Nagy latest NHLer to jump to Russian Super League (USA Today)

Left wing Ladislav Nagy views his decision to sign a $5.6 million, two-year deal to play in the Russian Super League as a temporary stop and not a long-term plan.

“Nagy fully intends to come back to the NHL if he can find a situation where he will be given the minutes in order to produce at the elite level he is capable of,” said his agent, Matt Keator.

Nagy, 29, played only 38 games (scoring nine goals) for the Los Angeles Kings last season because of injury, and while other NHL teams had interest in Nagy, they weren’t offering as much as Cherepovets.

At least with all these over the hill and never got up the hill players signing in russia, the Kings will not be able to sign them, at least not again.

See ya Nagy. Come back, you wish, when you grow up. Once a slacker, always a slacker

I thought Vancouver would end up signing him, but even they arent dumb enough to shell out that kind of cash.

By the way, are they still dumb enough to chase Sundin?

I am really glad to see that he is skating again let alone being able to play hockey after talking to him at Tip A King last season!

I wish him all the best!

Nagy--what a waste. Awful, uninspired play. No loss for the Kings. Hopefully DL can find a more rewarding way for the Kings to get above the salary floor...
