KHL Trades, Rumors and Free Agent Talk Part 6

[cska78]

Da Costa to Avto is now official

 

[MaxV]

Voinov joins Dinamo Mo. I really don't get this guy, he misses seasons like they are out of style....(I know he wants to play and live in NA, but there are wants, and there is reality...)

Interesting. He certainly was a very good player before "retirement".

 

[cska78]

Saw on telegram a list of all the notable (otherwise the list is humongous) prospects "stolen" by SKA recently it's outrageous

 

[ozo]

Stolen how?

 

[DivochLubo]

Stolen how?

By money?

 

[ozo]

By money?

Do you steal groceries at the store by paying for them?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Hynek Zohorna to IK Oskarshamn in SHL.

 

[cska78]

Do you steal groceries at the store by paying for them?

I would counter - if you go to a store and buy out all the groceries there for the money you got for nothing, including the ones that will go rotten in your fridge, because you don't need them or know how to cook them, while keeping the rest of the people in your town hungry, are you doing the right thing?

All that while the head of the grocery store is the same person who just gifted you these money to begin with and tailored the sale practices in that store (cashiers only serve you) to your wants.

 

[cska78]

Kovalenko to Ak Bars is now official.

 

[cska78]

Rumor is: Dansk, Kokhlachev and Lehteria will be playing in Spartak next year as a done deal.

 

[SoundAndFury]

After so many talks about "completely new team," this feels more like getting the old band together now. Import goalie also spelled trouble for them last year.

 

[rohky]

Is Liam Kirk good enough to play in the KHL?

 

[SoundAndFury]

Sure he is, he might be good enough to play in the top-6 for Admiral. But that tells more about KHL than it does about Kirk.

KHL isn't like the NHL where the fact that you are in the league tells something on its own. Plenty of mediocre ECHL-level players have been cycled through numerous KHL teams.

 

[Rigafan]

Is Liam Kirk good enough to play in the KHL?

He's good but he's far too small, he needs to bulk up because he will just get bullied otherwise.

Stop offending NT player Timkin

 

[MilesNewton]

Has Wideman signed?

Such as? Maybe some AHL players but the elite teams are looking for more

 

[SoundAndFury]

Has Wideman signed?

Nope.

Meanwhile, Loktionov traded to Amur. Any chance he actually ends up playing there?

 

[MilesNewton]

How many imports can a team carry?

 

[SoundAndFury]

Such as?

Pretty much every 4th liner from a team on the bottom side of the table.

How many imports can a team carry?

It can play 5 but carry I don't even know anymore. We definitely did see SKA carry 7. Also, non-Russian teams basically have no player limitations.

 

[vorky]

The Russian team can skate five foreigners in a game, but they can have as many foreigners as they want on season´s roster. As we know, Kazakhs & Belarussians are not considered as foreigners anymore. The Russian club can have maximum of one foreign goalie on season´s roster. Non-Russian clubs need to have at least 10 "home players" on season´s roster, so Jokerit needs to have 10 Finns. Read ГЛАВА 7. ЗАЯВКА КОМАНД КЛУБОВ

 

[cska78]

Looks like Vladimir Tkachyov is signing in LAK? Very questionable signing for them, but if it's low cost, then why not...

 

[ozo]

Well this seem entertaining:

 

[SoundAndFury]

Well I stand corrected about the whole Fedotov situation. Seems weird to me but ok. I'd say Dynamo are the biggest winners but funnily enough this makes every goalie on the WC team a backup option.

 

[rohky]

Backup goalie for Simon Hrubec? Or new number 1 for Omsk VHL team?
