    You would think that with the other Russians in Rochester, that it would appeal to him coming to NA.  Maybe he just feels more comfortable at home like the German from 10 years back who came over for one AHL season and went back…never to be heard from again.  

    I don't know the exact terms of the new khl contract, but it would likely be a huge paycut to play in the ahl.  I said this in the other poltapov thread... hes not going to come over unless he's playing in the nhl

     

    Edit:  paycut, not payout lol.  Autocorrected

    I am all for the argument of where he belongs in the lineup - he is a 3rd line player - and that is ok. the 7 million dollar contract is what skews this. the team needed and still needs to find a 1 or 2 line Center. as the team stands now - we have one first/second tweener line, 2 third lines and 1 fourth line. 

    Cirelli, someone who seems like the prototypical 3c, just got a contract that is paying 6.25m aav over a pretty long period.  Maybe 7 isn't so bad for a 3c with 2c upside.  Or maybe I'm just trying to justify what was an awful contract to begin with.

    All of that is assuming that he is even a center....and not a wing.

    Ps:  In my head, I've been calling this problem the cozenundrum because of this thread

  3. Pretty crazy how fast this appears to be going off the rails.  Lose again on Saturday and we might see near empty arenas really early in the season.  Hopefully Lindy can right the ship...

     

    edit:  I will say that there is solace to be taken in at least playing better than they did in prague.  it's at least a step in the right direction.  hopefully they are still in the race when/if they actually figure it out under lindy.

    Wasn’t gonna post during game but here’s 1:

    It’s one game 

    not meant to belittle any reaction. They are justified and deserved. The team may suck this year and have for far too long

    but you can’t clean much from 1 game. You just can’t. We walloped NJ in game two with Marcus Johansson as our 2C and everything seemed great, a few season ago

    It’s too soon to say on THIS year 

    How dare you take an unemotional and balanced look at this team right now.  Let the rage flow
