CloudConnected 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2007 It pisses me off how the Wings have handled him...they knew he was a dynamo when they drafted him in 2001 but refused to bring him over to N.A. even after awesome seasons in 01-02 and 02-03. He should've been in the AHL in 02-03 and on the Wings roster in 03-04 but for some reason they want to leave him in Russia until his late 20s. Now he might not even ever see American soil after his accident...what a waste. Well, seeing as how stacked the Wings were in 01-02, they weren't in any rush to bring him over. They had Datsyuk and Zetterberg higher up on the prospect list than him, so why not let him develop in a highly competetive league without Illitch having to pay his salary on top of the Hall of Fame salary we had that year? I bet they wanted to bring him over in '03-04, or have him over right after that, but he had the car accident after the 02-03 season. They didn't even know if he'd live, let alone play again. You can't totally fault the Wings by not rushing him into the league, especially when we didn't have open roster spots in those seasons. If the accident would have never happened then he would be in his second or third year, guaranteed. I mean, I'm with you. We've been hearing about this kid for 5 or 6 years now, so I'm a little burnt out by potential and just want him over here too. But he's still just 23, so he's got a long career ahead of him. I think the Wings count on him landing a spot out of camp next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
