What a huge development if they can get the Russian prospects out of Russia into NA.

Get him over ASAP, before things change.

There is one piece for the pipeline folks.

So, at a minimum Adams & this kid's agent expect Russian hockey players to still be able to play in NA.

Maybe that hand wringing over the Amerks having nearly 0 prospects is a bit premature.  

Sweet.

They are bringing him over to get some garbage plates and Buffalo wings with blue cheese.

Dude needs to put on some weight if he is going to be playing against men.

[Weave]

Let’s see if Putin lets him out of Russia.

I'm not sure this is as big a problem as I thought it was a few months ago. 

Players are getting out.

We won the Hall trade right ? Right?

Honest question.   What Russian players are getting out?

Flyer goalie just signed and Carolina goalie came over mid season which was mid invasion.

Ok.  One came over a couple of months ago.  I think there is still reason for concern.  Hopefully he gets out too.

He’s another late birthday, like Quinn. He’ll be turning 20 in the fall.

This is a pleasant surprise. Wonder if the plan is for him to be an Amerk next season?

Hope he’s at least 170 by now.

Related, I’m expecting a development camp this summer for the first time in ages.

4 Russians from last year, 4 high picks this year, Rosen, Bloom and Nadeau?

Huglen and Johnson? Dare I dream Levi versus Portillo?

Maybe even Power, Peterka and Quinn?

Could be good one.

Not if he finds out he’s playing for the Americans.

Who wouldn't want to play for Kerri Russsell?

Again, hopefully he gets out.  A contract is meaningless if Russia stops emigration.

150 lbs is pretty scrawny for a guy turning 20. I would think his Elite Prospects data has not been updated in a while. The N.Am. adjustment may be easier if you get him over ASAP.
