Know next to nothing about this guy and never watched Gleb play. However, the signing as a few insinuations.
1) We're a little closer to getting an AHL affiliate. Why else would Morrow sign and Blake consider?
2) Gleb was probably not getting the playing time he wanted in Russia. He only played 3 KHL games and probably played less in the VHL than he wanted.
Assuming we get an AHL affiliate next year, one would hope Trikozov would get a steady diet of opportunity. I don't see him as a guy to crack the lineup for at least 3 years, personally.
