Cheechoo to the KHL
@IgorEronko: Jonathan Cheechoo signed contract with Croatian #Medvescak of #KHL per the league
I am a bit surprised he didn't get any contracts in the NHL.

Too slow. No longer the player he once was.

The last time he played an NHL game was 4 years ago.

My face is a bum!
What an odd carreer this guy has had. The Jim Carey of forwards.

His goal totals plummeted in 5 consecutive seasons before he was out of the NHL: 56, 37, 23, 12, 5. All in 60+ games. Incredible story.

I'd say he's more like Vanilla Ice.

His recent numbers in the AHL seem to be pretty good, though. Surprised to see he didn't get one last crack at the NHL with a two-way contract.

The fact this guy won a Richard trophy is truly a testament to how awesome Joe Thornton is.

Maybe it came down to dollars, what is the KHL salary worth vs. NHL league minimum?

With this fan following him around, no wonder he went to Croatia.
Didn't he have a knee injury that made him lose a step, just enough to make him ineffective?

Goes to show you better be careful drafting players from Moose Factory, ONT. Not worth the risk, in my opinion.

A real shame about this guy. Even before he won his Rocket, he was a real great success story just by making it to the NHL. Judging by his declining stats, you'd think this guy was almost 40. Only 33 seeing the decline he had is quite sad.

That's what'll get his career back on track. Bigger ice.
