Junkyard Dog Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 How very unfortunate. Juolevi, Brisebois, McEneny, Pedan. A spot will open up for one of these guys next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustABandwagoner Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Benning forgot the "Russian factor" when we drafted him LOL. At least he wasnt a 1st round pick. Man imagine Goldy does the same in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwags Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Of all the things to happen this season, this is the most Canuck-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaleroad Train Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Ouch, this hurts. We go through all the pain of tanking for a good prospect, only to lose one for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LM11 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 He isn't the first Russian to pull this stunt. I'm very disappointed in him. His excuse doesn't make me feel sympathy for him. He was a rookie who expected to suddenly be a heavy minutes guy and that's not how the NHL works. This stuff sours me to Russian players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really glad I did not renew my full season tickets, because this just basically put a nail in the coffin for this team next year. Not really, it only reinforces the idea that Russians aren't truly interested in playing here unless they're given everything they want. But glad you get to pimp your thread, bro.

soshified Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Wow. Definitely not a fan anymore. After his first real season in the NHL. Given good, top minutes for a rookie. Loved by the fans. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Welp, time to draft Eemeli Rasanen as his replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanuck94 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I'm stumped reading the part where he was thinking of leaving when he sat for ten straight games but couldn't due to contract and not enjoying his lack of ice time.. Willie is #notmycoach but I do believe in not feeling entitled, but due to the situation and the caliber of a player present, do you just give him what he wants or just end up in a situation like this?

You might set a bad example. What if other youngsters begin to feel more entitled. That would present a very bad situation. Still though lost potential but we all knew the Russian factor.

nuckin_futz Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Well this certainly sucks big time. 22 year olds shouldn't be bitching about ice time. The last 22 year old we had who bitched about his ice time was Cody Hodgson. He bounced out of the league. As sad as I am to lose him and his potential. You cannot have guys with his "me first" attitude in your locker room. They are a cancer. I guess now we can stop with all the Tanev trade threads.
