My only concerns now are injury or a contract extension.

Contract extension?!

 

[Habs]

Money talks.

Yeah but i'm sure there are rules that prevent this from happening ?

They changed the rules,he can't be loaned, but he can be traded or probably sent to the Habs for compensation, but i don't know the exact rules.

Demigod coming over for the season would be... a godsend

Demidov getting benched for the entire 3rd period after taking a minor penalty tells us all we need to know about his situation with that coaching staff. Can't wait until he gets the f*** out.

So, we can expect that same treatment for every other player on the team when they take a penalty..right? Get called, sit out the rest of the game. What a f***ing joke.

Personally, I don't think you need to teach a player of Demidov's calibre that taking offensive zone penalties is bad. It's not a common occurrence in my viewings and I'm confident he understands why that wasn't a good choice for himself or the team. He's not a player that needs a short leash to keep him engaged. Lame coaching.

Habs season was looking up until the shit hit the fan last night. I wonder if mgm will explore getting him out a bit more seriously.

There are no rules that can't be ignored or Michkov wouldn't be in the NHL.

 

[morhilane]

I'm amazed. Demidov actually played under the 9 mins I guessed he would play.

Habs absolutely could use an awesome player right now. SKA don’t seem to need said awesome superstar. It’s a match made in heaven!

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Why would anyone go to SKA games? They don't care about winning. They loan their best player (Michkov) to another team last season. They should have sold Michkov to Philly last season if they weren't going to use him. And again they won't play their best player this season.

I have not even the smallest inkling of doubt he would instantly be in our Top-6 today. Habs absolutely need him now. What the f*** is he doing playing under 9 minutes a game against lesser competition?

They need him because they are obligated to have two U20 players on the roster by the KHL rules...

I’m sure they can find another high energy plug grinder that skates well to take his U20 spot. My most generous interpretation is that they’re running a gerontocracy at SKA. He’d actually be a very useful player in a merits based system. This whole ordeal alters my perception of Michkov’s relationship with SKA.
