Les Jackson knows a thing or two about traveling to foreign lands, so the Stars assistant general manager makes a good point about what prospect Denis Gurianov is going through this year.
"Just imagine yourself in a different country trying to speak their language and learn their customs, and you realize what a challenge it is," Jackson said. "I've done it for a couple of weeks at a time, but imagine trying to get an apartment and a car and a license, it really opens your eyes to just what these guys are dealing with."
Gurianov is a young Russian player, which seems to increase the depth of the challenge.
