Re: Around the League - Offseason 2017
Klim Kostin who is now able to come to the Blues without waiting.
A leafs 6th round pick is also there, Nikolai Chebykin
Those two only played a few games though.
None of their forwards did anything of note. The team kinda sucked offensively.
Jusson Haitenen is a Finnish RH Dman who had 30 points in 45 games, but is also 32 so a bit older to come over.

So these dudes play the whole year without a dime , how the heck do they survive with families .
I am sure the heavyweights like Kovalchuk probably make a good chunk of a top teams payroll by himself with guarantees

Re: Around the League - Offseason 2017
Its crazy over there. Why do you think so many guys like Radulov, or Shipachyov or others are leaving and there are reports they were offered more in the KHL? Cause yeah they were offered more, but the contract means nothing and you might lose all or part of it if the team says we are broke and not paying you and the league does nothing about it other than make you a free agent.

Czech Centre playing in the KHL... Jan Kovar, but appears to be signed for next year.
French Centre who went to Ottawa a while ago and sucked, but then went to KHL and tore it up, and then tore it up at the Worlds is Stephane Da Costa. Id give him a cheap deal. He is a free agent

Re: Around the League - Offseason 2017
It think it's pretty clear what Claude Julien thinks of Russian hockey payers in general. The Bruins never had many under him either. It's a little easier to comprehend why a serious effort was not made to sign Shippy this year, when it was last year, before CJ arrived.

Unlike CH1, I don't think it's just a coincidence. Yeah they offered Radulov a good contract but not as good Dallas's given the tax comparisons.

Yup, Sergachev.
Galchenyuk would have been gone already if MB could have found a good offer for him, lucky for us, he didn't.
Still, with CJ as coach, 4.9 million for a 4th line winger is a bit of a overpayment.

Re: Around the League - Offseason 2017
I don't see tax comparisons as relevant since the cap is the same for every team and MB would have priced himself out of adding a puck moving d-man. His offer was generous enough to keep Radulov.
Perhaps they are nationalistic motives at play but foolhardy IMO to be certain of it given the small sample size and MB's recent history of signing/retaining Russians.
