Nikita Filatov Back to Russia? 

Post#1 » by Morris_Shatford » Mon Dec 12, 2011 4:01 pm

A source of mine in Russia has been speculating for some time now that Filatov could be heading to Russia and today we are starting to hear reports on this. Quite a shame actually. This is one kid whom I always believed could be a real factor in the NHL.

I remember meeting him at the draft and you couldn't ask for more. He looked to have the whole package. He was bright, could speed English well, was interesting (recalling his hardcore training in the woods where he would exercise carrying logs around), and he had the looks of a star.

This kid has tons of talent. Hopefully he turn things around but I have a feeling he's going to be staying in the KHL long term.

I really think we we did a poor job of managing him while he was here and he wasn't given a fair opportunity.
