    Hadn't even heard this rumor and would have never been worried about it. He's Ameri-Russian. But an American citizen. I doubt he'd be keen to run to Russia

    Exactly. I would bet a lot of money that he will be back in Montreal next season and for many more. I guess the KHL has to put out these garbage rumours to staunch the flow of Russians BACK to the NHL! lol I read today that Burmistrov is coming back, I believe Sobotka is also looking to return and then there's Kovalchuk looking for an eventual return. Yeah, I could see how Galchenyuk would find playing in the KHL so much better than the NHL...NOT!

    I heard this nonsense earlier in the week and dismissed it as posturing. He's a RFA and the coach jerked him around a bit this year, hence his showing down the stretch and in the playoffs was sub par. This is his agent's way of saying, "it's your [the Habs] fault my guy under-produced so don't try to low-ball us on a contract." Then again, anything can happen. Nothing surprises me in pro sports these days. But if Galchenyuk bolts, Therrien better watch his back. Habs fans are cray cray and they're already blaming him for messing up the kid's head.

    Crazy rumour, but I don't see that happening. He probably put that rumour out there as a bargaining chip.
