Kobayashi Maru Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Wow, Jake to Moscow. What could possibly go wrong? Guessing one of the biggest cities in the world isn't exactly what the doctor ordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 https://en.khl.ru/clubs/spartak/team/ He shouldn't have any problem being the best player on this team. Alone in Russian; no family or friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Interesting that it's a one year deal. I imagine NHL teams won't touch him til his legal bit is wrapped up, so he's waiting to see where that goes. If he's cleared, whether people believe him or not, I could see an NHL team taking a chance on him in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
