Unfortunate. I had high hopes for Nizhnikov even though Barrie was willing to part with him after giving up, up to 11 picks if all conditions were met for his rights.

This kid looks promising.

He was the first overall pic in the under 18 priority draft this year by Sudbury. They did okay with the Serentis pic the year prior.

Apparently, late bloomer, he grew quite a bit from his draft year, he's 6'2" now, be nice to see if we can call him up for a few games if possible.
Nizhnikov Chooses to Return Home to Russia – Sudbury Wolves
Good young hockey player and person who was just homesick and in need of his family.
Rumors of any sort of dressing room feuds outside of what is normal in a dressing room are false.

Very true so lets just leave it their, no need to get specific on what lead to his decision.

Has anyone heard anything regarding UPL is leaving for the WJC’s? Is he here for any games this weekend or is he going to be out by then?
Luukkonen expected to leave Sudbury around Dec. 15, but no official word yet.
From Ben Leeson on Twitter.
BayOWolf do you think Shane will get exceptional status ? Would sure be nice if Clarke is around when the Wolves pick.

I thought I’d mention there’s a good interview with coach Stillman on this weeks’ Lace em up, the Eastlink hockey show (should be available on demand). Seems like a good guy. Had some good things to say about the players enjoying winning etc. What I found most interesting was when he was asked whether he thought Paps will make changes before the deadline he said “I could expect our team to be different after the deadline”. Certainly seems to indicate the team is considering it.

BayOWolf, have you seen him play? it would make sense I think with regarding McGrath. We also have option to draft another import goalie if need be, next season.

Would be nice to have UPL twice more but I'd be content if we let him go after he starts in Barrie on Thursday.
He's played a ton this year and frankly if he wants an extra day off before leaving to join team Finland, he more than deserves it.
He's played his rear end off for us and and personally I'd let him decide what he wants to do. These little player-friendly things we can do for those who deserve it are the kinds of things that get players like UPL & their agents to give us a good reference for future import players we try to sway to join the team.

Agree. For sure I wasnt expecting him Thursday so if he plays it’s a bonus.

He's a man playing in a boys league, he'll play both games before heading off to star for Finland. Then we get to watch the Luukkonen show frustrate Canada

Weeks has committed, guess we see him while Ukko is gone. Wanted to see Lemaire but this is very interesting as well.

Sounds like UPL will play both games this week. I'm sure he didn't want to miss Teddy Bear toss night!
Will be exciting to see Weeks get some game action. It's important the Wolves signed this kid now, as he was garnering lots of College interest.

We're likely to see Frappier as well. He's having a good year in French River

Anybody but Bowen, no offence to the kid but he's not at this level imo. Would love to see Frapps again and/or Weeks

I have a tough time leaving it there. What was Papineau thinking when he traded with for him in the first place? I guess that is his one mulligan. Those lost picks would be very valuable around this time you think? It has become a lot harder today to make a deal than yesterday with Krill leaving IMO.
