He was almost assured a spot in the NHL. I wish the Jackets signed him and gave him a chance to make the club, and if he didn't they could send him back to KHL. It would have been a win win for everyone, that is if he wanted to play in the NHL. I guess we'll see in 2 years.

Wow that sucks. As an isles fan I wanted the isles draft him. Hes a Travis Hamonic clone as far as his game goes.

I don't understand this.
The Olympics has little glory without the top players. Obviously not a bad thing to participate in, but bigger than winning the Stanley Cup? Not even close.
And this is a guy who is good, he would've went over to the NHL, and stuck in an NHL lineup for an up and coming team.

It's 'Olympics + good money + probable KHL championship + NHL after 2 years (when he hopefully will be even more ready)' Vs. 'NHL now (not without a chance to spend some time in a press box) + ELC money'.
And yes, the Olympics are still the Olympics, even the 1992 champions representing that strange CIS team are still the Olympic champions.

Assuming he has success in SKA, I don't see why he would leave them for an ELC. He will get even more money thrown at him in 2 years as a better player.
I hope I'm wrong, but I thought he was coming over this year so.

Well, it depends on what he wants, look at guys like Shipachyov, Mironov, Antipin etc., they also could make a better money in KHL than they got now.
The KHL is gonna fight SKA and CSKA and their unlimited budgets, so the league is gonna implement a hard salary cap like in the NHL (right now it's a soft one, like in the NBA with much softer penalties for going above), and the cap will go down.
I doubt a lot of KHL stars will stay in the league in 2-3 years.

Star players will have no problem to get their money or more after reforms. Average and worse players will have serious problem, but they wont go to NA.

Sucks that he isn't coming over now, but Columbus has plenty of options on the blueline. Gavrikov can slot in seamlessly in a couple seasons once we've (likely) moved on from Johnson and Murray.

That's a damn good D group in 2 years.

Won the Olympic gold, 2G+1A in the tournament and I'd say he was one of the best defenseman out there.
Yeah, the best defensive defenseman Russian has outside the NHL. And he's just 22.
