News: NHL players to KHL in 2018 offseason

[WhatTheDuck]

This one surprise me. Dinamo Minsk isnt high on the rankings.

Bennett, Wiercioch and Pulkkinen are all nice additions for them.

 

[Milos Krasic]

Avangard is playing in Moscow this year. Travel will be hell but also Moscow is a better destination for North Americans.

 

[Leafs87]

Wonder if the leafs knew of Soshnikov and Valievs intentions before trading them

 

[RobRayzor]

Such a cryptic message. Where?!?

That tweet indicated that he hung up the skates and joined the "media team" either as a photographer or interviewer or smth
I was very confused

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Kinda of a misleading title...."NHLers to the KHL". But a well prepared list.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Wonder if the leafs knew of Soshnikov and Valievs intentions before trading them

I don’t think sosh actually ended up leaving

 

[Caser]

Apparently Lokomotiv management were pretty quickly dissapointed by Desharnais and he will move to Avangard.

Btw, also SKA were very quick to trade Dyblenko to Spartak.

 

[caley]

I don’t think sosh actually ended up leaving

Not did Valiev. Both re-signed to NHL deals

 

[vorky]

Éric Gélinas ---> Slovan

 

[Caser]

Reportedly Versteeg is not signing with Avangard though, his wife didn't want to go there.

 

[A91]

I wonder how much Yakupov gets paid in the KHL?

 

[Caser]

Tolchinsky signed a 1-year deal with CSKA.

 

[vandymeer13]

sucks pedan and yvenko are gone. Two tough dmen who should be on some nhl teams bottom pairings

 

[vorky]

Kris Versteeg ---> Avangard

 

[Kshahdoo]

Emelin to Avangard

 

[MMC]

 

[Mr Tadakichi]

Surprised no one took Desharnais. He seems like a good 4th line option.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Thats a long list

Not good players but its still a long list

 

[vorky]

That is not true. He did not sign 2-y deal.

 

[Kshahdoo]

That is not true. He did not sign 2-y deal.

Yeah, it's 3-year deal.

 

[Atas2000]

Kinda of a misleading title...."NHLers to the KHL". But a well prepared list.

Every player witha NHL contract is techncally a NHLer.

 

[Atas2000]

Avangard is playing in Moscow this year. Travel will be hell but also Moscow is a better destination for North Americans.

Not in Moscow, in Balashikha. It's a Moscow suburb, but due to size of Moscow and traffic it is not exactly the same as being in Moscow.

 

[Atas2000]

Emelin to Avangard

He will find Medvedev there. Good fit. I wonder if Yemelin's style still works in the KHL.

 

[Atas2000]

sucks pedan and yvenko are gone. Two tough dmen who should be on some nhl teams bottom pairings

Good to hear I hope Pedan is not totally useless and not just a big body.

 

[Atas2000]

I wonder how much Yakupov gets paid in the KHL?

Why? It isn't much, that I can tell you. He's no Kovalchuk. He might become a good fit though and get a significant raise.
