Looks like Samorukov is heading to the KHL for the coming season. Holland seems okay with the arrangement.
“'The most important thing is that he is a developing 20/21-year-old player,” Holland said. “If North American hockey doesn’t start again until December, we’re not sure, he has a unique opportunity here. The KHL is an excellent league and it’s right in his backyard.”
How big a blow is this for the Oilers?
Though it is not Holland’s preferred path, the Oilers general manager does have a history of allowing young European players to spend their first couple of years as a professional at home, as exhibited by the likes of Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk in Detroit, and more recently Oilers first round pick Philip Broberg."
Might work out okay. Samorukov has played a few seasons on the North American ice surfaces, so playing in the KHL might do him some good if the season in Europe starts earlier.

Depending on the depth chart where he lands, I don't mind this at all. Samorukov was not an every day player in Bakersfield this year and had minimal special teams opportunities when he was in the lineup. If he's going to keep his value up, he needs to keep developing and that requires icetime. The Oilers defence depth chart is a little too full at the current time to give everyone what they need, so this could be good. Hope for him to get lots of icetime, play on the powerplay and put up points like he did in Junior.
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
