Saprykin has gone back to Russia to make some money. As for
Robitaille, the reason Murray brought him in is for depth and players
tend to play better, in some cases in their home town. He also left to
go play for more money, Russia is going to be thorn in our side for
years as hockey is really taking off there. They need north American
players in order to show them how the game is played and since we are
devoted to the sport and not afraid to get our noses dirty its a
perfect fit for them.

Different style of play and some different rules, but they indeed know how
to play the game just as well as North Americans.
Mostly they don't play in front of cameras and have multi-million dollar
contracts.
