I always approve a Russian signing with Columbus.
He’s been really good in KHL and we need skilled centers.
In my opinion he is somewhat like PLD - got the size and the skill.
Quality signing.
Wonder if Wennberg goes to wing full time now? Or if he is moved in a deal.
Now, that’s not good, we need him to play centerIt's been awhile since he last played center though.
Sad face

Yay we have something to talk about!
How will he do with Torts?
Was he defensively responsible in the KHL?
Has his skating improved?

Not necessarily. We need LWers too. Not as desperate as C, but outside of Nyquist we don't have another top six LWer.
he mostly play RW now so I think you will both be unhappy. hopefully they can manage to form good line anyway lots of them are young they can learn to settle in other spot on lines. nyquist also started c then rw and now mostly lw lol
anyway 1.2m 1y is nothing to worry about.
For 1, apparently he talked to Gavrikov and Tyutin before signing with Columbus.A couple Old Guy questions;
1. If he was a free agent and could sign with any team, what made him choose the Blue Jackets? That answer would fascinate me.
2. I often wondered about the relationship between the CBJ and Dan Milstein after Artemi Panerin gave him the boot before signing a mega contract. Does this mean I just concocted some wild story in my mind, or has enough water gone under the bridge, or does the Old Guy just not understand the Jerry McGuire game.
3. Is this a 20-21 contract only? If all current player contracts expire on 6-30-20, and the current season carries past that date, could he play in some concluding games for the CBJ?
Jarmo said he'll get a look at all 3 positions. Him playing center was intriguing for them. I wonder how many games Torts would give him a chance at center.I still hope he could be a usable center, he’s got the size for it, his face offs are probably atrocious though now
