The best Soviet forward ever, hands down.
He was also the most used penalty killer on the national team...

You don't know how happy you just made me. Lol

 

[VanIslander]

The only reason he didn't go much earlier is the RIDICULOUS variety of great RWers (compared to few G, LW).

You got a heck of a player. Helped us map out our draft too.

 

[VanIslander]

You need a goalie and have burned the NHL clubs with the top-5 goalies.

You need that Soviet guy, and/or that Czechoslovakian guy.

 

[Professor What]

The way this has played out, we know three players we're getting and we won't be taking them until the very end.
