Why he might be annoying:

    He is undersized for a forward.
    He played on three different teams in the 2006 calendar year.

    His scoring abilities declined during his later seasons.
    He was one of many European teenage players who opted to hone their skills in the IHL rather then the developmental leagues.
    He received the nickname 'The Magical Muscovite' while playing in Boston.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Unlike Joe Thornton, he lived up to his draft billing during his rookie season.
    He was a skilled forward during his prime years.
    He was instrumental in the Oilers surprise Stanley Cup Finals run (2006).
    He was the first Bruin rookie in 18 years to win the Calder Trophy (1998).
