Keep him right where he is. Markov, Radulov, and Emelin are perfect mentors. Can you imagine the hazing? LOL
He's practicing with the team, that's important too. He needs to get used to competing against NHL caliber players, be it in a real game or in practice.
Sending him to junior won't accomplish much for him imo, his biggest issue is the amount of time it takes him to make a play in the d-zone. Junior players can't punish him for slow decision making, NHL players can and will.
Dany Dubé on TVA Sports seems convinced Sergachev will play on Saturday against the Leafs and on Sunday he'll be sent back to Windsor. We shall see.

He's learning a hell of a lot from practices and watching the team from the press box. I'm all for this. He'll go back down sometime after Christmas.
Emelin is on the block the moment that trade get done we know what they really want to do with Sergie.

It's not the end of the world if he misses a couple of junior games. He's practicing with the best team in the NHL, learning and training with some of the biggest gym beasts in the NHL. Really, he'll be on the Russian u20 and at the memorial cup, he'll have plenty of games.
Well said!
