I see him playing at Red Wings Bottom6.

Even though Svechnikov is Russian, their family is quite based there on the States.

KHL maybe pays premium for skilled star players, but grinder like him will earn more in NHL 4th line.

I don't think he will head overseas next year, but it will be his final chance I'd imagine. As long as he's given an actual chance to make the roster and play regularly I'd imagine he stays to play against his brother, parents can watch both kids on this side of the pond.

Svechnikov proably going to KHL.



Would be better for him on this Corona situation, if there's no place to play in North America.

Now is that just so he can play hockey due to the uncertainty of when any next season will start in NA?

That seems like the question. Either his knee isn't responding and no one expects him to make a real go of an NHL career, or this is the best way to ensure he gets some games under his belt next year and he doesn't lose more development time than he already has.

I will believe it when I see it, but then again I am probably a cold war kid of sorts.

I'll be pissed we spent the season on Perlini and Timashov and Hirose and Erne and everyone but Svech.
What if he's a hardworking 12-20 goal third liner who helps a 2nd PP unit and we just buried him until he quit.

I don't understand this f***ing organization.
Svech has to prove it (and his advanced stats were pretty darn good. Nobody put more shots on goal than Svech). But we let other players suck donkey ass all f***ing year as we steamroll to the worst season in franchise history.

Part of a tank is playing young players over their head, usually.
For whatever reason, despite having our own unproductive 23-year-old, Yzerman and Holland decided to corner the market on iffy 23-year-old wingers.
