Injured players missing and a strong Locomotiv opponent probably means they won’t advance.
That’s an odd one for sure. Injury details are so secret now maybe we’ll know soon since he has a couple of months to heal as they were eliminated today by Locomotiv. Leivo has a new 2 year deal so he’s staying with UFA for a while.
From sports express michael zislis:
Some experienced Salavat Yulaev players were unhappy with Joshua Livo's behavior during the playoffs. This conflict did not come to light ahead of time only by a lucky chance. I do not want to inflate its details. Let someone else write about them. I'll wait for now. It's hard to understand how to get out of this situation. They expect something completely different from one of the highest paid players in the league. You can part with him. But where can you find an equivalent replacement?
From sports express michael zislis:
So I guess we’ll see how this plays out over the summer.

@CostaRica if I try to quote your post it gives me a blank text box, hence pinging you instead.
Apparently Mikhael Sergachev was in attendance at the game, showing his support for Utah prospects Dimitri Simashev and Daniil But. Simashev signed his ELC with Utah almost immediately after the game, which makes me wonder if a team representative was at the game with a contract ready to go, and accosted him in the dressing room after the game to get him to sign it.
