The team he's being loaned to specifically, signed him. If since other team signed him that's where the loan would have been to.Yeah and I actually read the article now and he's being loaned specifically to a different team so that doesn't work.
My hopes and dreams squandered.
Moving from Q to KHL is a massive change.This is not encouraging.

eh, I never heard he had problems with his junior team. I wouldn't go making a mountain out of a mole hill until I hear this is a consistent issue. Some players don't mesh well with certain coaches and teams. happens in the NHL a lot too. For instance Babcock and Barrie. Torts and half the league.It's not the initial lack of production that is concerning, its the personal disputes with his teammates.

I had to find an older interview I remember listening that I really liked from Chara, but I found an article on it instead.I'm not giving up on him, but it's still not encouraging to see. Of course I don't know the details and can only speculate as to why he was having issues with his teammates.....but he's a rookie, and maybe I'm a little too old school, but rookies in any league should keep their eyes and ears open and their mouths shut. And maybe that's what he did and he had no fault in these disputes, hopefully that's the case.
We are treating everybody the same way no matter if somebody is 18, or 40, or somebody has 1,000 games or is playing in their first game. We treat everybody with respect in the same way as everybody else in the locker room. I’ve said it many times. Since a very young age, I didn’t like the separation in a team between young players and older players, [or] players who have accomplished something or players that are just coming into the league. I don’t like to use the word ‘rookie.’ They are our teammates. I just don’t like to separate. I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. Once you’re a team, you’re a team regardless of the age, or accomplishments. We have to treat each other with respect and the same way.

Along with what was posted above, you're making up the teammates part. It says literally nothing about his teammates.
It says he is having trouble with his team, which could simply mean the coach.
what if its a simple as politics in the lockerroom? coach could be playing one of the younger kids who didnt cross the sea even though khovanov has shown he is better and it rubbed him the wrong way and they clashed?I did say that I was only speculating. And having trouble with his team, could also mean teammates and coach. We don't know. It's just not encouraging, that's all. In the end, in may turn out to be nothing. But I would rather he not have trouble with his team, whether that be a coach or player or locker room attendant.

Actually, there were rumors that Moncton didn't want him back because he was a detriment to the team due to being a hothead (remember he got suspended for biting another player). Rumors of him being undisciplined has followed him around and I'm wondering if his attitude and his behavior in Aks is what got him demoted to the 4th line.
interesting if true since John Torchetti his old coach liked him a lot when talking to Russo on straight from the source.Actually, there were rumors that Moncton didn't want him back because he was a detriment to the team due to being a hothead (remember he got suspended for biting another player).

Pics(links) or it didn't happen...
Moncton didn't want a player who scored 2 points a game back? One that wasn't coming back anyways because he was 100% turning pro.
UNDER CONSTRUCTION (IMPROVEMENTS TO MAKE)
- Needs to work on his explosiveness
- Could improve his faceoffs
- Prone to taking undisciplined penalties
However, his skating still needs some work, along with his penchant for undisciplined penalties — both attributes are quite fixable.
Alexander Khovanov will have to channel his sometimes selfish, anger driven attitude and undisciplined play to other parts of his game if he’s going to be an effective presence for the Cats this season.
