I confirm -its not easy ;-) .
Team Russia was embarassed in Vancouver pretty badly. I am thinking (and I am hoping) that we will see a different outcome in Sochi. And something tells me that Kuznetsov decision to stay was mostly impacted by his prospects of playing for team Russia in 2014. All this is great, but how does it help me as a Caps fan?

There are a lot of reasons to leave– but the biggest is this: the NHL is the world’s premiere hockey league. Better competition, larger renown, more spectacle.

The KHL may pay more, but it also has talent of a lower quality, corruption, and safety problems.

Obviously that doesn’t factor in friends and family and the Olympics and everything else. I’m just saying that the a priori appeal of the NHL is high.

I live in the UK, and i don’t know that i could uproot and leave everything i’d ever known behind. And i’m assuming the UK is a lot more comparable to the US than Russia ever will be.

If they’re going to pay him a good wage, why would he move? Unless he actively wants to seek out a new lifestyle, which apparently he doesn’t.

Everyone matures at a different rate. If the man says he is not ready, it’s his call. He lives in his body and knows what he feels.

Johansson had only Nicky Backstrom from his home land here….Kuznetsov would have Ovechkin and Orlov plus #28 if he stays. I call shenanigans….his price isnt going to grow for a rookie deal when he gets here…So if he signs at 22 yr old he will be 25/26 yr old when he gets real money. This isnt a good thing. KHL can keep splashing him with Cash and renewing his deal at a higher dollar amount. SMDH It was cute the 1st two years but now its time to get on
with it.
