I don’t think Buchelnikov would be drafted into the war, but as things worsen for Putin, all bets are off. If nothing else it’s a reminder that anything that happens to this kid on the ice this season pales in comparison to what he and millions of others are dealing with off the ice.
 
Well if he's saying stuff like that, that's probably the easiest way to get drafted into the war. To be clear, you're not implying Buchelnikov has made comments like this?

No. I am referencing this person saying KHL players have been drafted into war. I doubt Buchelnivok would be a person that gets drafted, but he’s certainly eligible to be drafted.

While the rest of the Western world has long since moved into 21st-century modern warfare, Putin is still over here embracing a war of attrition and trying to replicate the Battle of Stalingrad. And now it's time to expand recruitment to backfill the first wave with a bunch of untrained bullet catchers.

Here ya go, comrade, some used boots, expired IRPs, and an AK47. Go get 'em!

Guessing the SKA and CSKA players wont be sent to the Kherson trenches.
 
SKA is basically run by a son of one of Putin's best pals - Roman Rotenberg. I highly doubt his players will drafted to war as long they are not signing NHL contracts I guess. But there is a different aspect to it, mobilisation means that people will have difficulties to leave the country. I don't know how long this madness will go on, but you shouldn't count on Buchelnikov joining Red Wings organisation next season.

Even if he avoids being drafted to the war. It Doesn’t mean he is going to be able to get over to North America.

Rumours are Russian males between the ages of 18-65 will be banned from leaving the country going forward.

Could happen very soon. Fingers crossed it never comes to fruition.

We can kiss all our 60+ year old prospects goodbye.
Seems inevitable. Russia's greatest military edge through history has been the sheer number of men they could march into battle.
Not surprised to see someone like Putin, who has so little value for human life, going to that well.

I wouldn't count on any Russian prospects coming to the NHL for a long time unless they are being snuck over in suitcases.
