frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted July 15, 2013 Good luck in the KHL it will be a huge culture shock for him, so hopefully he can make enough money there and go to one of the nicer leagues in europe after that (Sweden or Switzerland). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Axe Report post Posted July 15, 2013 You never know. This guy may be bacl at age 30 as a legot NHLer. No reason to be unkind to Meech. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,520 Report post Posted July 15, 2013 I think his game will translate well to the KHL. He was always a good skater, and with all that time and space he might make a difference for his team. Good luck to him. Good luck in the KHL it will be a huge culture shock for him, so hopefully he can make enough money there and go to one of the nicer leagues in europe after that (Sweden or Switzerland). Whatever dude, I've actually been to Russia and it's awesome over there. Obviously I wouldn't want to live there for peanuts, but if you're a millionaire, that place is like a god send. Meech will have a killer time there with all the black market champagne, caviar, and beautiful blonde women that money can buy. And with the exchange rates as they are, his salary will buy a TON of champagne, caviar, and women. I envy Derek Meetch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
