I've read that he had better KHL stats than Panarin, but I can see why he'd be slow to get going since he doesn't speak the same language as his coaches and teammates. Vegas has chemistry in spades right now and that's why they're winning games. I wonder if a team with more Russian players like Washington or Tampa Bay would be better for him since he'd at least have some teammates he can communicate with. Definitely a bizarre situation.
