In the KHL? I thought he still had an NHL contract or did his ELC run out his last year with them? It was more just the thought of being able to bring in another top 6er on the cheap, we have quite a few people that he'd be friendly with I do believe.
And who? Only Tikhonov I can find is a prospect for Pheonix.
Responding here not to go off-topic.
Radulov's ELC ran out when he came over for the postseason.
Tikhonov is indeed a Coyotes property, but when his contract in the KHL expires next spring he will be 27-years-old, meaning he's old enough to be an unrestricted free agent like Leo Komarov this summer.
Ahh, I thought he was a Preds prospect that Trotz had been sweet on. Do you think he gets any offers? From a quick once over of his profile, it seems he misses a lot of games but puts up goals in the games he's in. Like a super Semin light but without the potential defensive ability?
do you suppose that trotz is going to have greater input into player personel than in the past?
Watching the interview with him and Mac yesterday it seemed as though they had a very good relationship. Mac is a first time gm and Trotz a 15 year coach I think they will work together very well. The three main changes we will see will probably be adding a stud center and a stud defenseman. Trotz likes defense and centers that can act as a third defenseman in the zone. I think Mac will supply him with those. Look for Holtby to have a huge year too

Please?Gotta think, given Trotz's increased affinity for puck possession and his distaste for giveaways, that there's a good chance Marcus Johansson doesn't make it to training camp.
Possible but unlikely unless Grabovski moves on or they manage to trade Laich or something.So with the confirmation of Trotz as HC, does David Legwand become a possible FA target.
Third line: Chimera - Legwand - Ward

What's a realistic lineup for next season?
Ovechkin (at LW!!!!) - Backstrom - Fehr(???)
Laich - Kuznetsov - Brouwer
Chimera-Latta-Ward
Beagle-Brown-Wilson
Alzner-Green
Orlov-Carlson
Schmidt-???
Let me salmon and say there is no way they move MJ - our only homegrown candidate that can play C. Dealt because stats fail to spell out that the previous regimes foolishly sent him out to battle on the boards. If a player is not used to his strengths, does he suck? Of course not.
If we ink Grabo long term, maybe MJ is dealt.
Kuz may be moved to center, but I doubt it.
Otherwise, we are talking Laich and Fehr as our 2Cs. MP, gone. The Hershey hen house aka da pipe has no Cs to me.
Can't get enough of dem drop passes?
