So much for him staying in Russia, looks pretty much positive that he will be in the NHL next season. Lucky for Colorado who I think took him here in our league.
His lawyer recently said there may be a DELAY. It seems the ol' Russian team could file an injunction to postpone his NHL career UNTIL the court case is heard. Unlike the Ovechkin case, Malkin doesn't have the same out. Will his two-weeks notice be enough?
I suspect Malkin will make his NHL debut midseason, too late to win the Calder, but with amazing performances maybe enough to become a finalist.
I am going to say that he'll play the whole year. Superstars always get free passes in life. Look at Dany Heatley when he killed someone driving his ferrari... I mean he got a free pass almost by not going to jail. Stuff like that.
your an ass buddy you dont think heatley lives with the guilt of ACCIDENTLY getting in a car crash almost losing his own life and taking the life of his friend is getting a free pass??? Snyders family didnt press charges because they knew it was an accident. show some class bud

I see your point. But I'm more cynical: LAWYERS chasing money, in this case, the Russian club's lawyers, will use the full extent of the law to aid them in their quest for greenbacks.

Obviously talking about someones death is a touchy subject by I dont feel I was at all disrespectful to Dan Snyder. Maybe it was a bad example, heres another, Todd Bertuzzi... enough said.
Todd Bertuzzi what? I think the Heatley example is way better. Many people have been convicted of manslaughter for driving like a moron and killing someone. I have seen 50 worse hits with fists and sticks than the Bertuzzi one. Major differrence is that Steve Moore has a paperthin skull.
I am sick of the hypocrtical crap from people that can't handle body contact and fighting in hockey.
haha hypocrytical... All I said was that athletes, superstars, famous people, whatever, seem to get treatment different than that of the regular joe when they do something wrong...
I won't argue that. But comparing what happened in the flow of a hockey game with Bertuzzi to something that happens outside (such as hockey players getting easy visas, or someone killing another person with wreckless driving) is not even in the same ballpark.
