That's a lot of time off skates for a prospect... So yeah this is good news actually, kid gets to start playing probably around September in the KH.. Russia never seemed to lock-down s severely in the first place so pretty sure they'll let the KHL to start as normal. I expect all the other prospects on the Condors that have the ability to play on a Euro elite league team will be encouraged to do the same.. Euro ice time is better than no ice time .. these prospects career clocks are ticking... after a certain age its all over but the cryin' Samorukov will be a beaut.. just hope he doesn't meet some Russian hottie and decide to stay there.. .. Young players need to play especially young dmen because the position is harder in my opinion than forward. Samorukov is not making the Oilers this year, nor should he. With the NHL season as to when it will start up in the air and as a result, the AHL season probably delayed, him sitting at home not playing or practicing is no good. So hell yeah, send him over to play. This kid has a legit chance at being something so let him play. I hope he plays a lot in the KHL. Is there any other player they can do it with? Here is a question. Samorukov will go over, play in the KHL. I think in a normal year, their season starts before the NHL/AHL season and it ends before each is done. So if the the NHL/AL doesn't start their 20-21 season until maybe November or December with the idea of going into summer, could Samorukov come back over and play for Bakersfield after his KHL season is done assuming he's healthy?

I would assume so, once his KHL contract is over, he should be able to play for The Oil, he's still signed, should be a go..

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
