No one this summer has provided better reporting on Michael Nylander's purgatory status with the Caps than Sovetsky Sports' Dmitry Chesnokov. More of that reporting is found in today's Examiner. Chesnokov reports that none other than Nylander's former linemate, Jaromir Jagr, told his outlet recently that he detailed life with his KHL club Omsk for the Capitals' beleaguered center."Nylander himself dialed my number. [He was] asking me about Omsk, about
the team. I replied that Avangard is a strong team with a huge devoted
army of fans. In the West KHL is not that well known. You have to
explain to a lot of players that the Russian championship is serious," Jagr said.
