Frattin to the KHL.

Disappointing he could not keep up in the NHL, really liked the kid while at UND. I am no hockey guru, but what was the main reason for poor production?

I feel like untimely injuries really hurt his chances.

Some players you can tell are going to end up in Europe but I didn't really think Frattin would I guess until he started jumping back and forth from teams.

I really thought he would have a nice career. Seemed like he had it all. Crazy how it works out sometimes.

Frattin started out well with Toronto. He and Nazim Kadri were on the same line and tearing it up. Then he blew a knee and never fully recovered.Sent down to the Marlies. He was traded to the Kings and played like 40 games in their 13-14 championship season before he re-injured the knee. Was never the same after. He was one of my favorite players. Without a doubt the best college player in the country his senior year. He had to much baggage to win the Hobey that year.

Kisto and LaDue are on the player list too. The games are 4 on 4 for 2-30 minute periods. 

 

I think I have a Mpls trip in the near future :)

Best of luck to Frattin. Playing in China he has a chance to be an ambassador for the game.  Between the NHL and the local gov't there are a lot of resources being pumped in to hockey in China.

I still remember his classy and non-chalant celebrations. The sign of a true goal scorer.

KHL is Russia.

There is a KHL team in Beijing, Kunlun Red Star.

The CWHL (Canadian Women's Hockey League) is also going to have a team in China

The NHL is making a push to be at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, but 2018 in Korea is a no go.

As pointed out Frattin's team is based in China.  There are other KHL teams not based in Russia; Genoway's team last year, Jokerit, is based in Finland.  You may have seen when he did this:
