Kids a big boy. Hes a man already. Scored 30 goals in KHL last year. Hopefully isles catch lightning in a bottle. Low risk signing

 

[Taswell]

Couple of teams were seemingly interested, Montreal being the one I heard the most. Can't hurt to give em a shot.

Low risk potentially some reward, shot alone should help the PP

 

[Namikaze Minato]

Good free wallet signing with upside.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Damn wanted him with the Habs congrats Isles

That’s how these always are. No risk, only upside.

 

[General Fanager]

minimal risk with big boom potential...Nice for The Isles

Montreal could’ve been working on bringing Michkov over right about now

Sure, if you don't understand how contracts work.

What's that? You're just trolling Montreal (again) because they hurt your feelings by not drafting Michkov? Carry on.

I'm curious to see how Roy uses him next year. He'd be a solid fit on either of the top 2 lines.

That’s a little high expectations. Not saying he can’t but he’s a safer bet to be a bottom 6.

I just want as many options as possible so we don't start the season like we did last year with Barzal suffering with his RW.

More likely working on a trade to move him to the one team he wants to go to, because he won't come to MTL.

Asleep at the Wheel as usual Tre and Shanny.

He went to the Islanders who are going nowhere. Doesn't care about winning. Don't want him.

In fairness a water gun would help the Isles PP.

Tsyplakov. Now that's a name that I haven't heard in a long time. I thought that he might be Vladimir's son, but I can't find anything to corroborate that, so I guess that they're unrelated.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that one. No relation to Vladimir but a Viktor is his grandfather. Elite Prospects has his grandfather playing in Russia from the 50s-70s.

 

[JTToilinginToronto]

No risk, some reward potential. So it's fine.

Anyone here have a scouting report on this guy?

 

[seafoam]

What the frick is Lou doing!?!

What the frick is Lou doing!?!

He signed a coveted European FA to an entry level contract.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Another Sekac or Shipachev. Back in tje KHL soon enough.

 

[Kshahdoo]

More likely working on a trade to move him to the one team he wants to go to, because he won't come to MTL.

Imagine the return, though...

That doesn’t sound like a good GM.
