Words are fine and kudos to Filatov for "saying the right things" for the most part, but actions ultimately will show us who this kid is -- not what he says.

You're right. His actions so far have shown dedication to playing in the NHL. Until his actions take him to the KHL, words shouldn't be taken out of context.
EDIT: One big difference between Foote and Filatov, though, is that Filatov is being honest about his feelings and possible intentions where as Foote lied and manipulated his situation.

Any questions?
And again, I have no problem "chastising" him. And I think deserves some critisim for his comment. I'll say it one last time, just shut your trap and play Nikki.
As I said before, this feels to me like Methot last year more then anything. And I think I said about the same thing in that case as well. I wasn't upset with Methot then, or Nikki now.

Yeah, I read that post. That's why I was surprised you even decided to respond. At any rate, his entire response should be evaluated as a whole. That was my point in my response.
And I don't think this is the same as Methot. Methot was disappointed and felt slighted by not having a chance before last season. Filatov has his chance now and he's expressing willingness to work hard and earn his spot.
