			<description><![CDATA[I don't see myself as racist but every single player for Russia were too good to wear a silver medal and would not put it on their neck, I do not want a single player from that team on the sens. Fiilatov was not one of them. We want character players, don't care where they come from. If Filatov is not a character player he can stay in Russia. This team is going places with 100% heart and character. Russia is a different culture to generalize them as a country might not be politically correct but not racist could be wrong It is not even a conversation of players from Sweden so the rep is self inflicted when they pull crap like they did with the silver.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Not going to reply on the new thread since I don't want to drag this out. Certainly when people who say Russian players have no heart or are lazy or selfish etc I can see the racism in that. But to simply state that Russians are risky draft picks isn't racist in itself. The lure of the KHL is a significant factor and the transition to living and working in North America can be harder on Russian players. I'm not an advocate of "never draft a Russian" but certainly you have to look a bit deeper if you plan to. It's more about statistical probability than anything else. To say "ALL" (insert race/religion/n ationality/gend er/whatever here) are a certain way is racist/bigoted, but to acknowledge tendencies that relate directly to the culture they come from is not. "Most Russians speak Russian and many do not speak English" - not racist. "Russians can't speak English" - racist. "Russians often prefer to play in the KHL over coming to North America to play in the AHL" - not racist. "Russians always bolt for the KHL" - racist. I think you actually said it right when you said "unfounded". If there's a legitimate, statistically proven trend based on what defines the "race" then it's not racism to acknowledge that. To treat it as an absolute or to make unfounded claims is racist though.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The comments in this thread are fairly innocent when compared to what has been said. The generalisations that Russian players are lazy, worthless, only interested in the money are often bandied about on this site (and others of course, but I only regularly read this one because I think it's the bext mix of news and comment)and whilst there are Russian players who fit this description there are also Russian players that don't and players from other nationalities that do. Dustin Penner is a regular victim of accusations of laziness and worthlessness, I'm surprised he hasn't got a Russian passport. If people just were a little more precise in their opinions rather than basing it on the generalisation of all Russians must be the same it would be a lot better. People would, hopefully, be appalled if somebody was to suggest that we stay away from Subban in the draft because he is black but advising that we don't qualify Filatov because he's Russian is apparently OK. Filatov is lazy and doesn't seem motivated and doesn't appear easy to coach because those are his own character flaws, he isn't all of those things just because he is Russian.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Yeah I don't see it as "racism" either. Nevermind the enigmatic players Snoopy mentioned, think about the decline, a heartless season by Ovie and his pal Semin. Bolting over to the worlds, surprised they had time to clean out their lockers. I'd bet Hunter spoke to to the GM or Leonsis about the problem with these guys this year and didn't hear an answer he liked so decided to quit on the team too. The fiasco with Radulov and then the bullshit in the middle of the playoffs with him and Kostitsyn . Now add Filatov to the heap of Russian prospects that decide to stay home instead. You can't deny this. This is a risk involved in drafting these guys. Sure if you have an Ovie or Yakupov or Malkin as a potential pick you measure risk against reward. Sure some of the best players in the world are Russian but there are also an abnormally high percentage who don't even show in the first place, or once they get that hefty contract their level of giving a shit plummets.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is surely " not racism " as we know it ! It's all about reality, and to me, there are some great Russian hockey players, that have played, and are playing in the NHL. However, when you see the likes of Yashin, Kovalev, Semin and others that I forget, these are the prima donnas of Russians, who simply play when they want to play. Guys like Tretiak, Bure, Ovechkin and some others, are great,and play with heart and desire, but in general, Russian hockey players do not exude heart and dedication, but just want the $$$ !!!!!!!!]]></description>

Speaking of Alexander Semin, yes he has said that he will go to free agency on July 1st. I hope the Sens have no interest in him. Keep up the great work Chirp. Thank you.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What I think will happen with Nikita Filatov is he'll receive a Q.O. Just to maintain his rights. He is a supersta but he isn't just yet.

			<description><![CDATA[ Agreed that it's surprising but it certainly isn't unique to this site. Not sure why you're surprised, it's been happening for the 3 years that I've been visiting the site. There just seems to be the belief that it's not real racism because it's not about the colour of the skin. Call me insensitive, but how is it racism to say that Russian players are risky draft picks? Nobody (that I've seen) has said they lack skill - only that it's tough to lure them away from the KHL where they can make big bucks playing "at home" instead of riding the buses in the AHL. Not saying that none of the comments were racist (didn't read them all) but the basic concept of Russian draft picks being risky in hardly racist.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ See, this just proves MoeDozer's point more. Russians who are drafted top of the class usually hang around, case in point Yashin, Gonchar, Volchenkov. You have the odd one that doesnt pan out being that high, Filatov. But for the most part, high prospect Russian players aren't always a bad gamble. I think the introduction to the KHL has really made this seem worse than it is, but you do obvioulsy have to take into account that some players who may not break into the NHL right away, may consider the KHL instead of riding the bus in the farm league because they pay much more at the start of the players career. The NHL doesn't do that anymore.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ i know its tough to still back up the russians but if we seriously broke it down, sens fans just blow up the russian factor more than what it really is in ottawa. in 2007 bashkirov was (i believe) drafted under muckler at the 2nd last pick in 2nd round.. ahead of wayne simmonds.. before him was 3rd rounder the late Vitali Anikeyenko (RIP) in 2005, and 4th rounder zubov who did have a good attempt at bingo but was never good enough to move up. and from 2002-2004 we drafted 3 straight russians in the 2nd round. all failed obviously. before then a true 1st rounder was volchenkov and before then was yashin. both 1st rounders and both played serious amount of time in the NHL. point is, when we have drafted high russians. its worked. any lower well its pretty much as big a gamble as drafting a player from any nationality. we will not be drafting a russian for a pretty long time so for the sens fans that hate russians, well you shouldnt be worried. the only time we will draft a russian is if we have a top 5 pick and a russian is projected to go then. and it seems recently that more and more russians are deciding to stay at home even high end prospects (tarasenko, kuznetsov etc.) but this years top 3 no one should be worried. yakupov is a guranteed hit for the nhl. galchenyuk is russian decent but plays for team USA.. grigorenko might be a small concern but he really seems like he will be here too]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have to say that we have had more than our fair share of Russian duds. the list is endless here in Ottawa, other that Volchenkov I was hopeful on Filatov, judging by what I had seen here live in Ottawa at the WJC, and cannot believe how far he has sunk. Therefore I disagree wtih Tooks on this one. Speaking of Russian duds, anyone know anything about that 2nd round pick we took in Bashkrirov, who we chose out of the CHL? Seems to have vanished... another wasted pick! He seems to have been our last Russian pick, and I do not think we have many prospects left... leave them for the other teams to take, I say stick to North American or Swedes... IMO only of course]]></description>

I picked too many Penguins thinking they were going to the Cup final... That didn't work well. I also don't know what planet I have been on... but I did not realize that PA Parenteau was born in Hull? Not sure if his family is still there.. but if he hits UFA and Murray goes after him.. I would think he could get him...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ So I guess Ovie, Kovalchuk, Datsyuk, Malkin should just retire or go back to KHL then? Dont be stupid, I would draft atleast 1-2 Russians a year in hopes of landing a guy like one of them! And if the Russian is a high pick, they usually turn out to be the be4st in the NHL in a few years. Yakupov and Girgorenko are going to be what they are worth and then some, especially if Yak goes to EDM, wow! Grigs in MTL is exactly what they need a BIG C with speed and size! And at #3 Galchenyuk is going to be a great player aswell, these guys all play in the CHL and are used to the Canadian game and even play it better than most Canadians! I agree mostly except for the part if they are a high pick - Filatov was a high pick - Filatov committed to the Wolves if he didn't make CLB out of camp (which he stupidly did) So your point doesn't make a whole lot of sense here]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It was a calculated risk at the time and I supported it then. Statistically, the odds of a 3rd rounder having a major impact at the NHL level is about equal to the general odds of a "second tier" Russian panning out. And Filatov still might but of course the odds are longer now. You win some, you lose some.]]></description>

And at #3 Galchenyuk is going to be a great player aswell, these guys all play in the CHL and are used to the Canadian game and even play it better than most Canadians!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ It was for last years 3rd and in the 4th round we picked Pageau and Claesson in the 5th. It appears that both of them have a brighter future than Filatov in the nhl. I'd be curious to see who our scouts would have snatched up in the 3rd...you know, fantasy world.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[No surprise here, I said then that we should not have made that move & should have kept the 3rd rd pick. You can't trust Russian players, you never know when they are going to bolt back to Russia & the KHL. It's the reason why more & more teams are not drafting Russian players. olumbus looked relieved they wouldn't have to draft Yakopov when they lost the lottery. If Montreal does not select Grigorenko with their pick I bet he will drop in the draft. they just aren't worth the trouble or the risk associated with the way they play the game in NA.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ So by "not even" does that mean it could be a 1-way AHL contract? I don't get the "not even" here as it sounds like it's saying it's a good thing but I would assume we'd want him on a 2-way contract if anything so we can move him up and down if we wanted to. I know it's a moot point since that scenario is highly unlikely, but can anyone clarify?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[From The6thSens... According to Capgeek, to retain Filatov's NHL rights the Senators would have to qualify him with an offer of $826,875. Because his base salary of $787,500 is greater than $660,000 and less than $1,000,000, it is increased by 5 percent for the purposes of his qualifying offer. Perhaps more importantly, the qualifying offer would not even have to be a two-way contract offer because Filatov: didn't appear in 180 or more NHL games in his previous three seasons; appear in 60 or more NHL games the previous season; and didn't clear waivers during the previous season. On the surface, it seems like an easy decision to qualify the player just so that the Senators could retain his rights. But honestly, would anyone blame them if they didn't? As one of two gambles, Matt Gilroy being the other, that never really paid dividends last season, the likelihood of Filatov accepting a two-way contract to compete with prospects and other organizational players who have passed him on the depth chart is unlikely. But assuming he did accept Ottawa's offer, his contractual agreement would go towards the NHL's mandated 50 contract reserve limit. (In other words, every NHL organization is permitted to have only 50 players signed to NHL contracts at a time - this includes prospects, minor league players on two-way deals and et cetera.) http://www.the6thsens.com/2012-articles/may/filatov-signs-contract-with-khls-salavat-yulaev.html]]></description>
