What I can't wrap my head around is what is the point of it? Over the previous 2 years SKA lead the KHL in wins by a good amount (80), this year they are in a 4 way tie for 8th OA in wins. Demidov not even being used on the PP when he clearly can help this team is just insane, why would you do that and risk losing more games.

I guess I don't get what message they are trying to send to the rest of prospects in their system while at the same time to their fans. We aren't winning as much but at least Demidov is pissed he's not getting ice time, we sure are showing him!
Rotenberg has no logic, I highly doubt he's able to send any message at all.

Because of it i really doubt it's all about resigning. What is the point if Michkov was signed for a multi-year deal, but walked out of it with no problem?
These things happening in SKA not only with high end NHL prospects.

I guess the message for all of the prospects out there is not to sign with SKA, while Rottenburger is around

Pity Demidov plays under Rotenberg, could be interesting to compare his season to Michkov's. When he was given enough trust and time he looked on par with Matvei, it didn't last long though. He should have moved to Sochi before the season started...
