This player (based on tonight’s game) is much better than I thought he was before we acquired him. Seems like a solid upgrade to the bottom 6.
Confirmed with Link: Namestnikov to winnipeg

HUGE shot block late in the 3rd!!!! He was solidly noticeable.
I'm very impressed with this Namestikov, he's very fast, and plays with intensity, and goes to the net. I also believe he scores 15 - 20 goals a year, so this a big upgrade on our bottom six. Also Nino Neitereitter is a good add as well.
In all of this "no" valuable draft picks were given up by Chevy. We did well.

Jets 7 points up on the Flames games all even, up 6 points on the Predators and Nashville has 3 games in hand. Big win tonight for the Jets. Next up San Jose. Calgary goes to Dallas, and Nashville goes to Vancouver.

I wasn't to sure what Namestnikov was going to bring to the team on his first game but he knows what to away from the puck, skates in a straight line to where he wants to go and seems like a good reliable player. Upgrade to the bottom 6 which makes the team better when PLD and Perfetti come back.
Good analysis.
He certainly seemed to play within the system right from the puck drop and seemed always to be in the right place at the right time -- which in this team at this point in the season about as good as it gets for a small TDL add.
I would call his play "efficient." And that's not faint praise.
Agreed and i think he might even be able to move up into the top 6 if needed and it wouldn't hurt us.

32 Thoughts: Wrapping up the NHL trade deadline
In this weeks notes, Elliotte Friedman writes on Ottawa's big move for Jakob Chychrun, Edmonton's move for Mattias Ekholm and much more.
22. Vladislav Namestnikov waived his no-trade to go to the Jets. I think he had other options, but was content to go there.

You are spot on. What I wonder is what if he’s a potential all-purpose Swiss-Army knife that we could really use on lines 3 and 4, but when needed, there for us in a top-line role when asked. He seems like he has the energy to click. Maybe his past teams’ usage of him got him in a mindset to just stay on lines that didn’t exploit his energy and skill-sets. Those were my eye-tests on him over the years.
Now he’s been tested with a whole smorgasbord of other players.
Perhaps he’s just a frog that hasn’t been kissed. (Noted: interview with “Our lady of the Special Hands”)
What do folks think about extending Names? At what price /term?

I don't know if he'd want to extend here, but I wouldn't mind having him here for a few seasons

I'd sign him for a couple of yrs at $2.5M -
He can move up and down the lineup and appears to make his linemates better -
He also strikes me as the type that would like this market - under the radar - but that's just my thoughts.
I'd wager at this point in his career he probably would like a stable home. I could see him easily signing a 3 by 3 type of deal. It seems the fit on the ice is quite good as well, which probably will also factor in at his age.

Yeah, I was being cheap - I'd be good for anything around 2.5 to 3.5 x 3

I'll up my opinion to Russian MattyP...!!
I think he'll be open to offers. He waived his NTC to come here.

A pint of dark matter, please.
I like the Matty P comparison highlighted by @WolfHouse. A versatile guy who can move through the line up.
Add to this TBL total in 2023 his 9 points so far with the Jets. This guy seems to do quite well with the right team mates. In a good year he can throw down 30 - 40 points - and he seems to fit in well so far.
Nice pickup, lets keep this guy.

Appears as though he is well liked and other players appreciate his intelligence and how he processes the game. He plays the kind of game where even on an 'off' night he is still smart defensively first, which doesnt leave a gapping black hole down the middle. Quite complementary to a playmaker like Wheeler and high-event player like Ehlers.
I would expect Chevy has succession planning for numerous spots and roles on the team and I don't think Names topples that applecart. I would suspect you price him in at a low end third line rate for a two year term. Organizationally that may work because after his ELC he does: 2yrs @ 3.8m (Stevie Y), 2yrs @ 4m (Jeff Gorton), and 2yrs @ 2m (Stevie Y). He has a lot of talent but the rubber has never really hit the road for full on payload. It isn't a knock on him, juts happens to be his trend
From his perspective I would guess there are a number of factors but chief among them would be stability. So maybe a push for a 3 or 4 year term so maybe something like 3 yrs @ 2.2m, akin to Appleton. His agent would highlight versatility in the line up and that coaches (Bowness) and GM's (Stevie Y) favour what he brings so maybe that increases the term a bit with a slight raise?
So maybe 3 yrs @ 2.2m may work for both sides. That said, we have no idea what Chevy's succession plan entails and where/if Names fits there.

Maybe a comparison to Matty P in versatility but not in style. Style wise I’d say he is closer to Statsny. Extremely well positioned and very smart. For those that wanted to listen when we picked him up those that knew his play said you could play him with anyone because of how well he can adapt to any system or role in that system.
