this is late, but. Keep on writing! I miss Sasha and at least here I get to see news about him without the whole bashing/drama thing going on. Most of the time.

Semin is playing great for the Canes and the word you’ve heard isn’t reflected on the fanbase of HFBoards or LetsGoCanes (two of the larger Hurricanes communities).

I like when you cover the former Russian Caps, so more Semin and more Varly, please. Varly hangs out in Lancaster/Hershey every summer to make it easier for you. Hopefully Orlov is back from injury soon so you can cover him more, too. Also, I don’t get that situation with Kostenko, why they loaned him to another ECHL team but it might not be for the rest of the season. Any interest in covering the baby Russian goalie?

Keep em coming. A lot of Sasha loyalists out there….they’re just too enigmatic to reply.

Hardly second line. First line talent and always has been even when a Cap. Canes seem pretty happy with him. Muller said he probably is the best playmaker on the team, which too many have under-appreciated. He has the same number/minutes of minor penalties as both Staals. It has not been a big deal at all. So refreshing. As much as I miss him here, thank God he is out of this mess.

When you guys do the end-of-season player ratings you should still use the angry Sasha/happy Sasha rating scale haha.

I think there’s a bit of truth to both of these statements. He had a solid game tonight. I think overall he is worth at the most 3.5-4 mil. a season when you factor the ups and downsides of his play. Still a solid 2nd line player.
