I thought he was signing with tampa?

 

[Kranix]

Kucherov. Sick. Who'da thunk?

 

[super6646]

Another left shot...

He’s gonna be in the ahl

 

[ViD]

Another left shot...

He’s gonna be in the ahl

No way he leaves the KHL to play in the AHL, it’s gotta be a one way contract

I like Nesterov, he can bring a little bit of everything to the table. For league minimum I'd welcome him back in Tampa for sure.

 

[beowulf]

Meh nothing impressive a #6 or 7 dman at best. But at $700K as depth sure why not.

 

[Kranix]

i have one question. does he have a big clapper

 

[super6646]

I mean that could be the case but the flames already have Giordano and hanifin and valimaki and kylington as nhl options on the left side.

Agreed. Unless he can play on his offside. I don’t see how Nesterov makes the flames. Unless it’s as a 7D and the flames are working to move Kylington which is very possible

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Two conflicting reports? Wouldn't mind him back in Tampa.

 

[BWJM]

Tampa planning to move on from one of Cernak or Sergachev?

Our AHL squad is saturated with lefties too. Mackey and Lerby come to mind.

Nesterov's alright but there's not much of a fit for him.

Nobody is giving him a NMC. 1-way contracts can be sent down. They just get paid the same.

 

[DFC]

I hope he's gotten A LOT better.

 

[Reaper45]

Wasn’t this the guy who L.A. was supposed to sign previously?

 

[Mobiandi]

Really going on all-out on Russians in the last two years. Other than a cup of coffee for Yelesin, pretty sure our last Russian played here about a decade ago

I’d probably donate a kidney to get Serg in a wings jersey

 

[Flamesfan62]

Another left shot...

He’s gonna be in the ahl

He plays right side.

 

[Flamesfan62]

He’s only played the right side in the KHL so I think he’ll be fine

 

[Double Dion]

Oleg Saprykin the Calgary legend

Ah Saprykin. That was such an awesome era of Flames hockey.

So looks like Treliving has found someone to play RD on the third line.

I doubt Treliving will make any more significant signings/trades after this.
