I wonder if he can be persuaded to come to camp with the agreement that if he doesn't make the team, he goes straight to his KHL team.

Decent player, but not a huge loss if he goes. We have plenty of other prospects ready to pass him.

Parker Kelly looks like one. Maybe less skilled, but much more tenacious.

I remember abramov always crashing the net and causing havoc a couple years ago. He looked really tame this year and in one game got outdone by Parker Kelly for a bottom 6 role in the future.

 

[Deku]

If he leaves, would we retain his rights? I don't think he makes the team next year but I could easily see him being one of those guys who comes back and surprises after a few years in the KHL like Dadonov

Another player that was perpetually way over hyped by Sens fans.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Not much of a loss. He's too slow for his size. Probably has a nice career overseas.

With Davidsson flopping all we now have to show from trading Duchene is Lassi.

FAKE NEWS.... it is only a repot... not a report.

Another player that was perpetually way over hyped by Sens fans.

Or as usual was hyped up by the biggest mouth in the league.

“Vitaly is a quick, creative player with excellent offensive instincts,” said Pierre Dorion. “He projects as a scoring forward and possesses a terrific shot with an elite release.”

We feel that both Vitaly and Jonathan, along with the first-round pick will help enhance the team’s future and fit with our continuing effort to build a younger, faster and stronger roster.”

Lmao he is so full of it. Spin Doctor Pierre

I never understand that people think that a GM isn't going to hype a player up. How stupid would it be to say "we just signed Joey Joe, he's okay on the forecheck, but doesn't stick to the structure. We took a chance because he had huge upside, but we know it was a risk because of his size and inability to play the system."

It just is never going to happen on any team with any GM

 

[God Says No]

Not surprised. I would do the same if I was Vitaly. The org doesn't see a future for him. I would have preferred he got the spot over the other pylons we had playing this year, but it is what it is.

 

[cudi]

Prolly make some much nicer dough over there. Good for him. Maybe he'll give the NHL another shot in a few years.

 

[SensFactor]

Good player but he's going to be passed by others in the depth chart. Best of luck to him though.

He’s been here for 2 years. I don’t think there was any overhype

 

[SpezDispenser]

Meh, have a hard time caring too much with the prospects we have coming.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Solid prospect I hope the sens release his rights to see if there is a nhl club interested in giving him a shot

 

[NyQuil]

We should be grinding him up into a nutritious slurry that we can feed to our players, right @Hale The Villain ?

That would be the most cost-effective use of an asset that we could potentially lose anyway.

Talk about a waste of an asset.

Would be better to chain him to an exercise bike and get him to power the lights at the CTC.

Melnyk would approve I'm sure.

I initially laughed, but then I started thinking about diverting that kinetic energy to warm the water of the taps in the 300 level bathrooms.

Possibly but I just think people wanted to see him do well since his Gatineau jr days. Its easy to pull for a guy with local ties. I could see him getting another shot in 2-3 years once he lights up the KHL

Best to him

 

[Micklebot]

Honestly don't think too many people saw a spot for him in the long term plans, he was behind Tkachuk, Stützle, Paul, and Formenton afterall.

Heck, he would have started off behind Balcers too. I liked his game, but it was always going to be an uphill battle for him to win a spot here. I think in the right situation he could pan out as a middle 6 guy, but he'll make more money in the KHL

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Not surprising. Never thought he'd end up a regular here either way.

 

[Sting]

A good example of why its important to acquire quality rather than quantity in trades. Pierre was certainly lucky that we got Stutzle and Norris out of that trade.
