Nichushkin to KHL

Very true.... but Drouin did not go over seas to play in Russia and then get sent down to a lower league.

But he did get sent down to a lower league.

Yes he did.... but Nichuskin got sent two 2 lower leagues. KHL... then VHL... so thats equivalent to Drouin to AHL to ECHL...

Ugh. Well, that sucks.
Best thing for him would be AHL at this point. And by "for him" I mean "for me" because it might make him trade-able.

[Mr. Guru]

From my understanding this is Russia's second best league, no?

Only if he will agree to go the AHL Stars, even then sounds iffy. Aivis had a later tweet that very much suggests attitude issues, not something Jim Nill will tolerate in his team culture. Here is said tweet...

"I'll make things short regarding Nichuskin - He should keep his mouth where his stick is."

Yea. 2 things about that. First, that's like a top 20 all time worst tweet. Secondly, apparently it was relating to Nichu saying he could replace Radulov's production easily. To be fair, it sounds like CSKA has had some pretty unrealistic expectations for the 24 year old.

Just saw tweets debunking this whole thing. Here's an article:
