Is Semin done in Carolina?

[sureLoss]

Sure sounds like it. Looks like he maybe the next high profile player to go on waivers:

Chip Alexander @ice_chip
No line changes from Monday practice. Semin, Nestrasil are extra forwards.

Chip Alexander @ice_chip
Asked Peters if Semin situation is frustrating: "It's not frustrating to me. We just play the guys who dig in and work and play with speed."

Chip Alexander @ice_chip
Peters said he has had several conversations with Semin this season. "Obviously something's not right. Talk is cheap, though, right?"

Chip Alexander @ice_chip
Peters said he will play the "best 20 players" and wants players to show teammates, organization they want to play. "Show me," he said.

Chip Alexander @ice_chip
The question now is what will be done about Semin? Waivers, send to AHL, buyout? It seems clear Peters' patience has run out.

Faulk + Semin for 2015 7th round pick.

Make it happen, Brad.

[sureLoss]

Has 3 more years @ $7million per after this season.

[ForeverFlameFan]

Definitely a contract that would be easier to take than M. Richards, and fits a need for the team. Hopefully all he needs is just a change of scenery.

[keenan87]

That leaves 3 more years… Just about time when the Flames will need cap space. I would take a flyer on him for HUGE compensation. Semin might even be a good fit with Gaudreau.

[red sky]

Looks like he dried up

[SuperMatt18]

I would do it if they add.

Test him out for a bit and see what happens. When he is on the right team and motivated it had worked in the past, but if things go south it is bad.

They were potentially willing to move their first last year to get rid of Ward. No chance they move this years' first, but maybe Hayden Fleury could be in play.

Ugh

[Buff]

What are you guys talking about? Semin has never been worth $7M/year. I've never seen him as a good addition to any team.

Oh no..... Flames stay away.....

That guy is to expensive and is probably finished.

[Robo]

bidding war between carolina and la for who will take their bad contract

[sureLoss]

Perhaps if they lit the arena with black light they would find Semin...

[Burke Salad]

Ummm...yeah...when I said no Russians, I meant NO RUSSIANS!

[RyZ]

I want Semin even less than Richards. Unless we are talking high end prospects or 1st rounders, I don't even look at bringing these guys in.....and I still may not with the 1st rounders attached.

Those are 2 God Awful contracts.

[Coach]

Not a fan of Semin at all. Soft, lazy and immensely skilled. Just the kind of player that drives teammates nuts.

Yea, that's why Faulk was included in my 100% non serious trade proposal.

[ah123]

I could see the Flames being a broker in the Semin trade; he is not worth $7M/year, but there would be teams interested in him at 3.5M/year and the Flames could easily handle 3.5 per year for the next three years in exchange for good young player/prospect

[Red Ice Player]

Yeah. That's all we need. A lazy unmotivated KHL bound paperweight with a horrible contract.

[savardandjokinen]

KHL calling
