If Liberec advances they'll play Třinec.

That’s the end of that experiment.
Was worth a shot but I don’t think anyone will be surprised it didn’t work out.
Thank you, Sergei, for some sweet highlight reel goals in the soo and Charlotte. Best of luck back home.

Yep, Sergei was always a boom or bust proposition here. I'll give him credit for giving it a shot and wish him the best, and hopefully if he does turn it on over in the KHL we'll get the first look from him when he comes back over.

Sergei's not going to find it any easier to get ice time with CSKA, who regularly scratch players who would be top nine forwards on most other KHL teams. I'm sure they offered him a lot of money for it to be worth it, though.

But aren't they one of the few teams in the KHL that are financially solvent at the moment? That's probably a decent motivating factor.
Anyway, I loved his hands. Pity he couldn't translate to the higher levels, but the fact that we took a shot with him is a credit to the organization. Can't strike gold if you don't dig.

I liked his style and was rooting for him, but it wasn't an easy climb for him. I wish him luck with his CSKA contract and future.

Geekie with another 3 point night last night. So he has 10pts in 3 playoff games.
Sooooo....we don't kill him, then?
the secret to the Geekie situation is you leave him alone for now, so that he can be killed later for more of an impact

The sacrifice awaits performance against a team without Scott Darling in net.

Geeike with a hat trick last night. That's 9 goals + 4 assists in 4 games for him. Not too shabby.

Reading between the lines, sounds like he didn't think he and other prospects have been given real chances to succeed in this org, and he definitely seems interested in exploring other NHL organizations. Kinda tracks with what many of us have been saying about this org under Francis.
The Canes really need to do a better job of communicating with their players.

I don't get this. Which prospects haven't been given a real chance to succeed under Francis? Slavin? Pesce? Rask? Fleury? Aho? Hanifin? McGinn? DiGuisseppe? Chris Terry? Michal Jordan? Brett Bellemore? Even Wallmark, who was just "ok" last year in the AHL has played in about 20 NHL games.
Before Francis arrived, we didn't have any prospects worth giving a chance to and he came right in and said he was going to build the pipeline and develop them the right way. That's what he's done. Don't know why people would say prospects don't get a real chance to succeed in this org.
Tolchinsky's performance doesn't look like anything that warrants a callup. He's a below average scorer in the AHL and scoring is his forte.

Tolchinsky has been passed by a lot of guys on our depth chart. I don’t see him ever getting a chance here or really cracking the nhl in any organization.

He said similar things to Mironov, obviously with another ending due to his different attitude in general. It looks like the Russian players don't overly like the North American approach of "all is good, you're good, and bla bla" and prefer a more direct approach.

Maybe an issue with Sergei, is that he is a more free wheeling, creative, skill player and the Canes coaching staff wants him to play a more structured game. That may make him a better player (or may not), but he may view it as an approach that doesn't allow his strength to show through.

Aho!
Call Tolchinsky up lets see what the kid has.

Or call-up the guys that are more deserving to be called up based on merit?
It's not just ST that seems to be confused about what they need to do or the plans of the club. Gauthier also expressed some similar frustrations at communications about play and ice time this year. I'm not saying that either deserves time with the Canes, but I think both seem confused about their roles and what is expected of them.

Meh
Or let's play Ryan, Stempniak and Nordy, as they are true world beaters.

There are a lot of prospects I’d call up before Tolchinsky.
