I really don't see much of a "Russian Factor" for a kid that is playing in the CHL. He has already taken a huge step in moving away from home, presumably picking up a new language and getting accustomed to the NA game. I am in the Svechnikov camp for sure.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
