Alexander semin being bought out

[nyqvististhefuture 1,002]

If were trading with Winnipeg, I want myers, not Byfuglien.

Haaa ... Not saying you but I remember pushing for him hard and people were saying he's a bust

Myers did great in the short time he's in winnipeg and locked up for years and they just traded for him,unfortunetly there's zero chance they trade him

I just think it kinda worked out nicely that right after the Semin news broke, the Weiss news began. Which opened up money that we didn't have plus a roster spot. I think it would revitalize him.

Kenny needs to have the balls to make Cleary go away. He doesn't have to be cocky about it. Larkin could make the team and explode.

[Bannedforlife 403]

I would just hate for him to shoot prematurely all over the place. You know how it is with these young kids and their first time...

All players make boneheaded plays. The key is to play hard and rub your opponents out along the boards.

[Bannedforlife 403]

That's true. Plus, you can only learn so much from playing with yourself. At some point you just need to jump in and get wet.

[Helmethead 235]

Practice makes perfect. Keep a good grip on your stick. You have to go to those hard areas and get right in there where the action is. No need to be sensitive. Just keep going at it. Eventually the hard work pays off and a player climaxes.

I was one of the ones saying add a first instead of mantha, I still don't want to get rid of mantha, but I'd give him up now that we have svech.

[Bannedforlife 403]

Geez, every time I think this thread has finally climaxed, you've come back with another one! I guess we haven't even touched the tip of it yet!

EDIT: I just realized that you tossed off climax on the last one. Blew it right by me I guess...

Haha I know eh...it's so hard to stop. I keep beating this Semin thread to death. I'll stop. The key is to know when you're all done. It can be messy but it's important to protect yourself. I should not go any further. Semin sucks. He can really shoot though. His aim is good. But he has no follow up with the rest of his game .

[Bannedforlife 403]

Yea, but it's a nice break from the usual grinding that goes on around here. Sometimes this forum makes me feel like a compulsive mass debater.

Its hard to get excited with no fore check.

His back checking is decent, but I don't like playing from behind with semin, he has no intensity, and he puts too much pressure on the rush, and when he doesn't score he gives up and you don't see him the rest of the time.

[marcaractac 3,963]

A big fat no to Semin, IMO. Outside of his skill, he is the opposite of what this team needs.

[Dominator2005 558]

I wouldn't mind him at around 2M$ on 1 year contract.

[Bannedforlife 403]

Well, look who decided to come late! Listen, im no Semin expert, but the sole fact that he shoots those long, hard blasts with his right hand would make him a welcome addition to the group. Plus, as long as Holland makes sure that we're protected during negotiations, we really won't be exposing ourselves to catching any SPCs that we'll regret later on.

Glad to be rid of Weiss, maybe we should sign Semin? Is like: maybe if I get addicted to meth I can give up doing crack.

[kickazz 5,459]

I don't want him on our team. His name is Semin. Basically it's Semen.

[Bannedforlife 403]

Whoa! No need to get vulgar bro!

[TheXym 2,606]

The contract negotiations could be a sticky situation. Do we need that after ditching Weiss?

[krsmith17 7,191]

I'd definitely take him on a 1 or 2 year deal worth no more than $2-2.5M per... He is lazy, but he was lazy back in his Washington days too. That didn't stop him from potting 30-40 goals per season. We have more than enough two way guys that could make up for his lack of defense. Put him on a line with Pav and he would put up 30+ for sure. He would be a massive upgrade on our power-play. Imagine having Semin on one unit and Pulkkinen on the other, coached by someone that will actually use them properly, around the left circle, where they could let off those nasty one-timers...

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

I thought it might be worth taking a chance on him last time for a one year deal to see if he could get it together on the Wings. At this point though, it's pretty clear he is what he is.

No thanks.

[TheDetroitRedWings 286]

There was a time where I would have wanted Semin in the winged wheel. But honestly, it seems his best days are behind him. And with the character issues he seems to have, the only way id be okay with him playing here is if it's for dirt cheap.

[Number19 159]

1 year 1m please.

[arag 308]

Any deal or payment for Semin is an overpayment. This guy does not want to play hockey. Why pay him anything.

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

He already went to Pittsburgh
