Compte tenu de tout le chiffre d’affaires auquel nous pouvons nous attendre cet été, cela constituerait un développement potentiellement énorme pour l’équipe pour l’année prochaine. L’enfant est la vraie affaire.

if only Orlov could be traded that would be perfection
It’s stuff like this that should help folks calm down and not press the panic button on next season.
I think there’s more internal, cheap solutions than folks are crediting. Filling out the bottom (or in this case higher) parts of the roster with cheap controllable talent does nothing but free up cap to tackle the rest of the roster. If Nikishin comes over, that absolutely makes the offseason job significantly easier.
Bust out the check book Tom, Donnys going shopping!
Raleigh quickly becoming New Moscow

I always figured it would be the 25-26 season, but next year certainly would be a welcome development.
Media has been wanting us to fall apart so bad, meanwhile Donny is cookin😮💨🔥😮💨
Him coming over would radically change the off-season plans for the defense. Interesting.
Ok trade Anderson for him
I doubt it happens for next year, based on how conversations have gone in the past. I’ve viewed Orlov as our bridge to him – but it would be a pleasant surprise to start things 1 year earlier.
Slavin – Burns
Nikishin – Morrow
Orlov – Chatty
Honestly I’m more interested in what happens on the blue line since the right side is also a clusterfuck. Don’t think Burns is a number 1 so I think we will see more moves. Wouldn’t mind the third and second swapping either since chatty and Orlov were super solid.
If we commit to these two rookies we may be able to save money for our forwards.
He would need a release from his KHL contract since there’s no way to buy him out due to sanctions (I also don’t think NHL teams could buy out Russian players previously, but not 100% sure on that – there was no agreement in place between NHL/KHL but I can’t remember if that precluded clubs making individual deals.)
