1 game. Other than that even giving away a 7th rounder was pretty much pointless.

Chevy was expecting a deep playoff run. Do we not still retain his rights?

I'd think so but why would the Jets somehow want to have him on his active roster next season if they didn't even bother to give him one single game after trading for him? Sure it's only a 7th, I get it... Still feels like a waste.

Chevy is high on him. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a Jet next year, eating popcorn in the press box.

He's 29 already. I don't get what sitting in the pressbox would do for anyone involved.

Depth.

 

[AKAChip]

Well at least we can say we gave him a reasonable shot and he blew it. He should have known better than to be Russian.

 

[Al Camino]

Kiselevich + Hendricks = 4 games played and 1 assist. Cost 2 draft picks. In what world is that even remotely considered a good return on investment?

 

[untouchable21]

Depth.

Just sitting around being depth may be good for the Jets, but if his first taste of what his career as a member of this team was any indication, why wouldn’t he go back to Russia.

 

[GJF]

Depth.

But if he isn't even good enough to get one or two games after we traded for him at the age of 29, why wouldn't someone like Poolman be in front of him in your depth charts? It doesn't make much sense overall.

He is.
