Saw the jackets were trying to move him? Anyone know the story? I know he has tons if upside but never got a shot in the nhl....4th pick in the draft too!

I would guess a Zherdev situation, all the talent in the world with no work ethic. Not sure though.

All I've heard about it is Hitchcock didn't like him...

 

[nj_cup]

Yeah lol I know hitch doesn't like him. If they are looking for a low pick i would do a 3rd! Take a chancr on him

 

[MCDevils]

Couldn't hurt.

 

[nj_cup]

Saw he got dealt for a 3rd rounder. shame

Man his stock has really fallen hasn't it. I remember coming out of that draft how pumped up they were over him. Now he's slipping towards anonymity in the khl

 

[nj_cup]

First zehderv and now him? Man I wish the devils took a chance on him. Don't think going to Ottawa will help

 

[MCDevils]

It's certainly a risk. Man this league has soured on Russians SOOOO fast. Everyone's terrified of picking them now, because if they're not on the NHL roster, they jump back to the KHL for big paydays. Look at Vasyunov. He's going back and didn't even have the respect to tell management? Think the Devils will be drafting any Russians anytime soon?
