If you knew anything about Yak you would know he is committed to living, and playing in North America. And just because Kovy left for Russia, should we expect tarasenko and ovi and datsyuk all to be following? I'll repeat, Stupid question
Kovalev bolted to Russia at the end of his career. Tarasenko is having a career year. Ovi and Datsyuk are proven veterans. They are not 1st overall picks that have regressed since their rookie years. They are very different scenarios, and there's quite a few examples of players leaving. In any event, your position is clear and it seems unanimous thus far that there's no chance he bolts, which answers my initial question.
So thanks.
