Anyone know what Cherepanov's plans are regarding playing in the NHL? Is he staying atleast another year or two in Russia?

Well, as you probably know, it would be illegal for cherepanov to leave until he's 20. He might still leave, but we could still see a Russian club bring him to an international court.

Actually, Zherdev was born in present-day Ukrane, but my point was made

Kramer: Ha ha, the Ukraine. Do you know what the Ukraine is? It's a sitting duck. A road apple, Newman. The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine.

Ukrainian: Ukraine is game to you?! How about I take your little board and smash it!!

Cherepanov gets no respect because he's Russian. if he was Canadian, he would be touted as the #1 pick.

Um if Cherepanov was Canadian he'd be Angelo Esposito and would be touted as a possible top 10 pick, just like, ta DA --> Cherry himself.

I hope I never hear a remark like this again, I think the scouting agencies know what they're doing.
