Yawn. Say that last week as well. All is fine.

I'm not worried about him being deported to go fight Russia.

I'm saying that the Finnish government trying to hold him to mandated military service is absurd.

He's getting $12M this season, I think he'll be ok.

It’s not absurd and conscription has been around in Finland for a long time. You just must be new to hockey. He either needs to sacrifice a few summers to complete his mandatory service or pay the fine. Basically every Finn has faced the same dilemma.

Fair enough. I'm not trying to debate the merits or drawbacks of required military service. And he's an outlier even as an NHL player.

I didn't grow up next door to ze Russians.
