Particularly as a Canadian team, with what happened with Fox and Rutger McGroarty to name a few, I don't think there should be any more concern regarding Russian prospects as there are college prospects. Russian prospects do come, it might just take some time. Some high profile college players have more leverage and can just refuse to sign and then you're in a pickle since you have to trade a player without much leverage.
Matvei Michkov released by KHL club join, will join Flyers | TSN
Matvei Michkov was officially released by SKA St. Petersburg on Tuesday and will join the Philadelphia Flyers this summer, the KHL club confirmed.www.tsn.ca
That said, don't let where a player comes from be a deterrence from drafting them, pick BPA and work hard to get them over.

McDavid was playing while enduring an abdominal injury that will obviously require surgery, while Leon Draisaitl was also injured, according to what I was told.
In Draisaitl's case, it would be a fractured rib and a finger injury

To win, Edm was competitive as were previous Cdn teams who made it to a up finals.
Reality is low / no tax markets hold advantage of building deep teams - “building” also requires competent management which TBay, Fla didn’t have for most of their history

Demidov is a HAB
and if he doesn't cut it, he's being loaned to another team.
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

That's the part I don't get. Ok, this year he was 18, a rookie, etc.... but with another year of experience they don't even PLAN to have him with them. If the guy is as good as advertized here on this board (second only to Bedard, etc), why can't they even play him in a lesser league than the NHL but he is supposed to be extraordinary in the NHL
What the hell is Stevie Y doing?
Walman averaged like 20 minutes per night and is actually a very decent defenseman with a decent aav. To give up a good asset in a 2nd rounder just to have SJ take him off their hands? Huh..?
If Yzerman plans on making a big splash in Free Agency, I’d be very nervous if I was a Wings fan because I thought their off-season was awful for the most part last year.
I haven’t been impressed with Stevie since leaving Tampa.

Did Detroit even need the cap space?
Is there a significant UFA in this year's market to go big game hunting? Or maybe one of the big fish on the trade market (Marner, Laine?) ?
Have to re-sign Sieder and Raymond, and are likely trying to bring back Kane although I have a feeling he’s signing elsewhere.
Maybe they take a run at Stamkos?
Either way I’m sure Yzerman will overpay for multiple players like he did last year. Yikes.
Stamkos to Detroit.
Marner to Detroit.
Something crazy like that.

It’s such a bad return that something must be brewing. I can’t make sense of it otherwise.

And if they did, Walmart isn't the guy I'd pay a 2nd to get rid of. They have other options like Holl.

First ballot. He was great player. Terrible his career cut short. He's reason we got to finals
This Jake Walman trade is really strange. I'm a bit lower on him than the analytics guys but he's still a perfectly good 4-5 type. No idea why he would have negative value with 2 years left at 3.4M.
I guess we have to assume that Detroit wouldn't have paid a 2nd to dump his contract without exhausting other options but even with his 10 team NTC I can't imagine that there wasn't any other team out there who would have taken him for free at the very least. Going to be funny to see how many teams sign worse defencemen to more expensive contracts than Walman.

He should go in as a Utah Hockey Club player even before they play their first NHL game.

Jake Walman looked decent next to Seider to same way Komisarek looked decent next to Markov.

Roenick was good but I look at him as a HOF caliber guy that never quite built the resume. Everyone from the ‘90s and 2000s really are gonna get in eh…except Mogilny I guess. And maybe not Theo until he sorts himself out
