Toews Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 29 year old KHL player who finished the WHC with 18 points in 10 games winning the scoring race. He was well over point per game in the KHL and also point per game in the playoffs. Not surprising that everyone wants his signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 So basically, Edmonton will sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AriGold Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Washington, Chicago, Pittsburgh.. Book it... Ovie vs Panarin vs Malkin Who does Vadim like more ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glory_Days Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Thing to note about Vadim Slippyfist (spl?) is that due to his age, he's not limited to term or salary like Panarin, Zaitsev, Tryamkin and others have been. Does he sign with a top team where he has some connections maybe like Washington, Chicago, or does he go to a basement dweller that just throws a crap load of cash at him, Phoenix, NJ, Arizona? Him and Panarin have some real good chemistry together, if Chicago thinks they have the inside edge on him I wonder if they try to ship Anisimov out, use his salary to sign Slippyfist and insert him as their #2 center between Panarin and Kane. Edit: Yes, I realized I used the Coyotes twice...but they're just such a crappy team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swedish elite3 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Maybe our Russian legend can praise vancouver to him for us... everyone has to listen to Bure right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glory_Days Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Maybe he'll sign in Flordia, Tampa or one of the California teams, god knows he must be sick of those Russian winters haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This actually makes a lot of sense. I don't see anyone giving him too big a contract. Sign a one year deal with Chicago. Put up a ton of points with Kane and Panarin then sign a big contract next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think before then there was little interest in coming to NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make it to the playoffs for another 3 years guaranteed. Chicago is overrated because of the names there. Id want more of an opportunity. Play with a bad team or a team what has a hole missing in it and can be a playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustABandwagoner Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Should go to Chicago and play with Kane and Panarin If hes the real deal All 3 of them next year shall get over 100 pts LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
