Hope they bring a big suitcase (and poke some air holes in it)

They just hired this guy to come along. He’s got a lot of particular skills that can help

An interesting situation has arisen in the KHL. Michal Kryštof left the team before the end of his contract, with the IIHF approving the move because the KHL is no longer under the auspices of the ФХР and thus the IIHF too, also there is no agreement with other leagues. I wonder if you'll try to replicate a similar move with Demidov transiting through a European team. 
What’s the strongest language I’m allowed to use here to describe this deuschebag?

I don't get why the Habs front office would want to do business in such a public manner. That isn't their modus operandi.
SKA is second in their division, one point back, they have the third or fourth best record in the KHL last I saw and the second best offense in the league. Also one of the best goal differentials.
They are actually a top 3 KHL team at the moment.
Edit: the issue they have is kuznetsov has asked to play with demidov. Thus why when kuz is out demidov doesn’t play. SKA is a tough veteran top khl team if it wasn’t for kuz, demidov would be in the junior leagues, they can’t loan him out in the last year of his contract.
He doesn't play even when Kuznetsov is in the lineup.
Presumably they want to meet with Demidov and go over his options.

Rotenberg can say whatever he wants in the media, but it seems pretty clear cut based on Demidov's on-ice results, versus his playing time, that he's being made an example of.
Whether he's being punished because he refuses to resign or he's going to the NHL at the end of the year, Rotenberg's actions go directly against what he is saying about Demidov's development being the most important, which seems like straight-up lip service.
I would guess that these decisions aren't solely Rotenberg's to make, though. He's simply the puppet who has to carry out the orders.

I love the development of Rotenberg being Rotenberg and all the people who chose to character assassinate a certain young man for the same reasons looking like absolute fools.

Kent Hughes going over personally is interesting..
I originally thought it would just be Bobrov. To be honest I'd be a little nervous if I was Mrs. Hughes. I know Russia isn't some death trap, but we're essentially at war with them currently and it just seems odd that we have citizens flying over for business.

The play at 1:24 pretty much sums up the Demidov situation right now.
Why give the kid and the team an opportunity when you can just rip a clapper at his ass?

Management will want to see players live too so this "they can just watch him from anywhere" doesn't make sense
