Has Marek ever gotten a look in North America? He's been pretty much a point per game his entire career in europe, including in Russia this year.
I'm sure the Kings would bring him in if he'd consider signing and coming over to North America. Problem is, he's likely to earn more money in Russia.
So he probably thinks he won't.maybe, but if he became a great nhl player he would probably get more money in NA long-term.
Rangers fans may infer that because he didn't accept their terms, but I've heard that it was the terms that he didn't like, not the notion of coming over. Apparently, he wants a one-way deal so that he's sure to play in the NHL if he comes over, not the AHL. I would hope that Lombardi is ok with giving him one, or else I don't see why he would've acquired the rights.The only reason the rangers traded him was because he apparently didn't have any intentions on coming to the NHL.
