I expect Igor to land on his feet.
Anyone who had no family, limited English, no money to speak of, and no plan to defect,who suddenly had to defect at once, and who managed to land on his feet can definitely do it again. I'm not sure how long it will take him to do it, but this is the less hockey season. Ice time should be able to be found--the problem is getting the rest of the stuff now required for a really first class program.
I don't expect he wants to be an undercoach at this point in his career...it may take him a while to get it set up, but I expect him to be in business again quite quickly.
