Snapshots: Ovechkin, Schmiemann, Puljujarvi

June 25, 2022 at 5:30 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 15 Comments

In the past, there has been an expectation that Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin would finish up his career with Dynamo Moscow in Russia.  On Friday, the veteran did indeed sign a contract with them, just not the Dynamo Moscow you might be thinking of.  Instead, Dynamo’s soccer team announced the signing of the 36-year-old to a one-game contract, naming him the captain for the match as well.  That game was played on Saturday with Ovechkin actually scoring the game-winner against Amkal in a 5-0 victory.  Fittingly, given how many of his goals have been scored in the NHL, it came on a one-timer from the left side, the clip of which can be seen here.

More from around the hockey world:

  • The Canucks have added some defensive depth at the AHL level as their farm team in Abbotsford announced the signing of Quinn Schmiemann to a two-year deal. The 20-year-old was actually a sixth-round pick of Tampa Bay back in 2019 but wound up not signing and remained in the WHL this season where he picked up 14 goals and 40 assists in 58 games during the regular season while finishing third in scoring for the Blazers in the playoffs with 18 points in 17 contests.
  • Sportsnet’s Mark Spector posits that an arbitrator could award pending RFA winger Jesse Puljujarvi a contract in the $3.5MM to $4MM range this summer. That would certainly be a big blow to the Oilers who simply couldn’t afford to carry that type of contract on their books.  The 24-year-old has been more impactful since coming back to North America at the start of last season but despite some impressive underlying numbers, he still managed just 14 goals and 22 assists in 2021-22.  If that is indeed in the range of where Puljujarvi’s camp sees him landing in an arbitration hearing, it wouldn’t be surprising to see GM Ken Holland shopping him over the coming weeks.

    If there is anybody who is nowhere close to worthy of an inflated Q.O., it’s Puljujarvi. Even half of that might be deemed generous. Ken should not qualify him at that price point.

      You must have an insanely warped understanding of communism if you think there are people in the White House who espouse those views
