Sounds like a good player, could be a nice add for a few teams in the league.

Some Russian hockey writers say, it's Washington, but they can be wrong, of course.

Would be a fine choice IMO.

I know right! Tavares is the only kid in the world who had his favorite team PJs. Man do they even make that stuff. A team blankie? No one would would even make that.

Are you kidding. I thought Tavares was the only child in the world who would have that kind of thing. Wonders never cease.

Outside chance TB

I'm pretty sure this guy has one that says Sergei in Russian.

Would love to see him next to Malkin.

My God those Russians sure do love New York.

My God those Russians sure do love New York.

He won't come to NY, though.

Brooks says the rangers are out, the islanders arent exactly an ideal area for free agents

Apparently signed with the Caps.




Sergei Shumakov signed a contract with the "Washington". The bilateral contract of the newcomer is 0.925 thousand for one season.

Excellent if so. Caps have graduated all of their forward prospects, for the most part (save guys like AJF, Barber, etc). So this would be a really nice add to the ranks. Their D prospect depth (and G) is good.

This would be the 3rd forward from over the pond that theyve added. Ikonen, Kammerer, and now Shumakov. All higher end skill players. Their current forward prospect groups are more lunch pail types, so this is smart.

In GMBM I trust!

To the Caps

 

[John Price]

Good deal

 

[Brodeur]

Good deal

Shumakov is still subject to the ELC rules so he had to sign a 1 year (two way) deal with a max guarantee of 925K. Could be some performance bonuses tacked on, but we'll see when more details emerge.

I'm just curious how soon we'll see him play. eager to see what he can do. Apparently he and Kuznetsov have played on the same line in the World Juniors

Good on him. Hope he makes the most of it.

 

[DANTHEMAN1967]

I was going to make some smarmy retort, but thought better of it.

I laughed as I wrote it. Glad you saw it the same

All past wrongs are forgiven, let's all sit cross-legged around the campfire, Leaf fans on one-side Leafs haters on the other, and sing kumbaya!

 

[VoluntaryDom]

I wonder if he comes to Hawks. His buddy Shalunov is Hawks prospect and they have played together like last 4 years.

Wonder when Shalunov will actually play for the hawks lol

Something like that

After the Caps repeat, next summer we can all hold hands and howl at the moon. In preparation for the negativity!

(no, thats not what we'll do after the Caps repeat?? err....I will show myself out?)

 

[branch]

He won't come to NY, though.

The draw of Brighton Beach is real
