LW Artemi Panarin (2010 undrafted; 2015 signed, CHI)

[Caser]

Bump.

Who does he sign with in the NHL? St. Louis?

It's obvious: he is big as a Bruin.

 

[Fantomas]

Would be a solid second-line winger in the NHL. I'm sure people remember him from that gold medal-winning WJC team. He doesn't get rattled.

 

[RyanOhReally]

It's obvious: he is big as a Bruin.

He's actually pretty small. 5'9"-5'10", around 170. Kind of reminds me of a Russian Jaden Schwartz.

 

[CrosbytoKessel]

Sounds like Malkin's winger.

5'11'' - hardly small.

too bad going by their recent history I expect the Penguins will not even consider him as an option.

After all, they already have Comeau and Spaling to complete Malkin's line




and waste his talent for some more time

 

[Caser]

Hope that Panarin's example will show young Russian players that while draft stock is, of course, not the last thing in the world, it's the development itself that is important after all. Keep working hard and everything else will come.

 

[RyanOhReally]

5'11'' - hardly small.

He's roughly the same size as Marner, but he's played against men the last 5 years. He can take a hit too

 

[touchnotthecat]

When is his KHL contract up? This year? Probably unlikely but I'd love to see a dynamic russian on the Canucks. Give Tryamkin a buddy.

 

[Parliament]

Contract ends this year apparently. Additionally, it appears that 10 NHL clubs have reached out to him about coming over..

 

[KovalSNIPE]

come to NJ!!! You could be a new face of the franchise. Kinda sad to think about as well...

 

[thethinglonger]

Scored the OT goal in SKA's game against Dynamo last night. Bumping this thread up because I'm really hoping he does come to the NHL.

I bumped this last month because I heard that he was one of the guys coming over. I still think he signs with St. Louis.

Schwartz - Lehtera - Tarasenko
Steen - Stastny - Oshie
Berglund - Backes - Panarin
Ott - Jokinen - Jaskin
Reaves - Goc

Bouwmeester - Pietrangelo
Gunnarsson - Shattenkirk
Lindbohm - Jackman
Butler

Elliot
Allen

That would improve one of the best teams in the league. 10 players who are Top 6 talent, all players play with considerable grit. Even the defence is stellar. 3 Top-2 defencemen, a bonafide Top-4 in Gunnar and then the promising young defenceman Lindbohm with the wily vet in Jackman. And then you have two #1's in Elliot and Allen, if Elliot even wants to return.

Saw the highlight of the goal , great goal, but can't find the individual play itself though to post.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Russian Johnny Hockey. Could very well have the same impact Johnny's having whenever he crosses the pond. Special talent.

Alas, undrafted. Those scouts know so much don't they. What's this talk of...cough cough ''size'' matters?

Right?

Russians have been showing since the 60's it's if you have a brain for the game and that's all that matters not whether your 5'7 or 6'3. Laughable, people draft because a player is big instead of a small player with brains.

 

[McMatthews]

Any idea when to expect a decision on Panarin?

The Maple Leafs signed Soshnikov yesterday, which is uncharacteristic of the organization. It appears Brendan Shanahan will have no issues going after Russian talent. Panarin could likely play in the NHL after the Maple Leafs strip the roster of the core. Toronto also has the benefit of having the AHL in the same city, as opposed to having their prospects travel hours from the AHL club to the NHL city.

Panarin would be a fantastic addition, it appears.

I think you won't hear about his decision before the summer.

That would be awesome, chances are that would be enough to let Berglund go though. I don't think Reaves would get pushed out as a full time guy either.

come play on malkins wing

 

[The Greatest 101]

Malkin needs you.

 

[66-30-33]

I'm fine giving him a shot for a few years and see what he can do at the NHL level. The KHL's Patrick Kane with Malkin could have some potential there.

 

[thethinglonger]

With 3 assists for SKA today, Panarin now has 5 points (1G 4A) in the last two games. Unbelievable.

 

[hockeey]

How does panarin compare to moses and which one projects to be more successful when they reach the nhl?

 

[helicecopter]

well, they lost the previous game 3-1 so unbelievable is a fitting way to describe that report

Eliot Freidman says up to 20 teams have showed interest in him and the current series is being heavily scouted by NHL teams. My guess is guys like Dadonov and Shipachyov are also getting looks. Thikonov will probably land in Arizona again next year. Maybe Yudin is also being watched.
