Based on that interview....
-Issues with communicating (English being a second language might contribute)
-Does not have good relationship with coach
-Does not have support from fellow players (Regarding communication on how to deal w/the situation)
-Wants to help team
-Wants to win
He doesn't seem like a problem player to me. Seems like he has issues communicating with the team and with the players. I'd definitely side with Nail on any Nail vs. Oilers issues. Put him in a good environment and these "issues" dissolve into nothing. He'll be happy to win again and his skills will be utilized properly.
Bring him to MTL. We've got:
-Russian players
-A coach and GM who are good with players
-Players he is familiar with and a strong leadership group
-A need for goalscoring skill in our top-6
-A core set to take it to the next level
