He played 266 games with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/blues\/\" target=\"_self\">St. Louis Blues<\/a> and the remainder with the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/capitals\/\" target=\"_self\">Washington Capitals<\/a>. He is a physical player who stands 6&#8242;-2&#8243;, 215 pounds and has handed out 706 hits while in the NHL. Ja\u0161kin also is an excellent possession player with a career Corisi For of 54.7 and a Relative Corsi of 4.6. He has recorded 103 takeaways as opposed to just 50 giveaways. It seems he fits right into general manager <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/a\/armstbi01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bill Armstrong<\/a>&#8216;s rebuild for the Desert Dogs. Physical players who won&#8217;t get pushed around and can stick up for the smaller teammates.<\/p>\n<p>As indicated in Strickland&#8217;s tweet, Ja\u0161kin has done very well in the KHL the last two seasons. He has totaled 177 games with 69 goals and 54 assists gathering 123 points. That kind of potential offence is just what the Coyotes need as they have not been the most potent offensive team in the league. There is an influx of Russian players heading to the NHL like the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/wild\/\" target=\"_self\">Minnesota Wild<\/a>&#8216;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kapriki01.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kirill Kaprizov<\/a> who was the the team&#8217;s leading scorer with 27 goals and 24 assists in 55 games. With any luck Ja\u0161kin could possibly be the Coyotes version of Kaprizov.<\/p>\n<h3>Going Forward is This a Good Signing?<\/h3>\n<p>The Coyotes need offence and size and with Ja\u0161kin they get both. If he can get his NHL skills going again and produce, then this is another brilliant move by Armstrong.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/azcoyotesinsider.substack.com\/p\/neutral-zone-gostisbehere-joins-coyotes\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arizona Coyotes insider, Craig Morgan<\/a> (subscription required) had this to add on the Ja\u0161kin signing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In two seasons with Dynamo Moscow,\u00a0 had more goals than any KHL player, totaling 69 in 117 games. He led the KHL with 38 goals in 59 games last season.
