Lui's Knob Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 the UFA pool is as thin as ever and more players will get ridiculous clarkson contracts... Reports suggested earlier in the year that with the downed ruble former NHL players may want to return from the KHL. Anyone follow that league and who we could sign/target?

AriGold Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Typically speaking the KHL players are either drafted NHL players who choose to play there or players who will never leave their country. Some would rather play in Modo then the NHL. Rather spend more time in the euro leagues then the KHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl's Jn Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 hopefully we haven't had a russian player since larionov ... or at least no one in the last couple of years... russians are good so is finland.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Have to agree with Ari Gold. Usually undrafted prospects stay in their hometown to play top 6 minutes in the KHL instead of leaving home to play bottom-6 minutes in a foreign country. Lower tier leagues usually produce export players, take Ronnie Kenins for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro league then too; team is desperate for top end talent and youth (more Bo, less Higgins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lui's Knob Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Tryamkin Could he theoretically arrive to play for the team next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl's Jn Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Tryamkin forgot about him... do you think he can play next year with the canucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Artem Panarin, a 5'11 180 pound 23 year old FW who put up 62 points in 54 games declined re-signing in russia, will be playing in NHL for under 1 million. Of course, he'll have plenty of suitors. We need all the speed and youth we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
