Whats the story about Mitchkov’s dad? Never seen anything about that.
his healthy 51 year old father was found dead in a shallow pond near his home months before the NHL draft…His dad had been going public saying he’d like to get his son out of his 6 year KHL deal so he could leave early for the NHL…
Ah, I do remember hearing about that now. Nothing to see here that is for sure! Wow.
Not discounting any of the off ice pressures. No doubt it’s a different world… The Fedotov and Michkov stories are both perfect and very recent examples.
Still doesn’t make any sense sending Michkov to a division rival for the season, where he is outproducing anyone on SKA… including #1C Alex Galchenyuk. If they’re going to go through with killing his dad then you’d think they would at least play him on their own team.
Shaw signed his contract. Just one year and a bit surprising but its a one-way. No idea on AAV though. Edit, I see its an AHL contract now.

I absolutely agree, makes ZERO sense…The SKA Oligarch owner is super flaky though…They have Ivan Demidov on that team too, he’s a projected top 3 draft pick this year…he’s been jerked around the roster since game 1…
The possibilities can easily turn into a Hollywood spy movie script, who’s to say SKA isn’t holding the Flyers hostage behind the curtain demanding payments or maybe Philly paid to get him off the team…no matter how crazy it sounds, you can’t rule it out…

That’s great for him! The kid is a living medical case study in knee repair…
Good for him to start getting a paycheck again. I think the goal for game action is Thanksgiving to early December. Then if there’s room or need for him with the NHL club this year he needs to pass through waivers before the trade deadline. I can’t imagine any team putting in a claim.
OMG what an absolute snipe for his 1st NHL goal, and through 4 Detroit defenders! Ovi’s eventual goals record won’t last very long!!!

This is exactly what I’m talking about regarding the online Bedard over-hype…
Brett Marshall (whoever he is) gets me…

None of this is on Bedard btw, I think its actually unfair pressure on the young kid… i’m just saying the online craziness is getting out of hand…
New Wild on 7th Episode with Jesper Wallstedt
This kid is so well spoken at 20 years old and it was interesting to hear about his initial AHL impressions and introduction to north american hockey…

Its just hype. If he were to have been drafted by the Wild I doubt it would be this big of a deal, but because he was drafted by an Original Six its the hype train. Kid has the skills to be elite for a long time, lets just enjoy the ride even if its the Hawks.

Does, “Online craziness” also extend to your efforts to grow this thread to 5,000 pages?
A feature article about MN Wild draft pick Jack Peart at The Rink Live. He was selected as a first team all-conference player in the NCHC.
Walker and Lettieri cut and being sent to Iowa….Does this surprise any of you hardcore guys? I thought Lettieri was kind of brought in to help the PP (even though he’s been a fringe player most of his career). He put up points this preseason. Guess I figured with our depth he’d be on the roster.
Im not surprised with those cuts.
They have decided to play with 12 forwards and accrue capspace to the point they can call up Walker or Beckman, injuries can obviously throw a wrench in that plan…
No surprises with guys waived/sent to Iowa. Barring injury the starting 12F/7D/2G roster has been pretty much set in stone. They’ll try only carrying 12F as much as they can to build cap space. Expect to see a fair amount of 11F/7D games this season. Hopefully they never get to the point of playing short but there’s a real chance it could happen with injuries.
Letteiri and Khaira were brought in to replace Nic Petan and Stevan Fogarty as the 13th forward/1st call-up guys. I expect Walker will be a call-up once they build enough cap space to afford him and also need a top-6 forward. Letteiri/Khaira/Walker are all very different players so who gets called up will depend on what position is open. Mason Shaw could work his way into that mix the 2nd half of the season as well.
Looks like they are playing the full team tonight and I think that’s Chicago’s full team as well

Dean was just on with PA and confirmed the entire starting lineup is playing tonight. He also sounded fairly happy with how Addison has come into camp, saying he’s playing with more grit and doing what they’ve asked him to do on and off the ice.
After reading “will Khaira or Letteiri get claimed?!” 100x on Twitter yesterday… this is just too perfect

Looks like Deano got into the Just For Men….

Has anybody confirmed the amount of games that have to be played to build enough cap space to carry that 13th forward.
I assume they want Walker playing more than watching like Letteiri and Khaira may do.

”I was told there would be no math”
Crazy how poised Faber is out there…never gets rattled… Rossi was impactful every shift that period, good sign…
I assumed you saw it on twitter somewhere.
You are slipping.
Pretty cool moment I am sure for the Foligno family with both brothers scoring tonight.
I wonder if two brothers have ever scored against each other in an NHL game.
If it was my family we would probably have a scrap in this game too.

I noticed both as well. Faber looks solid with as few games that he has had in the NHL.
On Saturday, it seemed like O’Rourke played well. Any thoughts on his long term prospects?
Faber looked a little jittery to start but he was flying around the O-zone. Thought for sure the one was going in
Nick is tough but not that tough. Guessing he’s smart enough to stay far away from little bro

I like to think the younger brother would win the scrap in my family as well. 
The Primeau’s are the only brothers to ever fight each other in the NHL right? I remember seeing interviews with them afterwards and they both said their Mom was super pissed and told them never again…. Too funny
