Сергей Костицын: отобрал бы 10-ку у Эллисона
You have to translate but darn that means no chance of a Kostitsyn in the NHL.

Also in the where are they now KHL edition:

Limus Ulmark signed with Salavat
Andrej Meszaros signed with Bratislava
Marc-Andre Gragnani signed with Dynamo Minsk

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I wouldn't assume they're not going to trade him anyway. Someone making good money has got to be moved somewhere.

It has, not for one second, made any sense that the guy they would trade would be their best blue liner.

Then again, it probably wouldn't even be in the top five dumbest things to happen in the NHL recently so why should I be so shocked.

I saw a marchand to canucks rumour yesterday

It's just not believable at all. The hate from fans to him and him to this city makes it ludicrous to imagine.

 

[BGDave]

I will say it again

I love PK

 

[forty_three]

I will say it again

I love PK

I am so glad someone like him isn't in my locker room.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I am so glad someone like him isn't in my locker room.

I am so glad someone like Michel Therrien is in the Habs' room and PK Subban isn't.

But Molson's product isn't THAT bad.

Subban took a jab at his new home south of the border in Nashville as well.

“If there’s one thing I’ve tried to do in all the cities I’ve played in, it’s immerse myself in the local culture. In Belleville, I learned how to sail, when I moved to Montreal, I learned how to speak French – right ladies? And in Hamilton, I learned how to breathe through my mouth,” he joked, as the audience laughed. “So now that I’m living in Nashville, it’s time I learned more about…” he said, baiting the audience… before he hit the punchline: “That’s right, getting pulled over by the cops.”

Shea Weber is gonna get chewed up and spit out of Montreal isnt he? by both media and the fans ... theyre talking about the deal in the cesspool and they brought up the article written by some habs reporter yesterday re "where is Shea Weber?"

in summary, the writer wanted to know why Weber hasnt shown his face in Montreal yet for any type of press conference

i mean ... Shea is not helping matters much ... when Weber was in the cesspool last week at the Moj golf tournament, he was short and didnt want to talk about the trade or how he felt about it at all ... almost seemed like he was in denial

it was great (awkward lol ) radio ... Weber was on with his childhood buddy Cody Franson and the radio guys were reminiscing about how last year at the golf tournament when they were on the air, Shea was ripping/ribbing Franson for not being able to land with a team and Franson took it and (sadly) laughed it off

... and this year when the radio hosts asked Franson if he had some verbal shots/barbs to hit at his buddy as revenge, Franson said "I dont think Im allowed to talk about that" wow lol

Cody isn't one to throw stones, although Weber could probably use a little Rosetta Stone...

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
Kris Russell camp is still waiting for a few teams to clear money. Free agency can be a tough waiting game.

Nope, not yet - Last I heard he and his agent were still waiting for some teams to clear some cap space.

Ottawa has the cap space. I'd be fine with Russell taking Borowiecki's spot on the third pairing at ~$2M. Somehow I don't think that's what Russell has in mind though

He might have to "settle" for about what he was making last season (2.6 million).
