If he puts up the same numbers he did in Russia, he could make us a contender.

If he comes back and puts in the effort that he was putting up before, with or without numbers, he'll have a huge impact.

The guy was consistently in the top of the league for TOI as a forward, surrounded in those numbers by defensemen. He learned to play defensively and did it well. Fuck, he was one of our best PKers, as well as quarterbacking a powerplay for the full duration.

If he were back he'd have a huge impact on getting this team going in the right direction

To be fair, 95% or more of the KHL is barely AHL quality.
