I wouldn't touch a Russian in the draft with a 10 foot pole until the 3rd or 4th round. If we had a late 1st rounder, I'd take a flyer on Michkov. That's about it. And yes. I know how talented he is.
It's going to be a lot more in depth scouting with Russians for sure. I bet a lot of them are going to gladly jump to West and NA as soon as it's possible for them. How many Russians returned to KHL after last season? None of those who are good players in the NHL. But no doubt some of them want to stay, and if that's the case then they can f***ing stay there forever as far as I care.
 
We are becoming dangerously close to being in big trouble standings-wise.

Hockey isnt baseball. You get behind early and you're stuck there all season
Getting out of holes requires other teams to collapse, not a good bet to make. They need a good .645 clip the rest of the way.

Why? The NHL isn't going to ban them from playing. Russian players will still come to North America.

You do realize that RUSSIA can ban their players from leaving and already literally have done so, correct? You can't possibly not get this.

Ivan Fedotov has literally been disappeared. He was arrested in July, sent to a military base, and no one has heard from him since. His agent finally confirmed he was at a base.

Certain Russian guys are not going home. I don't believe Shesterkin went home over the summer.
 
Also loved the celebration with Kakko and Kreider. Kakko hasn't really been embraced in the previous years. Getting more comfortable with the guys personally I guess.
