It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that Burmistrov is not part of the Winnipeg Jets “Future Plan”. He’s playing minimal minutes each game, and isn’t playing very well when he does get to play.
There were even reports that Kevin Chevaldayoff (Winnipeg Jets GM) was letting teams know that Burmistrov is available.
One of Burmistrov’s main problems is that he’s an “East-West Player” and not a “North-South Player”, meaning that instead of going up, and down the ice, he goes side to side, and tries to dangle.
Burmistrov, a former 1st round, 8th overall pick, hasn’t scored one goal in all of his twenty three games this season with the Jets.
