this is interesting. NYR also just signed Jones from UMass w/o perf bonuses

NYR had Cap restrictions this season,because they had to leave a cushion,
for ELC potential performance bonuses from Shesterkin, Fox, Kakko, Lafreniere,Miller and Barron

Dubas on the "leave Russians at home or start getting them used to NA hockey" debate:

Good. All evidences points that young russian prospects coming to N/A sooner than later conclusively leads to greater success.

Nice, get him on the Marlies squad. Hopefully he has a smooth transition from Russia.

Nice, i actually have faith in leafs scouting and development, lets see it how it goes with Amirov

I still think hes 2 year away from being in NHL, we will see though

But why? I understand Kaprizov, he was a star in the KHL and there was nothing to prove there for him, but Amirov? To spend 5 years in the AHL and then be discarded and return like a whipped dog? Just brutal.

I'm not following here. He's getting loaned back to the KHL.

I think our friend here jumped the gun and didn't read the details after seeing the "signed 3 year ELC" part.
