[Ryuji Yamazaki]

He any good?

Reportedly Detroit 2014 7th round pick Alexander Kadeykin is going to sign with the Red Wings probably be our 4C i would imagine.

He any good?

In my view Sergeyev has the following:

• he is good at D and physical
• very good at playing with a puckmover, who is pretty bad at D
• right-handed
• not much need to adjust to NA life and hockey, as he has been around before

So maybe there could be something good in the end, I had an impression Panthers are not that great at the D.

He can play at wing too, which might be useful since Stromwall is likely not coming.



In other rumors, suddenly Andrei Kareyev has been mentioned as someone, who could be thinking about the move to NA.

Is Stromwall not coming over now? Bummer was hoping we'd get him but oh well. Still possibly Brome or Handemark.

Strong rumors appeared recently that he doesn't want to wait until the time of uncertaincies is over and will likely spend one more year in the KHL.

And that's totally understandable, Really can't blame the guy with these uncertainties.

Niklas Jensen has decided to stay with Jokerit for another year (he had this option in his existing contract).

Alexei Krasikov has extended for 3 years with Sibir.

One of those cases when rumors are actually true, that's extremely rare for UFAs.

Montreal just signed Vasili Demchenko, a goalie from Metallurg Magnitogorsk

Obviously just stat watching, but is this not an odd signing given he has amongst the worst save percentage among khl goalies?

Apparently his team was horrible this year, and his previous 4 years his SV% was always .920+

Probably due to the Grigorenko situation it should be clarified that guys like Marchenko, Sergeyev and all the other guys, who had NHL contracts in the past, are eligible to sign only when the UFA market opens.

The Athletic: Sources: Russian free agent Artyom Zub commits to Senators

"While Zub has not yet signed with Ottawa, it is expected he will ink an entry-level NHL deal as soon as the first week of May, a source said. The 24-year-old defenceman’s KHL contract expires April 30. It is believed he will not make an official announcement about his future before then.

The sources cautioned that the deal is not yet finalized and that players can change their minds at the 11th hour, but added they would be surprised if Zub did not sign with the Senators."
