He should probably go back to Russia, nobody is handing him a good contract on this side of the pond again. If he has a big year all he could do is continuously get one year deals, the word is out at this point.
I mean yeah if Semin is willing to play for a million sure we should think about it even given the roster jam. That is just too good a price for what he brings and you have to think he will wind up on somebody pretty good if he is willing to do that. But anybody that offers him term again is outright foolish and I don't expect to see it even if he bounces back.
Ribeiro has actually cost himself a lot of money with his behavior over the years. At least in terms of Semin he at least baited somebody into a big contract commitment and banked 7 million for a couple years before that, but his gravy train is over he is in the bargain bin for while and in one year term as long as he stays in NA in my opinion.
I know that Ribeiro cost himself money. Semin has too if he wants to stay in the NHL because he's not getting big money this offseason. Ribeiro is my example of a player taking a cheap one year contract to resurrect his career. If Semin stays in the NHL, I could see him taking that route...
