I think you mean GRU, or the lesser SVR

Ah, but the FSB is the successor to the KGB, which is close to Putin's heart (if he has one).
GRU would make more sense, but not as much fun.

Also he said that he was told that next season he will be personally recalled from the AHL or stay in the NHL.

That's encouraging.

Yes. I did lose it in translation. Thanks, Alex

I speak broken English fluently.

I speak broken English fluently.

Anyone with a different first language or an accent is except from this

People with English as their first and only language have no excuse.

You can ignore him. He thinks a hot dog is a sandwich.

Sushko probably speaks Russian, but I think most of the East Europeans now speak English as their second language.

Any word on Fedotov?
He was probably out of their plans, but after this season, you have to think he's jumped past a few guys. Same with Tomek.

And what happened to Sandstrom? Is he still struggling with injuries?

Sushko's mother tongue is Russian I believe, and if not he is 100% fluent in Russian. Everyone is Belarus basically is... more speak Russian than Belarusian. 70% of the country speak Russian at home. (the languages are close to mutually intelligible anyway I have been told.)

But they now have eight Russian speakers in the organisation. Voracek, Kase and Tomek are the only "Eastern" (though really they are Central European!) Euros in org... and yeh, doubt they speak Russian at all even if can understand bits due to some similarities with Czech/Slovak.

They have Fedotov's right indefinitely. So no rush... he wont be coming over even if they wanted him to until 2021-22 due to contract.

Sandstrom was injured, but now healthy again.

 

[deadhead]

Given the logjam, letting Fedotov mature in the KHL for two more years is a nice luxury.
At worst, he could be first rate trade bait if he continues to improve.

 

[Stizzle]

This is from a few days ago. I'm not sure if I'm hearing him correctly. Does ZimZam say he expects to play this year?

 

[deadhead]

"GM says maybe couple games" - i.e., after CHL he plays a couple games in Philly (or LHV if they make the playoffs).

That makes sense, if the opportunity presents itself I'm sure AV/Fletcher would like to see him against NHL competition to gauge how far away he is from the NHL.

Can't trade Ghost until you're sure his replacement is ready.

Zamula played very well for Russia in this tourney. He led them in ice time, even more than Romanov, and has a very solid all around game.

Stiz, I'm ecstatic you've adopted ZimZam. We need to run with this brother

 

[TheKingPin]

This D looks like it’s in great shape.

He won't be worth anything valuable in a trade with zero NHL, or even NA hockey, experience

You’re worse than DFF.

 

[Amorgus]

Can't flim flam the ZimZam!

 

[DancingPanther]

You’re worse than DFF.

Am I worse than Skok Gordok

You’re worse than DFF.

Don't worry, I am not going to let this become a thing.

Islanders used pick #31 on 21 year old goalie Mikko Koskinen. Who had one year in a 2nd tier Finnish league.
Fedorov puts together a couple top years in the KHL, he'll be seen by scouts and valued accordingly.

Sergei says please stop using his name in vain.

Zim! Zam! Thank you, m’am!

 

[Amorgus]

Sorry, this time I have to to join Team ZimZam.
