Morozov Too Pricey

Word is that Aleksey Morozov is too pricey for General Manager Ray Shero. Shero said that he did have a conversation with Jay Grossman, Morozov's representative, at the June 25 entry draft in Vancouver, but that his asking price is just too high. Morozov, who has been playing at a Super Star level in the Russian Super League and is the league's reigning MVP, is believed to be seeking at least $3,000,000 per season. He does have a 3 year deal signed with Ak Bars Kazan in Russia, if he doesn't find work in the NHL.
