Shoulda got one game in
Shumakov played with Zaitsev and Ozhiganov for CSKA and TOR have been one of the most aggressive teams in signing Euro and Russian free agents
I'm sorry that TOR potentially signing a player makes you so offended.
I legitimatley laughed. I've had a serious case of the monday's today, so I appreciate it.

I was going to make some smarmy retort, but thought better of it.
I laughed as I wrote it. Glad you saw it the same
There appears to be a CONE OF SILENCE surrounding this information.
We need a come to Besiktas style campaign for the Oilers.
Anyways, come to Edmonton!
We have the worst top6 wing depth in the league! Next to McDavid or Draisaitl!

I wouldn’t mind Dallas giving him a shot. Big hole on the second line left wing, played on the same team as Nichushkin and Radulov in the KHL. Would likely play with one of these guys and Spezza on a scoring line.

wouldn't surprise me if even after Lou's departure the leafs maintained a "cone of silence policy"

washington makes sense, they did just win the cup and have a solid Russian hockey connection, what with Ovie and Kuznetzov

The thing which really separates Shumakov from the pack is his fearlessness. For a pretty small guy he is relentless as hell.. Especially in those Sibir days when they had to do it all the hard way.. I think his skill is a bit overhyped here, it's like some posts were written by his agent ( 
), and his skating isn't grade-A but he is definitely skilled enough. If he doesn't get smashed to bits he will do fine..
Overall, I think how much he relied on his physicality is probably going to hurt him, at first at least, since life crashing the net isn't the easiest one in the NHL, if you are barely 6 feet tall especially.

I know right! Tavares is the only kid in the world who had his favorite team PJs. Man do they even make that stuff. A team blankie? No one would would even make that.
