From what I have read about his "history" and having heard his promises to be more disciplined...here's the quote:
...I'd say he's off to a lousy start. Here's his history for anyone interested: http://www.russianhockeyfans.com/prospects...e-fall-198.html Chalk it up to immaturity if you like....but I'd say he's a bit of an entitled egomaniac thus far in his young career. |

You can call me Joe.

Probably meant he didn't oversleep - even so, do we figure he's just a bad judge of how long it takes to get ready / get to the rink? Maybe they need to cover some newfangled inventions in camp, like the alarm clock. My kid has the same problem, but she's 9. |

I saw him in the hallway on Monday. Nice kid. Said hows it going to e before heading off to the parking lot. He's listed at 6'2 but he doesnt really appear it. I saw his tattoos pretty sick if you ask me but then again Im a tattoo addict. |

Part if his bad reputation is being late to or missing practice...and being late for the team bus (per the link I posted)...which is why I find these TWO instances @ camp completely unacceptable. This is the big leagues kid...either u want it or u don't

If the kid has the potential to be a top 10 talent (now THINK about what that says) then it is up to us as an organization to do everything we can to correct his immaturity and get him to play. If this is what we signed Doug Weight for then Dougie better earn his keep. And by the way, with the influx of Russian players we now have in the system and that number will surely grow, why the hell didn't we look for a respected Russian vet with something left in the tank that could speak the language, understand the mentality of and mentor these Russian kids? Or even hire an assistant coach (or for that matter, a "special assistant?) Hell, the Yankees hired an Asian scout a decade ago and look how that paid off for them (alright, they have money to burn so probably a bad example, but you get the point). Oh, I forgot, that is forward thinking and we don't do that. |

Botta does have a point but all we Islanders fans should read about and latch onto from that entry is this paragraph...
We knew this. Jankowski disagreed with drafting this kid. But Garth and Wang thought otherwise and in the end, it could have cost Jankowski his job. Unless of course it was just another cost cutting measure. What you can take away from this is simple. NO Islanders employee has full 100% confidence in their job to fulfill their requirements because the ultimate say and final word some from the top. That, absolutely SUCKS if you ask me. Would a chef at a restaurant allow the owner to make days special? I still cannot understand how we have fans who cream at the thought of Wang being a capable NHL owner or much less feel sorry for the guy based on the propaganda they release. This team is toast as long as he's here making hockey decisions.

I don't wanna latch onto that...I'm more interested in his opinion about what should be done with Kabanov. But I'll give u props for yet another smooth segue into a riff about management.
If I had a nickle...... Still love ya Stevo...keep fighting the good fight

I have to agree, send him packing for the year and let it be a lesson to the kid. We don't need head problems at this stage of the game for our team. |

Sounds like more punishments or more of a chance because they view him as a work in process. I hope that at the very least, should he not work out, he has value as a trade chip but we're a long ways away from that. |

Maybe they should get him a therapist or some Ritalin or something... it would be wise to get this boy turned around sooner than later. |

yesterday yes. No one is skating today...it's a meeting day with a special power play scrimmage tonight. The only one on the ice today is the young head case w/ coach Jack. |

I'm still glad they used a 3rd rounder on him. The risk was well worth it. It's not like we had a first round pick and the rest of our draft sucked. As for keeping him around, I think they should have made a bigger example of him and then let him watch the next game from up top. Then see what kind of character/fire he has in next practice/scrimmage/game. If he shows nothing, return him and start all over next year. |

This guy is a scrub and wont turn around IMO. Too many years of deviant behavior will keep this guy in the 'enigmatic' class of other russian athletes. But I agree it was still a good risk to take. Just because your young doesn't make you stupid, but he acts stupidly when there is so much to lose. His actions make no sense even for an immature guy. He needs a therapist and drugs. |

Czerkawski fell asleep in a meeting. He led our team in scoring and contributed offensively for a good time. Federov and Kasparaitis and even Pavel Bure had issues. Drunk driving, legal problems, discipline issues, sure. You work with them and hope for the best. If Kabanov has the talent to make the NHL, this year, next or down the line, you make it work.You drop him because he has attitude issues, well, then Buffalo ends up with Hasek instead of Chicago. |
