It's been said by CSKA-affiliated people that Fedotov didn't want to come over. All the player himself has said publicly is that he just wants to play hockey at this point, wherever that is. He also didn't deny that CSKA management was behind his arrest and conscription. Instead, he said "it doesn't matter who was behind it."

Realistically, CSKA was the path of least resistance after all Fedotov went through last year and given the fact that he missed a full year of hockey and wasn't able to properly train until the latter half of this summer following his military discharge.

Yes, Fedotov screwed up but it was just his desire to play hockey, anywhere that led to the decisions he made.

Actually, what you said was that he wouldn't be coming over for a very long time. At the time of that discussion taking place, there was no evidence that was true.

You denying it doesn’t mean the evidence wasn’t there.

You denying that there was no evidence doesn't mean it was there. You were challenged through the entire conversation to provide the evidence. You couldn't do it. Now of course we have more information now but that doesn't change the fact that at the time of the discussion, that evidence was not available.

Bill, lets say the Flyers wanted to pay off the KHL just to get Michkov over here. Are they allowed to ? Or do sanctions prevent that?

Did you guys even read what I wrote.

For fedotov I was told before there was no evidence that he wouldn’t be coming over lmao.

- Peter Richards



Yeah, you asked why doesnt he sign and come early. I answered because he has an existing contract.

Nothing wrong w/ MM getting assigned to HK Sochi again. He'll be the focal point of their offense and he will get minutes and opportunities that he wouldn't have gotten if he had stayed w/ SKA. He'll still be playing against KHL competition... there's really no downside.

Go back to page two. Was pointing out to someone else what the original question was. Also read the part where I stated wasn’t my question. Jesus.

I know some folks on here think Torts is bad, but that Babcock guy takes the cake. Before the season starts he calls his captain into his office and tells him to show the pics that he has on his phone so that he can get an idea of what kind of person he is? WTF! Babcock might get fired before he even coaches a game.

I don’t see a Babcock and Tortorella comparison. Babcock should be compared to Keenan. Two tyrants. Torts should be compared to Hitchcock. Hitchcock was all about puck possession, creating turnovers and taking advantage of mistakes. Hitchcock knew Modano had a broken wrist before Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. He phones Modano the night before getting him out of bed and not knowing if he’s playing saying, “ Mike what kind of game are we getting from you tomorrow”? Does Torts do that? Torts gives and takes away ice time based on his criteria. Did Hitchcock do that or did he just harangue players into submission?
