Someone enlighten me. This org would kill for an Ovie, Semin, Datsyuk on this team.

There are quite a few risks with him:
1. He has two years left on his KHL deal and he could sign back there again once it's done like Kuznetsov did with Washington.
2. He's a LW and this organization is already filled with those and we've been looking for a #1 center since Nieuwendyk was traded for Iginla.
Yeah i know he's the boom bust player of the draft and that he's suppose to be worth the risk but I'd rather grab a potential #1 center that this team has been waiting for since i was only a year old. So i would say no to him.
