Not sure I'd want to be drafting any Russians right now.
And if I were Russian I'd probably spend my off season somewhere other than "home."

They probably have a draft / military commitment like many countries do.

I use to work with someone who was born in Russia. He said he could never go back to Russia because he never completed his military. The second he would land in Russia he thinks they would flag him and make him do his military.

An old friend had that happen to him in Italy.
He went back as a middle age man after leaving as a kid.
He didn't have to serve, but they were waiting for him.
On May 8, 2001, the Italian government passed a law (Art. 7 del D. Lgs. 8 maggio 2001 n. 215) making military service completely voluntary effective January 2007.

They can still do it while Matthews scores 60, Washington did it with Ovi scoring the same.
It’s vital we prepare now. Everyone is UFA in 3 years and this incarnation of the team has gone nowhere.
Also the teams in our division, Montreal,Buffalo and Detroit are on their 3-5 year rebuilds (drafting high/drafting often) so the balance could be shifting around the same point as above.

Leafs/Habs Opening night October 12.
I'm guessing the schedule should be released any time now.

Don't know if this was put out there, but Jim Paliafito was hired by the Islanders.
He will be doing the same thing he was doing here: Trying to lure European UFA's.

I think it'll be split. Too much expense for one network.

Wild GM Bill Guerin says Kirill Kaprizov is still in Russia and 'doing fine'
Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin said Kirill Kaprizov remains in Russia and is doing well, denying a report the star winger returned to the U.S. and adding the team is trying to find out more about the situation.
Seems like all is well for kirill

Oilers fans pretty orgasmic about landing Campbell. I thought all Leafs players sucked?
As a Leaf fan... Im fine with it. They got Hyman... I think he did well overall.. so they think they're getting the same free type of player.
I like Campbell... he's decent. Had some great stretches but if he gets a 6 from them ... then good for him but you're not getting 6 million in goaltending ever.
Definitely an upgrade on their goaltending but paying him that would be an overpay.
If I'm being fair... I don't know who the Leafs will land that is much better but if jack can't do around 4 then easy pass.
That was Hyman year 1... of what 6 or 7? If it gets to be year 4 it'll change quick... same with jack at 30 already and hasn't proved much.

Backcheck, Forecheck, Paycheque.
Campbell will backstop the Oilers to another Conference Finals sporting like a .935 in the playoffs while we lose in round 1 again. I don't make the rules, reality just consistently tells me former core players are destined to make it further than us in the playoffs.

Lots of speculation linking Chychrun to the 2nd pick and maybe Ottawa’s 7th. Senators seem less likely because of their LD, but anything is possible. Devils could use Chychrun.

Probably their best move, would be to keep all their picks, and take cap dumps from teams for more picks, to stay above the Cap floor...
