Craig seems to have spent the last 10 years being the best damn scout on the planet. Why aren't these requisite skills for GMs? Maybe it's our secret Moneyball weapon.

He was worried about the other dmen being able to communicate with the Russians. Solution: no problem if they all speak Russian.

SCOUTING REPORT
The Russian defenseman plays a physical style, but he has to make sure he does not sacrifice positioning in search of the big hit. He is at his best when he keeps his game smart and simple, letting the opportunities for big hits come to him. He is not likely to fill up the scoresheet but looks like a good stay-at-home complement for a partner who likes to join the rush.

Long Range Potential: Physical defenseman.

If you think it's hard to spell, try pronouncing it.
