Thread: Some lines after the last couple of games
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>1) It's Khusnu<strong>t</strong>dinov. There's a t in there.

2) SKA St. Petersburg is extremely deep at center. They're considered a top 3 team in the KHL because of it. They literally have no need for him to play there. But they recognize his skill and want him on the KHL squad. He started out strong and was playing on their top six because of it. But lately has hit a bit of a slump and dropped down into their bottom six of late.

That said, I don't think he'll get sent down to the MHL. He's too valuable for them to have on the KHL squad. Given their depth at center, and that it's more valuable that he's gaining much needed experience in the 2nd best league in the world, I'm not particularly worried about him playing on the wing.

Russo has said in the past that the Wild brass still view him as a center in the NHL, and they're not concerned about him playing wing either. And if they're not, I'm not.</div></div>
Yep, but they had significant issues at C at the start of the season. They apparently were dissatisfied with Ivan Morozov’s desire to go to VGK next year and sent him down.

Concerning Marat, I can see a trend in all that stuff. I still remember the reaction that overseas expert had when Capitals were switching Kuzy to C. They were saying that they would ruin him as a player. Developing a center is a job harder that developing a wing. Teams usually choose a path of less resistance. And this is one of the reasons why we don’t have a lot of NHL centers.

Ska is no longer regarded as a top 3 KHL teams too.

Although I do trust Russo, I also watch a lot of Russian hockey to be cautious about that. But once again, this is just an opinion.
