Hope he'll come back!

Not exactly a big shock. However, it is slightly reassuring that he continues to reiterate his desire to play in the NHL. And it's not like he's the only one going to the KHL during the lockout.

Why not play some SKA in the meantime? Sorry bad joke.

I'm not sure he's reiterating anything. Most of the quotes were from his introduction press conference.

(Frank) fantastic. Thanks NHL.

He'll never be back. Yet another wasted high draft pick.

[glen a richter]

He could have been one of the great ones. Now he'll be fantastic... in Russia... for his entire career.

F U, Bettman.

[Nyghtewynd]

Only in St. Louis could our "draft wizards" waste so many high draft picks on players who never play in the country much less the NHL and keep their jobs.

[glen a richter]

To be fair they probably didn't expect Bettman would be such a cockbag when they were busy drafting The One.

[ViPeRx007]

At least he came to town to talk to some reporters for a while and whatever.

Not so fast.
