Shipachyov? What gives??

[BruinDust]

If you look through the player lists on NHL.com you'll find all sorts of examples that contradict this. For example, Anton Krysanov, age 30, drafted in 2005, is still listed with Arizona holding his rights. He never signed an SPC or played in the NHL. Another one: Sergei Gayduchenko, drafted 2007 by Florida.

Maxim Chudinov, drafted by the Bruins in 2010, is no longer their property.

Go to the Bruins team page and look under Europe Prospects, he's no longer listed, despite the fact if you Google him, you can find his NHL.com page with a Bruins logo.

This site even states he's formerly property of the Bruins.

If they are drafted but never come over and sign a SPC, eventually they are no longer property of that club.

As you note, NHL.com still lists Chudinov as belonging to the Bruins.

The CBA defines a process where "Defected Players" can become UFA's. But they don't automatically become UFA's just by virtue of reaching age 27.

I think Vegas should just part ways and accept a loss. Package Ship + Gusev together and get a solid return/prospect/picks back.

I prefer they demote him and he gets his game together. Then we have another centerman who can dish it on a first or second line.

Now, if he's been difficult to coach or otherwise a problem in the locker room, that would change things. But I haven't heard anything like that yet.

The best thing he could do is go tear up the AHL for a couple weeks, but it sounds like he doesn't want to go there.

If anyone in the Vegas area can answer this, I’d really appreciate it. I’m looking for a Vadim Shirsey. Are they made to anyone’s knowledge??

 

[Old Gregg]

Well Garrison & Reinhart on waivers...

 

[FinRanger]

Problems adapting to NHL game... No wonder if he plays 10 minute a night. And making conclusions after 3 games. Laughable decisions by the coach.

I think all the shirseys are custom if you order online, so it should be possible.

I don’t know that Adidas makes a real shirsey though, they’ve all got the weird vertical name thing going.

"Shirseys" (which I'll define as a t-shirt with player name/# on back) are standard merchandise that teams/league sells. Usually only the more popular players are available.

You might try calling The Arsenal or The Battery (the two team stores at T-Mobile and City National Arenas, respectively) to see what they have.

I tried calling the arsenal but both times I got no answer. I’ll try again tonight on my home from work. Sadly I live on the east coast so that’s why I was hoping someone from the area would have any idea if they were being produced. But thanks everyone !

 

[LadyStanley]

There's a game this afternoon


You might have better luck contacting Battery as they have regular hours. The Arsenal may only be open for games.

 

[BattleBorn]

It's the Arsenal and Armory.

Don't call the battery unless you can't start your car.

That's what happens when your GM is nuts and is known to send Russians to AHL "to f*** with them." on actual quote. He did the same in Washington. The question is why the franchise even signed Shipachyov in the first place.

 

[Soundgarden]

I posted this in another thread, but thought it sums up some thought on the situation.

I think two factors here is that Ship came over and knows almost no English, with no other Russians on the team I'm sure it's quite hard on him to come over and adapt to everything; new coach, line mates, ice size, tactics, etc. On the other side of the coin, it may be hard for Gallant to communicate too and thus he prefers playing players he's more comfortable with even if they aren't as skilled.

Factor number two to keep in mind is that, despite this team being 8-1 it's still an expansion team, the coaching staff has to evaluate 30 some odd players in just a couple weeks. Of course the first thing people say is, "why don't they just waive Hunt" or "GMGM is such a moron, waive Sbisa", but those guys have actually played really well for Vegas when they got their chance. Sure a guy like Reinhart looks like a bust, and he may end up being a bust, but if their coaching staff thinks he's fixable it's something they have to look into or they aren't doing their jobs.

It's a really unfortunate situation that may not have happened had this not been Vegas' first season, IMO.

To **** with him.
