Well these free agents, whether Russian or College always sign with the same teams and it's almost always much to do about nothing.
He ain't no Panarin that's for sure.
Rumor: Habs interested in Maxim Tsyplakov (upd: signed with the Islanders)

Islanders right? Yup, they can use the depth. Makes sense.
Our long national nightmare is over. Thank goodness the Islanders blocked us from eating this thermonuclear bomb of a depth signing.

"Our last KHL UDFA signing failed so our next one will fail as well."
If it was a 3-year ELC, it would be different, but at 1 year I really don't see the huge downside of trying it out. Getting cheap help like that is what good teams do.

10 pages about a guy who like a lot of his compatriots, mostly only care about playing in destination markets like NY.
I hope this is not a precursor to what bigger name free agents might do.
Hughes has worked very hard to create a welcoming environment in Montreal, it should pay off down the line.

He signed with a team going nowhere. He is apparently not interested in winning. Don't need him.

NY baby! Now he can brag to all his broskies. As soon as he starts sliding, Patrick will chew him up and spit him out.
Their core is still in their prime. It's not like he signed with Utah, Anaheim or Chicago.
No, they said Toronto and Montreal were the two Canadian teams interested.
There were around a dozen teams talking to him.

I used to keep track of the Euro free agent signings each year, stopped because there have been far fewer in recent years. The majority end up back in Europe in a season or two.
There are exceptions: mainly of late... Artemi Panarin, Mats Zuccarello, Andrei Kuzmenko, Ilya Mikheyev, Pius Suter, Arturs Zub, Jan Ruutta, David Kampf, Ilya Lybushkin, Alex Georgiev, Sergei Bobrovsky.
The Habs haven't had much luck here. Radu was different because he had a lot of experience in North America. Might have been nice to add Tsyplakov but the odds are against him.

I knew I couldn't trust a MFer with a name like that.

We deep in bad ones. Our third line is basically Dvorak, Anderson, Gallagher. Overpaid garbage
