Friedman: Vadim Shipachyov given permission to seek a trade

[AppsSyl]

VGK ****ed it up. I have a hard time believing that they have 12 forwards better than Shipachyov.

Agreed.

Through 3 games stat wise he looks fine, and that is with between 10 and 11 minutes TOI per game. Love the face off % as well. I really think whoever scoops him up, as long as the price isn't too high is going to be pretty happy.

Arizona could sure use him. Would not want to give up much for him though.

 

[PensandCaps]

Only if you believe that the only way to construct a hockey team is the way it was done in Sega's NHL '94.

Right. Why can't you have 4 scoring lines? Pens have showed this the past two years...winning with 4 scoring lines.

Bozak straight up

 

[SoundAndFury]

Goal scoring winger vs playmaking center with defensive responsibilities. Dadonov mostly can play the same game he already was playing, he fast and create offense - as well as the already mentioned fact he's played here before.

Or they could just move him to the wing seeing as he's in over his head at this point, you know.

 

[Pierre Lebrun]

Really surprised the Habs passed on this already (according to Engels). Need a center in the worst way.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Again, it's pretty clear Ship is NHL talent, is he an NHL center is another question. Not only the game is more difficult for the centers in general he doesn't speak English so it's hard to even explain to him what do you (as a coach) want.

Apparently he has been suspended by VGK for not attending an AHL game.

That is a good point, NHL team's idea of top 6/bottom 6 is evolving.

Still, Shipachyov's game is such that he needs to play with finishers.

Source?

Dude is making millions and won't even go to the AHL. I get it. It would suck, but come on. I would literally pump septic fields through a straw every day 8 hours a day for 4.5 million a year. This guy won't even play hockey in the AHL for that.

If have to think if this is true this is the last we see of ship. He will terminate his contract and bolt back to Russia.

You wouldn't do that if you had already spent the past decade earning millions doing something you loved.... 4.5 million changes your life drastically, not Shipachyov's.

suspended now

something has gone very wrong

I'm trying to get this straight, so please correct me if I'm wrong on these points:

1. As long as he's under contract with Vegas, he cannot go back to the KHL because of some mutual agreement where the NHL and KHL contracts do not conflict with one another. His rights are owned by Vegas, so he can't go back to SKA or whatever.

2. If his contract is terminated by Vegas, he is a FA and can go wherever and sign where he wants.

3. If Vegas decides to suspend him (like they have), it becomes a Drouin in TB situation and McPhee doesn't have to do anything but wait for the offers to come in (if any) and decide what he wants to do with Ship.

Am I missing anything here?

(Perhaps that McPhee is the worst GM in the league in making personnel decisions and not owning up to his mistakes...??)

 

[SotasicA]

There is no contract between NHL and KHL. So #1 is wrong

 

[Fazkovsky]

Habs should be in this

 

[AppsSyl]

Habs should be in this

They already said they aren't, but you are right, they definitely should be.

All the Russian players are gone except Galchenyuk.

I believe there is an agreement in place covering players with contracts and that each league respects the contract

they keep extending it by one year

Well I guess that’s the last European FA in LV for a while

didn't you hear MB's press conference?

the answer to our problems is in our dressing room, we don't need any other players, we are good as we are

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Why? GMGM signed a lot of Euros during his time as GM of the Caps. He's an imbecile but he has nothing against Europeans.
