Miromanov will take some time to report....so I wonder what was the rush to push Desjardins out of Moncton.
Was it The Islanders asking for an early trade?
Actually the Titan are waiting to have some concrete evidence that its Euros will show up.
I hear that Miro got to reapply for a visa.
How long does that take?

It'll take two weeks. If this is indeed inevitable, sending Desjardins to another team right away is the right thing to do.

Probably longer the first time ... renewal of a Visa is likely a little quicker if the applicant has not been a problem in the past. We have no idea when the process was started ... it may already be in the works for a few weeks. It may also be hung up in getting a release from his current team. |

Has it been confirmed that he is intending to come to Moncton? Or are we just assuming the Visa is the holdup from announcing

I think given where we are likely to be this season (mid-pack), we are better off holding onto Khovanov in hope he comes next year ... would be a high impact player for the opening year in the new centre. Pretty sure that if we add a euro this season we would need to release Khovanov. Of course, I say this with no inside knowledge of the relationship between him and the team - perhaps the bridge has been burned and there is little or no chance of him coming next year either. Something must have went sideways with Miromanov ... we could have held on to Desjardins for a while, he is a decent Q calibre d-man that we basically gave away ... only to have an OA spot sit empty. My guess is they were expecting Miromanov would have been here by now ... |

My guess is they were expecting Miromanov would have been here by now ... I don't think we'd have to release Khovanov (or any import) until we actually have 3 with the team. We only have one Euro signed to a player card right now. Khovanov is also still signed to another league so he isn't even our property. Where long term illness is in play here ... Khovanov may qualify immediately for the special list. |

He had 29 goals last year as an 18 yr old ... 16 g as a 17 yo. He was better than a ppg player in Moosejaw (51 pts in 40 games), before being traded to Prince George where he slumped off to 18 pts in 31 games. 6'6" and 207 ... seems tall and skinny. The quote on the page says "Popugaev has skill with the puck, utilizes his reach well and can beat defensemen one-on-one." Have we ever seen an Import get picked up on waivers and join another league in the CHL? |
