I was glad when Sergei left Detroit a few years back because I thought his effort level want down the drain as soon as he got the new contract.

Oilers sign Schremp to entry level deal
TSN.ca Staff
10/7/2005 1:38:10 PM
The Edmonton Oilers have signed Robbie Schremp to a three-year entry level contract.
Terms of the deal were not released.
Schremp, 19, was one of the final cuts from Oilers camp this year and was returned to the London Knights of the OHL earlier in the week. He impressed with his puckhandling ability and power play savvy, though he only scored one point in six preseason games.
"We are pleased to sign Rob to his first NHL contract," said Oilers Assistant GM Scott Howson. "He had an outstanding training camp with us and we are looking forward to him playing a part in the future success of the Oilers."
A first round pick, 25th overall, by the Oilers in 2004, the 5-foot-11, 200-pound Schremp was a major contributor to the Knights Memorial Cup win in 2005, after tallying 90 points in 62 regular season games and adding 29 points in 18 playoff games.

Kovalchuk heading back to Russia
The Atlanta Thrashers star has had enough of the stalled contract talks between himself and the team.
Sportsnet.ca -- Ilya Kovalchuk is packing his bags and heading home.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Thrashers all-star left wing is heading back to Russia and intends to play in the Russian Super League.
"It's my intention to go back to Russia on Sunday," Kovalchuk told the Journal. "I haven't heard from [Thrashers'] management. I don't know [what is going to happen]. If they call right now and offer something then maybe [a contract can be completed]. But otherwise I'm going back to Russia."
If Kovalchuk plays a game in Russia (starts Wednesday) it will essentially end any chance of him playing in the NHL this season. Any player who plays in Europe after the NHL season starts must clear waivers to return to his NHL team. Any of 29 teams could claim Kovalchuk, a virtual certainty, meaning the Thrashers would lose him.
Despite the ever-shrinking deadline, Atlanta general manager Don Waddell is still optimistic he can sign the restricted free agent.
"I'm confident that we're going to continue to negotiate and get a deal done," said Waddell.
It's believed Kovalchuk is looking for close to $7 million a season over five years while the Thrashers are offering $5.5 million.

Hockey Hearsay: October 7th

Alfie's stick beats him to the Hall
October 7 @ 8:55 AM
Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson may not make it to the Hall but at least a piece of him will.
The HOF has asked for, and will receive, the sticks Alfredsson and Senators winger Dany Heatley used in the first-ever shootout Wednesday night against the Leafs at the Air Canada Centre, the Ottawa Sun is reporting.
In other Senators news, Alfredsson will be moving back to the third line after playing on the top line in the season's first game.
It isn't so much a demotion as it is more to give the Sens another viable line and to make his new linemates, Mike Fisher and winger Chris Neil, all that much better.
Hull blasts Canucks
October 7 @ 8:55 AM
Make fun of Cujo sure, but the Great One? Not if Brett Hull has his say.
Hull couldn't hold back his ire as he told the Vancouver Province that the fans went too far when they chanted the name "Gretzky" in Wednesday night's loss in B.C.
"It was disgraceful," Hull told the Province. "This guy leads Canada to an Olympic gold medal [for the first time in 54 years, he might have added], wins a World Cup and has played internationally for Canada every chance he got. In his first game as a coach, these people are all over him."

So true! Right after I posted it, the sport announcers on TV were talking about how Kovalchuk had signed with Atlanta.
