Sam Cosentino said:My very first (time) meeting (Seider), I was with Louie DeBrusk, and we were at the NHL combine. And so we saw Mo, and it took a minute to kind of figure out who he was, and then just kind of in the bowels — and this was an informal thing. Like, we’d been interviewing all the players. But before our interview, we just kind of ran into him. And so we started talking (about his Mannheim teammate Denis Reul and how strong he is). And then Louie DeBrusk, you know he’s a big dude … and (Seider) looks at Louie and he goes, not like you, like (Reul works out) really hard. So I don’t know if he was like ball-busting, or if it was just a funny thing that he was kind of ripping on Louie a little bit. But either way, the three of us just started pissing ourselves laughing.
We might even make the playoffs in the SHL!Let’s send our entire team to Sweden

Really like what I'm seeing from Tyutyayev so far. Hopefully he will play in a better league next season so we can get a better read on him.
Better bring him to GR.My bet is he joins the Minsk KHL team. Same city, better league.

I am not 100% sure on how KHL rights go, but as far as I know Avtomobilist will still own his rights so there may have to be a trade in order for him to play for another team. Minsk would probably be a better fit because they seem to be much more open to playing young guys, however mostly only Belarusians. Avtomobilist on the other hand don't play young guys much if at all.Hope for that. Tougher competition to play against, and that Division where Minsk plays has also NHL-sized rinks. Their home rink is 60 x 28m hybrid.
KHL is moving heavily on that direction. Guys won't need any adjustment periods to North-American rink, if they play already on it on their home country.
Kaprizov entered NHL from the 60 x 28 rink and he has looked pretty good straight on.
