The idea of this scares me so much. The situation with Russia is so scary.

Fs I’m a blues fan so I’m just glad all our russian players decided to not head back to RUS rn, except Kostin for a Visa

Seattle doesn't do this. They're trying to collect picks and prospects, not trade them away.

The focus for the Kraken is on the future, not on these kinds of quick-fix solutions. Dumba's a great defenseman, just doesn't fit Seattle's needs.

Our beat writer on the situation FWIW

Regarding reports that Kirill Kaprizov is wanted in Russia for allegedly buying a military ID in 2017 and has returned to the United States, a #mnwild source says he is not in the U.S. Obviously this is a complicated story and I'm working to see if there's merit.

If true, this is terrifying. Hope Kirill and his family are safe.

Oh god...opened the thread a little while ago and was like "?", and then just saw the story. What absolutely f*ckin' terrifying times we're in right now...

This is who you thought of making while kaprizov's life could be in danger?

Stop overreacting. If he did not bribe officials, he will be in MN this fall. If he did, he will be facing charges.

FYI, this is a continuation of one of the top police officials case. He was helping players with a military id for a fee and was caught recently. 3 Salavat Ufa players (Kirill’s former club) are already on trial, including ex Flyers Vorobyev.

I will post the updates on all cases (Fedotov, Kaprizov and others) on this website once they are out, cause it looks like we cannot trust the media on both continents any longer.
