Since they were drafted out of Russia, rather than the OHL, this isn't illegal. He also didn't really have a step forward in his creation this season and might be better served by working in his defensive game in the OHL, and hammering a 2010 Canadian WJC group blueline. Hagman is somewhat inconsistent at times, and will certainly match with all the fair forward contingency that the Leafs have. While I think Kadri could definitely use a second season in the OHL (at least), the holes in the Maple Leafs top 6 forward spots could give him an invaluable chance to create the team. It's likely the panels will create a recommendation for fresh suggestions on offside to be trialled following year. Blues President John Davidson has even alluded to this fact that Pietrangelo might not be ready for NHL responsibility this year. Yeah Chiarot will probably be around next year, but Eric O'Dell, John Kurtz, Steve Reese, Jared Staal, and Andrew Loverock won't be. Meanwhile John Carlson, Andrei Loktionov, also Evgeni Grachev were kept at the AHL. Unfortunately for the Thrashers, they overlook 't have the luxury of sending Burmistrov into the AHL as the Rangers and Kings did with Grachev and Loktionov last year.
