I will believe this when I see it announced as official.

His father has clearly stated he needs more time in Russia and to have carved out his career there before going to North America. I don’t think that means one year from now.

Would like to be wrong, though. Hoping to see an announcement at some point.

Does anyone know if it is teachable to make a hockey player play with his nose up instead of of looking down at the puck while skating?

You ought to develop a tie-down strap similar to a fight strap but designed to attach the back of the helmet to the back of the pants, preventing the head from looking down. Thousands to be made off of that idea, millions to be lost in lawsuits resulting from said product as well.

His father said that before last season.

There’s no way his KHL team would announce this if it wasn’t happening. They have no reason to.

Random question, anyone know if Kovalenko has dual-citizenship? Is that even allowed these days between Russia and US?

Of course, I guess my original question should have been "has Russia made him renounce his US citizenship?"
No... the mechanisms for renouncing practically make that impossible. Russia has been rumored to not 'recognizing' US citizen rights in Russia during their mobilization over the last year and a half, but substantiations of those claims is pretty difficult to come by. More or less, once he is on US soil, he's American.

Fir what it's worth, the T-14 Armata battle tank is Russia's newest/best tank 🤨
There are very few of them and their performance is questionable at best at this time. Still mostly a prototype, at least until we see it in combat.

So, newest, yes. Best, probably not.

They are currently deployed in Ukraine. Not seen any after action reports concerning the quality/lack of quality of T-14 Armata battle tank yet.

Allegedly deployed and they were apparently already withdrawn too if they were deployed. This indicates they are still testing it after how many years it has been, The deployed numbers are small in any case.
