Has there been any news on Jameson WIlliams coming back?

Ah I saw the KHL hashtag in the top tweet and just went with that! I also apparently never sent the below post earlier in the week or this weekend I don't even recall lol

So Buch is looking good in the KHL

I had to work during the game but it was nice to see the team not fold after some adversity and steal a point!

Dang that sucks, hopefully everything is alright with him.

Filip Zadina come on down... Vrana didn't take the morning skate either I wonder if he's going to be out tonight

He's probably really upset he took a shot in the arm at the very least

I haven't seen it decided anywhere either. I assumed Ned was the "1" based on the preseason schedule, I'm guessing with the back to back Lalonde is preaching that neither is the starter since both would play no matter what.

He just scored his first goal 🙂

Wings are buzzin! It is nice to see a roster with NHL talent up and down the whole thing.

I'm so glad the Wings are back, really hoping for a good game here.

Looks like they are sending Cossa to Toledo. I'm a little surprised but the Griffins should have a solid team so I guess they would rather him start a bunch in Toledo than split time with a vet in the AHL.

It definitely isn't a plus. It sounds like both he and Suter will be in the lineup next game based on Lalonde's comments.

That is a really tall line 3

Looks like our lineup for night 1 against the Habs who had a nice win against Toronto last night

To me, Putin/Russia says a lot of stuff that is posturing. In the end I think that they have too much pride and want to show off their players at the NHL level. He has to be over the moon that Overchkin is in position to break Gretzky's record. My complete guess is that they'll continue to let players who play nice with the Russian system to do their thing. Buch played a little with the Russian team for his age group so my guess is he'd be looked on favorably right now. In the end this is all just complete guesses from me while bored on a work call. SKA is also Putin's favorite team I think so maybe he doesn't want to lose one of their potential stars and I'm wrong haha.

I think buddha is right in that no one really knows. He probably needs a season or two over there anyways. I would err on the side of there not being issues outside of a contract if he wants to go to the NHL because it seems like Russia opts to cater to athletes more so than not in my opinion. I also have no idea what his contract with SKA is like. If he doesn't say anything against Putin/the government I imagine he will be able to do as he pleases but I'm no expert!

This is like the ECHL equivalent I guess? He played a game in the VHL below the KHL and got an assist, then went down to the MHL below that (VHL had a few off days) and he put up 5 points in his first game there. I kinda love that SKA is moving him around so he just keeps playing. Have to think he's building confidence too. Exciting stuff so far.

He added an assist in this game as well

Ya it seems like Veleno dominates the AHL a bit when he goes down so it is time to figure out if he's a NHLer or just a AAAA guy like Hirose.

I guess Sunny is skating now I thought he was out for a bit for some reason
