Makarov Signs

[Captain Iago]

Yes, a name some of you will remember from a bit ago, Igor Makarov signed a 2-year ELC.

This is probably the best time for him to earn a spot on this team come training camp.

 

[tbo41fan]

hmmm interesting.

I wonder what he could bring to the table

 

[Got teeth? Keith doesn't.]

Not much probably, don't see him as much of a contributor to the team.

 

[DMelt36]

The guy from MW2?

[Capt. Serious]

About damn time.

 

[DMelt36]

Hahahaha I'm just glad you guys got the reference and I wasn't greeted with facepalms.

We need cheap 3rd and 4th line forwards who are responsible defensively. Igor fits this role. I think you may be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Capt. Serious]

We better be considering we've waited 4 years for his ass to come to North America!

Well who is the one who missed out? Him. His loss but this is his opportunity with about 3-4 wide open spots.

 

[Capt. Serious]

I meant to play.

Talent Analysis:

A good skater with a strong foot speed and acceleration...possesses an effortless stride and an above-average agility...above average balance for a smallish player...deceptive puck handling skills...can fight and maneuver his way out of tight spaces regularly...able to succeed in one-on-one situations...knows how to get into position for a scoring opportunity...possesses a fast-released wrist shot...needs to work on the hardness of the slap shot...plays with lots of energy and is effective on the back check...a tight forecheker...average defensive awareness...blocks the opposing passing lanes and spots his man quickly...can throw a decent hit even on a bigger player, but clearly lacks size and physical power...a good asset on both the powerplay and the penalty kill units...isn't a tough hitter, but doesn't play with fear...needs to work on his discipline, as he tends to lose his temper at times...a late 1987 born forward.

Sounds good to me.

 

[tbo41fan]

wouldnt be surprised to see him on the team

 

[stormbolter73]

I never thought we'd see him in North America. Great if he plays here, I'll still believe it when I see him on the ice for a reagular season game. His stats in the KHL weren't great but he was playing 4th line minutes for Dynamo so that's to be expected and if I remember correctly, Dynamo was pretty loaded, keeping him relegated to a lower line.
