It is the smart move. Do everything you can to keep Kirill happy, and sell more jerseys in the process. Kids are going to want that 97 jersey with an "A" on it. Plus, he's the best player in franchise history and the best left wing in the NHL. This was a no brainer. . . .
What problems did you have with Russia in Finland after World War II? We have lived peacefully for 80 years, Finland has become one of the most prosperous countries thanks to good relations with Russia. In Russia, we cited Finland as an example, as an ideal neutral country. But in 2022 Finland began to behave like your close relative Estonia. Finnish Russophobic policy will have a negative impact primarily on Finland.
Good to see Kirill get the A! If we have Boldy/EK/Johansson line producing as well as Kirill and Co. the Wild could be hard to beat. They need to play team defense but not at the cost of not scoring. There has not been a balance with Dean's approach. I think Kirill's line needs a much more talented center on that line. We will see how things roll. Rossi should get some time on that line to see if he can get it done.
This role will be good for him. I think this year he comes out of his shell a lot more. I have a feeling by the end of the year he will be a lot less quiet on the ice and in the locker room
Прогресс в английском!!! Все лучше и лучше… шутит … так хорошо относятся к нему все в Миннесоте… и стар и млад… наверно может и не надо уходить… а если попадёт к самодуру … типа Ротенберга… и на лавку посадят… ещё хуже обменяют…
He is an absolute celebrity here in Minnesota and fans love him and his English is really progressing. I don't care what he speaks as long as he stays healthy.
