[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Bring out the brooms

Go Moskow!

 

[KevSkillz4]

Thanks god, the season of KHL is over.

 

[Runner77]

If CKA is eliminated after the 1st round, what’s to say they wouldn’t assign Demidov to its MHL team? Don’t know if their rules allow it and when MHL playoffs might end at the latest.

 

[Rob Sense]

I just hope he gets here before the trade board lets him go to another team for a 38 year old center because we are going all in to the finals next year!

 

[DAChampion]

Dismissing Crosby as a 38 year old center is ignorant. He's very fit and still has better production than Suzuki in spite of playing with garbage. He's likely to be effective for another three or four years, like Jagr and Chelios.

Washed up Crosby has 8 points in his last 5 games.

Trading a 19 year old who projects as the best player we’ve drafted in 3 decades for 2 maybe 3 years of Crosby is insane

I didn't see anybody seriously suggest Demidov for Crosby.

Maybe the president gets tired of the rotten shit show and cans him. Decides there's just no point holding on to Demidov.

Unlikely. RR’s family is embedded with the people who run/own the team.

Everybody has their tipping point.

You still don't trade Demidov for Crosby at this point.

Non sequitur.

It's a rumor that they will. Which Demidov should flat out refuse to do. It'd be like the Sharks sending Celebrini to the WHL to help a junior team win the Memorial Cup.

I would suggest that calling a Demidov for Crosby trade insanity is being charitable.

That requires the MHL team to still be in the playoffs.

Why shouldn't they? SKA developed Demidov.

The Habs would do the same if they had a CHL team and their best u20 players were eligible and available. It's not like a handful of games in junior is gonna ruin Demidov's development.

Can't refuse.

To who?

Can't refuse.

He could always claim he has bone spurs. It’s worked for others.

No, the Habs have not been sending players down to CHL or AHL after elimination.

Why shouldn't they? You don't put a top player in the entire league, and your best point getter, down two levels just because.

The Habs would not do the same. The Habs would not send Lane Hutson to Laval at the end of this season and that's less of a drop than the KHL to the MHL.

Can't refuse.

Yes he can. Ryabkin did it.

I legitimately think the post you're responding to is one of the least accurate I've read this year. The qualifiers I have for it would get me warned.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

To who?

Whomever is advocating this transaction.

It's not 'just because'.
Stop thinking in North American terms. Under the Russian hierarchical development system, the Habs would undoubtedly send Hutson to the QMJHL playoffs. They'd want their team to win.
Montreal doesn't because in North America there's separation between teams and leagues.


And no, Ryabkin didn't refuse. He played. He just whined, pouted and was a total liability on the ice. Only after Ryabkin's shenenigans did Dyanmo let him out of his contract. He wasn't worth the effort for them.
