[GermanSpitfire]

Not surprising at all, we heard the rumours for around a month now.

Ottawa’ll likely retain his rights so if he becomes the next Dadonov, he’ll likely return to Ottawa.

 

[Tuna99]

Good luck man.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Good for him. KHL money beats AHL money any day of the week.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Going home. Hope he finds success

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Good luck, bud. Loved his energy. He'll be a star over there.

 

[Icelevel]

That’s too bad for him I say.

Was close to making the nhl. Probably would have got a shot with someone here.

Should have stuck it out a bit longer if he wanted to make the nhl.
Maybe he preferred the KHL at this point with everything going on. ?

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

I’d probably do the same thing if I was him. Hopefully he tears it up and we hold onto his rights if he wants to come back. Disappointing but we have so much prospect depth I’m not that upset about it.

Second Duchene trade not looking too hot so far.

 

[Icelevel]

Yeah that’s some bad agenting if you ask me.
Hope it works out for him somehow.

Second Duchene trade not looking too hot so far.

Duchene for Lassi Thomson.

 

[Micklebot]

I liked him but he was in tough to crack the team. Would have liked to see him get about 20 games, but instead we gave those games to guys like Galchenyuk, and a retread of Dzingel. Oh well...

 

[topshelf15]

Could see this one coming...He wants to make some money and has been passed on the depth chart...

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Yeah that’s some bad agenting if you ask me.
Hope it works out for him somehow.

Its not so bad.. He really wasn't going to grow his game much in the AHL and he was being pushed down re cracking the Sens lineup

 

[Bevans]

Great news for him and the Senators.

Traktor can develop him from here. The team and Abramov avoid the bad blood of being called up and sent down as he grows his game. If he's good enough to be an NHLer he will be back, and it will be as a cost controlled, developed adult.

I hope he loves his time back in Russia.

Which leads to the question, how good is Traktor at developing and refining young players?

I hear they've developed some pretty good farmers

Well their youth program has produced Kuznetsov, Kravtsov, and Abramov.

In terms of their development of 19-25 year olds, hard to tell. They've been super reliant on imports such as Tomas Hyka over the last season. Abramov should get a lot of reps with Teemu Pulkkinen, who has shone since moving to the KHL.

Well, I hope it works out. For his sake, at least.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Too bad I liked him.

those duchene and singe deals starting to get pretty thin

 

[Bevans]

Which leads to the question, how good is Traktor at developing and refining young players?

Which then leads to a question of nature vs nurture. If he is good enough, I think he'll make it work. If it doesn't work, its on him.

 

[DrEasy]

All the players I like leave us.

 

[OD99]

Whatever - he goes over and develops more and if he comes back we have his rights but at worst hopefully he a makes a lot more money and has a blast in an offensive league.

There are a number of players looking to get a chance with Ottawa so maybe this allows one of the newer shiny players a quicker route.

 

[playasRus]

I'd imagine his outlook of things would have been different if COVID didn't ravage the last two seasons.

He's played two seasons of reduced schedule, which in itself cut down opportunities with the NHL, and to boot, he had to do all that in isolation away from family.

Traktor!!

 

[SensFactor]

Not unexpected. Good luck to him. Not sure he would make the big club even next year and I think KHL is best option for him.
