According to Hockey Abstract the translation factor for KHL to NHL was roughly 0.74, as of 2017. By that metric Datsyuk would have had roughly 31 pts in 54 games in the NHL this year, or 47 pts in a full 82 game season. Also this thou

Wow, bold move there Yzerman

Really? I don't see anything feminine in the slightest

Werenski looks really fat in that picture. Sure you want that??

Larkin getting a head start on his scouting career. Spotted at CBJ/BOS game.

Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha Hirose - Nielsen - Athanasiou Helm - Datsyuk - Zadina DLR - Glendening - Abdelkader ? Then puts Dats on a PP unit too

He'd be like our Brad Richards addition a few years ago. He'll be slow but will still put up like 40 pts feeding the kiddos juicy passes.

If Boston wins these playoffs burning through 8 seed teams I'm gonna rip my ears off my head

I mean only way I'd want him is like a 1 year 1 mill screw it why the hell not Mike Modano contract

Callahan + Abby = so much intangibles thou...

I think we've probably hit the season where Howard starts to regress, however quickly, and injuries might start becoming more prevalent again. I see next season Bernier playing more than last year and I have no faith in Bernier.

I just don't buy the playoff hunt next year thing. If Yzerman makes big waves maybe... but the current defense and netminding is not enough to keep our young forwards propped up IMO.

Fkin' Yekaterinburg!

His agent is also a shady Russian banker who's been raided by the FBI multiple times.

If you could move up from the 35 spot to the 27 spot for Callahan do you do it?

This is a pretty good trade scenario, and gotta think Brisebois and Yzerman will use each other to get what they want, kinda like how Holland and Yzerman did for a moment. It just screws up my obtaining Brayden Point scenario. I would love to have Callahan. He's overpaid but he plays hard-nosed red blooded hockey and his contract is almost up. I dunno if we get a first outta that thou.

Thanks for my morning Xanax bar It mostly boils down to "Don't you dare look at other NHL teams you ****, you're mine, haha I love uuuuuuu Dats"

Yeah he supposedly showed up to training camp super fat that year too

SHUT UP I FORGOT HIM Funny that Smitty has kinda become the Rags Witkowski thou

Exactly. Lets not Edmonton this ship and sign Lucic because we're excited and wanna accelerate. I suspect Yzerman won't sign anyone major unless he really has his eyes on someone he thinks is low key really good like a Stralman. Other than that he'll probably sign depth players to fill whatever holes he sees, and maybe a project player like a Johnson/Gourde/Conacher. Rinse and repeat until a few bad contracts are off the books and some more kids are up... then we strike.

And Brendan Smith

The scary part is there are so many Russians with the Rags right now it could happen lol and they sort of have a super young forward group in need of a leader and most of the Russians are in the forward group... and Dastyuk and Namestnikov know each other well through Larionov's time in Detroit If Dastyuk pulled a Jagr and went to NYR I will rip both my ears off my head

Seriously Krieder - Zibanejad - Kakko Buchnevich - Namestnikov - Kravtsov Chytil - Strome - Vesey Lemieux - Howden - Fast Skej - Shattenkik Staal - Pionk Hakej - Deangelo Lundqvist Georgiev That lineup is so young and laden with talent that is going to boom in like 2 or 3 years. Their oldest forward in that lineup is Kreider at 28, and their youngest Dman is Staal at 32 That would be pretty solid. I worry about Datsyuk playing a full season at this point though.

Obviously Kronner has multiple appearances. Witter and Bowey with some of the bigger hits though.

Yzerman brings back Fedorov and Datsyuk? Might as well call up Shanny and Chelly too.
