Yeah, I get it, still (frank)ed up that it wasn't a problem until he signed his ELC, which doesn't mean anything; the Flyers said they hoped he be in NA this coming season, but that's hardly a ringing endorsement.

Poltapov also plays for them, will that be a problem when/if he tries to come over?

Thats certainly a sticky wicket for GMKA to navigate when it comes to Polts (Poltsie? Polter?).

STOP BEING SO NEGATIVE

Sounds like it tbh

Yurov seems destined to the Sabres at 16 in alot of these mocks. The Russians F'ng with Fodorov (sp) the Philly G yesterday probably is causing a team or two to think hard about taking a Rusky early on.

Snag Yurov, move up to grab Miro in early 20's ...and pick Nazar at 9 if Savoie is gone

Miro - Nazar - Yurov

More added risk on these guys this year. Are they steals at those draft spots or just your preferred players. I like it if yurov is a top 5 guy and he’s falling to 16. If he’s like the 14th best dude, I rather just pass him up for the next guy, with less risk and can be just as good. Same with Miro, and he has more risk with health

leave the country, renounce their citizenship

It isn't that easy, as family left behind will be targets.
The threat is real.

The easy one first; Miro was originally a 4-7 on several public draft analyst lists much earlier in the season, so early 20's now is steal, IMO. Some mock drafts had him in the teens after the medical clearance and before the most recent issue with Fodotov trying to leave Russia.

Yurov was mocked at 8 - 10 in many...then has been falling into the teens as a result of the Russian Factor. Some now have him going around ,13th.

Keep in mind, these mocks are all over the board after the 1st 8 or 9. So it is hard to really gage

These kids could be 2- 3-4 years away, could be a whole different situation by then.

Pittsburgh would be crazy if they give any kind of term to Letang or Malkin. Way past best by date.

Hopefully your talking the player's age, cause if your talking me your off by 20yrs, but I will gear up just need a Oxygen machine in the corner for whistles and a bottle of Jack in the water holder for pain and a bubbler for in-between periods. Oh and you might want to have a Ambulance on stand-by.
