Was pretty surprised he wasn't picked last season.

Talking about more personal matters, Arzamastsev revealed he often talks with Telegin. "I talked a lot with him during the WJC. I think next year he'll try to get a spot on the Winnipeg Jets' roster. You know, him and I played on the same unit since the childhood."

Jets should draft Pearson in the 2nd and Arzamastsev in the 6th.

Scheifele, Pearson, Telegin, Arzamastsev. All-friend team.

He was better than a lot of people drafted last year, if he said he'd like to get drafted by an NHL team last year he might have. Russian factor seems to be harming guys who want to come over.

I think Arzamastsev goes in the top 120.

If he really wants to come over, why doesn't he simply come over?
