montreal Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 http://www.habprospects.com/modules.php?na...icle&sid=54 Emelin's team Lada is having major money problems again and could be expelled from the RSL. There are reports from the Russian media that Emelin might come to the Habs training camp this fall, if Lada can't find the money to pay their players and build a new rink, then Emelin's contract with Lada will be void and the team will be out of the RSL. A similar situation happend last year with Grabovski and Dynamo as he wasn't paid for months by his team, thus his contract became void.

Unfortunate for Lada though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 even if Lada doesn't go bankrupt, doesn't this mean that the club needs whatever transfer fee they can get for their desireable players? BG can make any semi-reasonable offer and Lada would prolly accept so that they can keep the lights on. Don't want to wish ill on anybody, but good news for the CH.

Easy Ryder Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 This would be very good indeed for Montreal and if both Valetenko and Emelin can come next year, we could have a all russian on left side. And for a good defense coach we could hire Fetisov !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsaneHABSfan Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Gillette should buy Lada and make it a great feeder team for the Habs!!! One can dream. :hlogo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habscout Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 That's a great scoop, and article. Thanks Dan! I hope that the Habs get Emelin under contract sooner than later. If they can get both Valentenko & Emelin signed, that will be even better. I am not certain that either defenceman has the potential to become a true #1 with the Habs, but both could easily fall into the #2-#4 slots. My hope is that someone like David Fischer or Mathieu Carle can rise to that level in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sakiqc Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Would be great to see him in NA, after all the promising talks we heard from him. I hope our russian Habs scout will continue to find us hidden gem! We got very good late russian picks in the past drafts. But still, as good as they are, can't think of anyone making the NHL despite Markov. There's still time I guess for some of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullsmith Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 We need to get these Russian Defencemen over here ASAP, both for their development and to deal with a glaring lack of depth at the close-to-ready level. We were forced to trade Ribiero for Niniiimaa because we had no one who could play minutes in the league when injuries hit early last year. We can't afford to get stuck like that again. Does anyone know if there is ever going to be a proper transfer deal between Russia and the league? These days every time you draft a Russian, you take a huge chance you'll end up with nothing. Imagine how we'd be slobbering over Yemelin and Valentenko is they were in Sweeden or the U.S. right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 This is such excellent news. I believe Emelin can and will make the Canadiens if he comes to North America next year. I hope Lada folds even for just a season, but should they not I believe his contract may be void becuase they are still having troubles paying thier players.

habscout Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I believe his style is similar to Kasparitis. If so, I hope he doesn't develop into such a dirty player. I remember watching Emelin play in the WJHC against Canada in the finals a few seasons ago. He played a great game, and even chipped in a goal, which I believe was the Russian's sole tally. he's a mean S O B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasparitis is a great comparison in the fact that he is a no BS player in front of his goalie. As for the dirty part, that is where the comparisons should end.

montreal Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 http://www.habprospects.com/modules.php?na...icle&sid=58 Lada finally pays his salary, now his contract won't be voided as hoped. Things become tougher for Gainey to get him over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yeah saw that on another board. The ball is in Gaineys court, sucks that Emelins dad coaches LADA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacchus Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I don't know anything about the contract, nor Russian law, but it seems to me that unreasonable delays in payment can still be seen as breach of contract. So, if Emelin really wanted to get out, I don't think that late payment would necessarily stop him, unless he felt compelled to stay there out of loyalty. My 2 cents.

Easy Ryder Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If he wants to stay there then so be it. It's like Perezhogin case, they think that they can come in the NHL, they have to derserve a spot to make the big money. If Emelin wants to come here one day why should he be considered higher then any AHL prospect ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to send him to the A for seasoning and to learn the NA game, language etc. But the simple fact is we need to upgrade our D and if we keep losing our best young players to the RSL, our depth ain't nothing but paper.
