[edit] Career start

Shouldn't Cherepanov's pro career start be listed as 2006, when he began playing for Avangard Omsk or should it be whenever he begins his NHL career? David7581 18:16, 24 June, 2007 (UTC)

I've checked a few other Russian player articles and they do have pro start dated as rookie RSL. IrisKawling 22:33, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Career start should always be first pro season, for example first season in the SEL, RSL, or the NHL (mostly for North American players). --Krm500 22:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Promise to Omsk

Should it be mentioned that Cherepanov has said that he would play the next season for Avangard Omsk? [1] --David7581 21:15, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

He does have a 2 years on his contract with Omsk remaining. At the draft he said he would only play 1 more year, and give 2 weeks notice and play in the nhl for 08-09. However recently translations of an interview with russianprospects.com came out in which he said he intends on honoring the 2 year contract. Conflicting reports might not be best for the article..

How about mentioning that he has a 2-year contract, but whether he'll play the 2nd year is disputed? That might work alright. --David7581 02:47, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
