That's perfect to partner with Hughes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you're saying about home, it counts a lot. However if he gets injured at home or in NA the result can be substantially different. Hockey is a short limited life, often cut short with injuries. The ruble is in the dumper and unlikely to improve in the near future. A business move would be return to the NHL ASAP and get his 400 games ( required for his pension ) in as soon as ;ossible. Further if he stay and develops secondary skill/speed it ill come back and bite him IMHO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 If he gets hurt in the KHL this year it could cost him quite a bit if he loses this year and part of next. He's making sub one million there and worth a lot more here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks could give him a signing bonus to cover the buyout cost. Sure miss watching him play. I think Benning said something about having to start the KHL buyout process a year before the actual buyout. So that ship has sailed, but I believe the plan is he could come as early as late-February if his team misses the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not really costing him financially to play for his hometown team, at least in the short term. Long term of course is different. Several years from now I could see him earning in the NHL a salary that would eat up half of a Russian team's salary cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a show me contract @ 2-3 million for two or three years and a good pay raise if/when he proves himself during regular season and playoffs. anywhere from 4-6 per if he plays like he did before he left.

I suspect a good accountant can find ways to whittle down his Canadian taxes. I suspect the team has housing for some of the younger guys as well. There are probably other perks as well. Find it hard to believe the taxes in Russia are only 13% for a citizen making millions. Hopefully someone can verify this? Source? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Man talk about a good problem We are running out of cap space because our players are good I think Benning needs to be careful here, as all GM's would have to be in his case With Boeser most likely in the 6.75 to 7.25 range, Pettersson's contract coming up (8 to 9 M range?), Hughes coming up (we will see), etc We have precious little cap to waste...….. Tryamkin's show me contract should be around Hutton's old contract (pro-rated), so what 3.5 to 4 M? This is where a good capoligist is needed. This is why guys like Sutter, Baertschi, Tanev, and Markstrom are expendable...……= 16 Million ish in current contracts and all due for a raises either next year or the year after...………..not only are they older in a young mans game, but we will not be able to afford them all, and will have to have room to add the Podkolzin's, Tryamkin's, Hoglander's. etc This is why as much as anything, we need to sign Tryamkin...…….he will be 26 going into next season, with no real replacement for Tanev other than him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sutter is good trade material. Veteran shut down guy, good for insurance shut down on the 3rd or 4th line, I think there are a few teams that could use help to get into the playoffs or post season. I think Baer and Goldy are the same type of player and we could trade one of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stierlitz Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Avto plays Severstal at home in the season opener on Sep 2. In an unrelated note, Datsyuk is listed in the LTIR list published today by the KHL. He had some successful surgery two weeks ago (no details provided, just mentioned that this was the same type of injury that bothered him back in the NHL). The optimistic expectation is that he would be in the lineup by October. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you Which IMHO it should be Baertschi is at all possible Goldy is younger and with no concussion history, and will be considerable cheaper for the next few years Which if you look at our roster it makes so much more sense to keep Goldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
