Speculation: Will Burmistrov return to the Jets??

[GJF]

Perhaps the closest anyone from the Jets has gotten to Burmi in a year....

Awesome video dude

No THEY DON'T. Nobody I mean NOBODY measures height with skates on. Ever. At all.

A random listing on a team page might be 1-3 inches on the high side, but it has nothing at all to do with skates. It's just added to make the player look good.

I should start doing it. I would probably reach those 6'2'' the school nurse told me I would reach when I was in 5th grade.

What other reason could he do it for?

Immaturity?

Caught Hnidy briefly mentioning Burmistrov's situation during the game , also saw that the Latvian coach listed Kulda as their best player.

Is Burmi back yet?

Is Burmi back yet?

Check Hnidy's carry on .

 

[knorthern knight]

But anyway - back to the topic. I too hope Maurice or other Jets management was able to talk to Burmi.

Wouldn't that be "tampering" under the KHL/NHL MOU to respect each other's contracts?

 

[koth]

Is Burmi back yet?

Hey, that's my line.

 

[truck]

Hey, that's my line.

Do you want it back?

 

[garret9]

I'll let you guys know when I'm coming back.

Right now I'm too bizzy zlayin bizn****es with my gold medal.

 

[koth]

Do you want it back?

Yes. Yes, I do.

 

[truck]

Yes. Yes, I do.

Here you go.

Heaven knows you have enough energy considering your lack of ice time in the tournament

Heaven knows you have enough energy considering your lack of ice time in the tournament

But the Russian coach didn't know anything according to Burmi...

 

[garret9]

Averaged 5mins per game more than Scheifele....

 

[SCP Guy]

Averaged 5mins per game more than Scheifele....

Did he do more with all that time on the ice?

 

[YWGinYYZ]

Averaged 5mins per game more than Scheifele....

Scheifele: 4 P/60, 12 SoG/60
Burmi: 0.5 P/60, 3.5 SoG/60

(ish - rounded the numbers because I'm lazy)

I'm still in the Burmi camp - just messin' with ya garret.

Ha 4 points per 60... That's a SD better than Crosby!!!

I know. My point was just not much you can make of TOI in a tourney like that other than coaches choices from small samples.

 

[SCP Guy]

Yeah wish he would have been able to play a bigger role for team USSR

 

[Whileee]

Maybe Burmi will go into a fit of petulance about a lack of respect from the Russian coaches and beat a path back to Winnipeg.... we can hope.

 

[koth]

Here you go.

Thank you.


Ahem.


Is Burmi back yet?

Alex Burmistrov didn’t realize his goal of suiting up for Russia at the Olympics in Sochi, but he was part of the team that captured a gold medal at the world championship on Sunday.

Burmistrov, the eighth overall selection of the Atlanta Thrashers in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, had one goal in 10 games for Russia while recording only seven shots on goal.

After signing with his hometown Ak-Bars Kazan Snow Leopards last summer, Burmistrov got off to a hot start in the Kontninental Hockey League and finished with 10 goals and 37 points in 54 games before adding two assists in six playoff games.

There’s been plenty of speculation about whether Burmistrov (who turns 23 in October) could leave the KHL to return to the NHL next season, but a source (not Maurice) said the Snow Leopards have offered a lucrative raise that is beyond what the Jets would likely be offering.

An e-mail to Yuri Nikolaev, the Russian agent for Burmistrov, seeking comment was not returned.

So much for the "Burmistrov is coming back" BS.

Oops.

All that said is he was offered a raise.
If he was coming back he was pocketing less cash no matter what.

Hey , I want him back , and I have been a critic of his , it is noteworthy to see most if not all now envision him as an "ok" piece for third line minutes.

Production or lack thereof , creating chances , the "offensive potential " ... no one is banking on that , which is prudent . Saying that he is a good fit off the top two lines , or could be , but if he thinks he is owed big dollars for that he will be in the KHL for a long time , maybe for ever.

 

[truck]

The fact that he is under contract and they still feel the need to offer him a raise is interesting to me.

 

[garret9]

Looks like Burmi is trying to get more money, regardless of which side he falls.
Good for him.
