I just hope that Montreal isn't getting a bad reputation around the league from Russian players. The Russians surely talk amongst one another and it would be bad if Samsanov, Kovalev and Perz. were starting to scare other Russians from signing with the Habs.
I know it is hard to tell what is true or not behind the scenes but it did appear to me that there was some friction between Carbo and the Russians. It would be terrible if Montreal gained the label within the Russian NHL circles as a place not to sign.
I am just worried that maybe Emelin and Valentanko may be scared off about signing with the Habs because of all the nonsense that was going on over the course of this season. Having said that I really hope they both sign soon.
