In the dark days of the Communism, Stalin and other “Great Leaders” were known to “disappear” uncomfortable people for the regimes. It took so long for Evgeni Medvedev to finally play outside Russia, it would be ironic if he came to America only to be disappeared.
Medvedev got off to a pretty strong start for the Philadelphia Flyers this year. He wasn’t pulling the toughest minutes or matchups, but he looked pretty good in the chances allotted to him. He skates well, manages the puck very well, and has a nice shot from the point. If anything, it looked like his team responsibilities would expand as the season unfolded.
