We should be happy he even cracked the cska roster. A lot of people view the RSL as the second best league in the world. They like to put their young players on the fourth line, till they earn a spot on the top 2 lines. Keep in mind, these kids have very little experience playing against men(kasty played most of last year in the jr) at such a fast pace game. Its like here, you very rarely take a rookie and put him on the first line in his first nhl game. You would kill his confidence. Let him ajust to the pro game, and as he gets better, move him up the depth carts. I think he might end up playing the second line by the end of the year.
