Doesn't make a big difference to me. I'd rather not burn a year of his ELC, going to need it with all the cap problems.

I guess as long as he doesn't get into 9 games it wouldn't

At this point though, the situation isn't a for sure in any which way.

Nothing is set in stone right now, but for him to come over would require some MAJOR hoop jumping from him/the Canucks through multiple organizations.. and like you said, it wouldn't really impact the team in any major way (he couldn't play in the playoffs if they make it) and hurts the team in the long run, so why bother?

I didn't say he couldn't play in the playoffs. I don't know why he wouldn't be able to as others have stated. Makar did it years ago.

I don't know the rules of his eligibility though. Lots seem to interrupt it differently it seems.

The NHL Rules
To play in the NHL playoffs, a player must be on the NHL roster by the deadline (to clarify, not the 23-man active roster, here, but the 50-man roster of players under NHL contract who are in the NHL or loaned elsewhere). The only exception to this is the case of players on the reserve list (mostly unsigned drafted players) who are playing in Europe or the NCAA. Occasionally they will sign an ELC and play on the NHL team in the playoffs after their season is over.

Does that count for the KHL?

Either way, I'd give him getting out of all his contracts before they're up less odds than the Canucks currently have of making the playoffs

Speaking of other KHL players for the Canucks. According to elite Dmitri Zhukenov contract has also expired and his KHL and VHL teams have both been eliminated.

I would still like to see what he could do in the AHL. He's only 23 and was playing in the 2nd best league in the world.

Odds are better for him next season. I don’t see him making a split squad let alone getting in any playing time.

I was kinda hoping you were DannyBomber. The guy is hilarious. I still chuckle over his post in Ek's thread about meeting an NHL player. I think it was Orland Kurtenbach. Gold.

I'm not sure what kind of conclusion you came to from what I said so I will expand. I'm wanting a 23 year .5 ppg player from the 2nd best league in the world come over and get AHL time in a water down AHL league this season.

You came up with a camp split squad situation?

I know what you think of the KHL, just look at how bad Kirill Kaprizov is doing after coming from the "beer league" as you refer it too

3 game parlays are not good value. Try 2.

It's a 3 game minimum which is ok. The pick 4's are very tough as usually one game goes to OT and get screwed.

I'm debating on throwing in a mtl-van tie and a $5 sports select is $400 or something

I won $260 from $5 on Monday from 5 games.

I'm feeling lucky again.

That's bullsh*t. Get a Bet365 account, they match your first deposit up to $50 I believe. Great mobile app, you can bet on anything.
