I’m really not though because you have no idea what you’re talking about
I can say the same about you then
Since you can't even explain what it is

IMO it's good he gets scratched, I don't want to risk him getting hurt before he escapes that mess. Nothing left to prove at that level.Nothing will happen guys calm down. He will be healthy scratch for the end of the season and post season so what? We already saw that he will be a game breaker, more time for him to train and he will signe June 1st and be on the top 6 next year. Enough with the evil Russia, they won't do something to their best player in the country come on. Heard so much bad stuff it's incredible. His coach is st*pid as* yeah sure we all knew that, can we wait 2 months ? Yes. Will it impact his confidence and hurt his game ? Absolutely not
If they’re bound for the playoffs it could be that Rotenberg just doesn’t see the point of giving him minutes. He’s also a fitness freak and thinks players burn out and he’s repeated this many times — Demidov being a youngster, it might be equal part roster management and hyper-conservatism. I don’t give RR any credit here, I’m just thinking out loud.Gotta talk about something since Demidov isn't playing anymore...
Imagine if we make the playoffs and sit Hutson.Rotenberg believes the playoffs are a very physical time for KHL players. He is just protecting Demidov's health for the Habs?

It's hilarious.
It's hilarious - like, if he plays Demidov and he gets injured, what's the impact for SKA vs being healthy scratched?Rotenberg believes the playoffs are a very physical time for KHL players. He is just protecting Demidov's health for the Habs?
Who knows... With that type of person, riding nepotism to a position of authority far beyond his competency level, it could be any number of petty egotistical drivers at play...Rotenberg believes the playoffs are a very physical time for KHL players.

How do kids get contracted to KHL teams in the first place? Because if the kids have any choice in the matter this could drive away talent who would otherwise sign with them.Who knows...

Quite probably, he thinks he's sending a message to future NHL draft picks/talented prospects that SKA controls... "If even one of the best ever KHL 20 year old can get this treatment from us, imagine what we'll do to you if you don't bend to our wishes"...
Not sure... But given SKA's budget, political connections and Russian hockey prestige, I suspect they view themselves as immune to that kind of push back (probably rightfully so... It's not at all uncommon in pro sports in eastern Europe for teams to absolutely screw over even top athletes and simply offer enough $$ for the next batch to ignore what happened to the last ones).How do kids get contracted to KHL teams in the first place?

Pretty sure Demidov will play in the playoffs
He's a big part of the teams success, and ska will not hurt their chances at a cup just to punish Demidov for not signing.
