[BACKCHECK!!!]

You already know what'll happen when Semin comes into the picture. A big flop is pretty much inevitable.

And on the wrong side of 30, it seems like second chances become increasingly unlikely to work out, no matter how appealing the opportunity. And it seems like Semin is just a little more depleted every time.

Trying to force things to work in that situation is just awkward and slightly embarrassing.

I'm sure Habs fans are relieved to get Semin out of their system. They probably just want to take a nap and forget about it. If they aren't careful where Semin ends up, there's a always chance they might regret it. But that depends on the timing of when they cut him loose more than anything.

... and that's all I've got for an all-ages audience.

After that it's all AIDS, abortions, and bukkake.

Edited to add:

Maybe Montreal will trade him and retain some salary? Or include a pick? That way they can basically pay the Oilers to take Semin...
