AO's decision to come on Wednesday

[Epsilon]

and he's being offered over a million more to play there than in the NHL, but aside from that, nope, no sense at all.

Not to mention his Russian salary would be 1.8 million NET, rather than 900k gross.

Of course, this doesn't take into account that he could make money on endorsements.

Wow, surprised there's not more discussion about this. This should be huge news for everyone here at HF since we are all so into prospects/young players...OVECHKIN VS. CROSBY!!! I hope these guys end up neck n neck for the Calder race. What a way to start off the NEW NHL with two NEW STARS-IN-THE-MAKING!
