Recalled/Assigned: Ivan Telegin fails to report to IceCaps (UPD: rights acquired by CSKA Moscow)

[Gnova]

Pure speculation at this point but a death of and heading home without informing work is forgivable. Grief for sure trumps work obligations for a period of time; far from idiocy.

But at this point who knows why he went home for sure; I doubt strongly the Jets would suspend someone attending funerals ; that would be the dick move.

I was posting a extreme example basically showing that we don't know the scenario.

I stand by my statement that a team mate should never call out another team mate in social media.
If O'Dell wanted a answer he should have called and asked, or better still asked his employer.

The only way this ends up being a big deal is if he decides to retire.

I will reserve judgement until I hear about the "personal reasons". You have no idea how much I want to add to this post right now...

Kinda sad how some people want to judge a guy for a personal decision like this while knowing nothing behind the decision. That takes quite some ignorance. Who are some of you to judge someone through a message board the way you do? Just sad...

If he's done with hockey in North America, so be it. That concussion might have ruined any shot he had at the NHL anyways. Kept him out for quite awhile. But who knows. He's not a top end prospect and we'll eventually replace him anyways soon enough if he's gone.

Someone being judged on the internet? Oh the humanity, my eyes my eyes (fans self)

Sun is reporting that he went home and is looking for a place to play in Russia, suspended by the Jets.

Well if this is in-fact the case he wont be able to play for anyone in Russia due to the MOU between the NHL and KHL. The only way is if the Jets agree to terminate his contract.

Weird... one of my friends from WFP said they heard nothing.
That was like 4 hrs ago, so lots could have changed.

He still has 2 years left on his contract. We'll have to see how this plays out. Things may be getting blown out of proportion and he will be returning to the Rock once personal matters are dealt with.

I like how some are speculating one thing... then when another party speculates something else, the first party group is saying well how do you know for sure....

Beat me to it

I trust you more then some.... well, "others"..


And I stand by my original post.

 

[Snot Rocket]

Loads of wild speculation.
Wait until the story comes out in the wash before you get the hammer and nails out.

Could be anything...and in Russia, it really means could be anything...from legit family personal matter to the Russian MOB.

I'll take the wait and see approach.

Is Telegin even good enough for the KHL? He couldn't do much in the AHL and his correct level is probably the ECHL if wasn't for his draft position.

He can always "retire" from the NHL can't he?

 

[LadyJet26]

Never draft Russians.

There I said it.


Seriously though I hope all is well with him. It could be family related and everyone is getting wound up about it.

If he is seriously worried about concussions I wouldn't be overly upset if the Jets gave him permission to p,at in the less physical KHL in order for him to get his game back on track.

This. Except if it's Evgeni Malkin or Datsyuk. Malkin loves being Russian, but he loves being a Penguin and had to pretty much run away from the KHL in order to come play in the NHL. If you're a Russian with a limited skill set you pretty much are better off staying in the motherland.

Nope.
That only worked for Kovy because the Devils let him out of his contract.
Long term the Devils were thrilled he retired.

Can't imagine the Jets would let him out of his contract.

"Personal decision" is an offer from a KHL team...

Let it go guys... In 5 years there will be 5 ovechkins and 10 selannes playing in the NHL, other will be earning their buck in the KHL.

Can't be an offer from KHL team as he can't play in the KHL...

They aren't going to tear the MOU over Telegin if they didn't do it for Visnovsky...

Can't happen: he's under contract to the Jets. The Jets would have to waive his rights, or as garret states, the KHL would have to tear up the MOU on honouring contracts between the two leagues.

For some reason, I don't see Telegin being worthy of such a move.

I dunno he's pretty fast...

 

[Den]

They will eather make a deal with the KHL team along the lines "it would be better for his development", or ..... he will simply retire from the NHL/AHL

 

[Positive]

My guess is he got discouraged and figured it wasn't worth sticking around in North America for $65k a year and that he wouldn't make the big leagues anytime soon for the $600k a year. At 21, seems he's given up on an NHL career.

But we don't really know.

I'm sure they care so much when they can make as much or more doing something they love in their home country instead of being 1,000s of miles away from home in a place that you don't even speak the same language. Yeah, they really care that much.

Why all the sympathy in your last couple of posts? He walked out on his employer and apparently left the country without notice, while on contract, and all indications are that he wasn't being mistreated in any way to justify it.

Causing holes and headaches for our organization.

That's a d**k move by any employee, in just about any job.
