Nuke is playing in a NHL vs KHL All Star event in Russia this summer



Not likely sanctioned by the NHL but I thought it was interesting he is playing for Team NHL.

  1. It’s just a showcase league no different than DaBeauty League that a lot of NHLers play in in the offseason. It’s a nothingburger.

  2. Why is it surprising the nhl player is playing for team nhl

    Surprised to not see Kuch or Vasy or Shesterkin on this one.

    He will be back. The team
    And we will forgive him. If not we pay another team to beat us with him.

    At what point do we just forgive his sins and put an ankle monitor on him 24/7?

    Screw that jabroni. Why would we want him back on the team? He’s just going to disappoint once again.

    It’s a little odd how playing in the KHL is compliant with some substance abuse program.

  8. I get that a lot of ppl have their opinions on Val, and those are warranted in a way, he’s let us down twice. But the human element makes me think he wants to be better and come back to help this team. If we lose him we don’t just replace his presence with the money he makes. He’s too good a forechecker and a beast all over to simply replace him. I hope he’s back and ready to go in November once he’s eligible to play again.
