maybe the best foreigner signing so far in khl this season.

6-1! 6-1!

Arturs Kulda is rumoured to NHL.

This seems strange after "medical reasons" or something like that was the official reason for the termination of his contract. Also looking at the NHL UFA market it would seem extremely unlikely it's the right time to get a one way contract there for a player who has proven absolutely nothing in his career.

Veli-Matti Savinainen has signed a two year deal with Taparra.

Carter Ashton will do well in the KHL, I think. He was a guy who was on the cusp of being an NHL'er, but he's been dealing with injuries. Torpedo is putting together a pretty good team this year, despite losing Wolski.

What happened to Indrasis going to the Islanders?

What happened to Indrasis going to the Islanders?

I'm fairly skeptical regarding Ashton, never really a good scorer, limited tools, can't really see power forward like himself working out all that great in the KHL.

Indrasis never said he is going to the Islanders since it would mean he has to sign an ELC and play in the AHL for pennies. Why would he do that, really? Alternatively, it might be he just had an invite for a try-out in some kind of camp (he already participated in Blackhawks rookie camp 2 years ago) which again, why would he do that.

Anyone know what happened to Stan Zhmakin? Is he retired?

For anyone who forgot of him

 

[SoundAndFury]

Zhmakin never retired officially but he probably is. Got seriously hurt at the beginning of 13/14 season and that was pretty much it. He was in Kuznya's camp last year but they decided not to sign him and when Kuznya doesn't sign you that's as good of a sign your KHL days are over as any. And he probably simply didn't want to play in the VHL.

 

[Finnpin]

What teams still need centers? Olli Jokinen might be available. NHL is over for him but would do still fine in KHL.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Out of the teams that can afford him probably only CSKA. Wouldn't seem like CSKA kind of signing though, I'd guess he will end up in NLA or Finland.

His comments last year indicate that he's pretty much set on living in Florida/Miami when his career is done so I doubt he's coming to Europe. From what I remember reading, he's not exactly a fan of the European style of heavy puck possession.
