Urheilucast: Jokers get a new foreign reinforcement – “No foot, no movement”
Helsinki Jokerit is strengthening its offense with a new Canadian player. According to Urheilucast host Esko Seppänen, the team is acquiring 27-year-old Ryan McGregor.
According to Seppänen, Jokerit has made a contract with McGregor for the remainder of the season, which will likely be announced on Monday. The forward is expected to be in action already on Wednesday in the Stadin derby.
However, the assessments regarding the potential reinforcement for Jokerit are not exactly flattering.
– I received a report from Europe that this guy has no footwork, no movement. He lacks speed skills. He has sufficient game understanding and is known as a great guy in the locker room. It has been specifically mentioned that he brings energy, commitment, and dedication to daily work. He was not particularly expensive either.
McGregor is a 183-centimeter tall forward who can play both center and wing.
The Canadian spent the last five seasons in North America with AHL team Tucson Roadrunners. Last season, he recorded 11 points in 35 games with 2 goals and 9 assists.
This season, McGregor moved to the Czech top league to join Kladno, where he has not produced any results. Six games have yielded a total of zero points.
