Why would Semin want to play with a silly Penguin on his sweater. He'd be much better off with Satan on his side!

Does anyone really care if we overspend a bit on Semin, just to have him as Parise 2.0, but actually a better person and player?

Question: if we sign Semin and after a year or two it's clearly not working out, can he be transferred to the KHL? Would we get out of having to pay him if that happens?

Word on the streets is that the Pens and Wings won't go above 4 years on Semin.

According to the Ottawa Sun the Semin sweepstakes is down to NJ and Detroit. Not sure how true it is but Ill trust a major newspaper over a twitter account anyday.

Strange the homeless guy in my previous post said he works for the Sun. Or maybe he said he works on the Sun.

Wow, Alexander Semin still can't speak almost any english. He doesn't even make an effort. I know it's difficult but he's been here for years now.

Could semin play the RW?
Kovy - Zajac - Semin could be intriguing.
Edit: Assuming Kovy shifts back over now that Zach is gone.

both of these are from this past season - clearly A-Train speaks well enough and while not so fluent, he makes a real effort. Semin couldn't give a fvck.

Semin being "lazy" about learning a foreign language is about as American as it gets.

He could just walk out on his deal. I'm not sure about the assignment. Vish got assigned to the KHL but I'm not sure what that did to his NHL deal.

My first reaction was to discredit it since I assumed it was written by that tool Bruce Garrioch but I was wrong. I'm not sure how credible the author, Don Brennan, is but it is interesting to see the Devils attached to Semin according to his sources.According to the Ottawa Sun the Semin sweepstakes is down to NJ and Detroit. Not sure how true it is but Ill trust a major newspaper over a twitter account anyday.
Here is the article:
From what we are led to believe, only the New Jersey Devils and Detroit Red Wings have expressed any real interest in Semin.
Semin’s agent, Mark Gandler, recently told ESPN The Magazine that the Capitals mishandled the gifted Russian right winger. He said Semin, who has a strong preference to play in the NHL rather than go back home and become a KHLer, wants to have the expanded role Washington wouldn’t offer.
He wants to kill penalties and play in the last minute of games. He wants more ice time than the 16:47 he averaged last season the Capitals, his lowest since he was a rookie in 2003-04.

Thats basically his primary position. He played RW more often than not in Washington.
