DeltaSwede Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Never really got a chance here, doubt he ever was going to get one anyways. Good luck Sergei! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMBUTANS Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Shoulda traded him when there was a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEON.KNEE Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 WOW another squandered asset by the Canucks. Shirokov should have stuck with the big club a couple of times this season, especially when MayRay had an epic 2 month drought.... Isn't that why we have prospects? I don't know enough about who's running the show to put the blame on AV or MG... but at some level, someone is making stupid decisions with this team. (Why the frack didn't Schneider play game 6 in Boston, why wasn't Ballard used at all during the season, so when we needed him he wasnt a part of the team) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiredatwork Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 We're trying to model the Detroit system where you let a guy develop in the minors. The only part we miss is that you slowly work the guy in and give him a chance. Our GM seems to have forgotten that part. More young talent leaving our organization that was never given a chance. sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ice orca Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 hardly any russian kids in the draft, most teams staying away from signing russians. they cant get what want in the NHL they just bolt to the KHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil HD Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I cannot put the amount of displeasure I feel into words, so I will use two videos and an image instead. Anyways, good luck in the future, Sergei. You`ll be missed here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BureisBest Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Unfortunately Sergei does not have what it takes to crack our roster and he is not going to sit in the minors for another season, and uproot to Chicago now. He will go back to Russia and make good money to play with his countrymen now that he has failed to make NHL. The Russian factor comes into play for sure, it's not our management squandering him away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiebskey Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 wont hurt us this year I dont think, but down the road I was hoping he would be given more of a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharnhayre Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Another reason why you dont see too many Russians get drafted anymore. The option of staying in the KHL for more money (tax free) is more attractive. Wish we wouldve dealt Shirokov for something at least... he never fully got a chance here.
