Mr. Nasty Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 From the HF boards: "As reported by Soviet Sport, Emelin has signed a two-year deal with AK Bars Kazan. In a short interview to the paper, he said that they had started negotiating before the WHC, and that the Habs also offered a contract, but it was too late since he had already reached a deal with Kazan by the time the Habs approached him."

Athlétique.Canadien Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 SCREW HIM THEN - LET'S MOVE ON. AT LEAST WE HAVE HIS RIGHTS AND IF HE WANTS A SNIFF OF THE NHL, IT'LL HAVE TO BE THROUGH THE CH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan24 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) After all the good work Gainey has done in the last week this is unfortunate. The Habs must move on....does this put more pressure on Gainey to re-sign Souray now? maybe up the deal a bit?

les_glorieux Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 OK, clearly there are VERY few Russians that want to play close to home. All they want is more money, and signing with a Russian club is the way to get that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may since the Gazette and other media pundits have him inserted into the D lineup in Montreal, not Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_faerie87 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 don't we lose his rights soon? I was actually thinking that too. I think we have one more summer, but I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 don't we lose his rights soon? \ It depends if they extend some as they did last year from Russia but if they do not I believe they lose his rights next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Oh well, better luck next summer if Emelin is gone for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Russian sources are now saying that Emelin has signed a 2 year deal with Ak Barz *shoots the messenger* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullsmith Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 This is terrible, terrible news about Emelin signing for two more years in the RSL. If Bob wants him badly enough he can buy him away from the team. Personally I hope he does. We're desperately thin on D and this is a guy Pierre McGuire has repeatedly compared to Brian Rafalski- a future #1 defenceman. I WANT HIM ON THE TEAM.

Habsfan24 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I think with Timonen (sp) signed with the Flyers now and Souray poised to leave in a couple weeks Bob should really try and buy him or get him over anyway he can. I know it might cost the Habs a lot more but it is probably cheaper then spending some insane amount of money on a UFA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMMR Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Radio interview with his agent. Agent feels he wanted to come over now but to much local pressure to stay in Russia. Agent believes he is NHL ready and if he started in Hamilton this year he would not be there long. Does not believe he has an out clause! Might see Emelin with Habs after all? Agent " Not sure I have been watching him since he was 16 I was excited to have him come over but now I and the Fans of Montreal have to wait" Rookie max was being offered in the range of 900k to 1 mil.
