The last CPHL draft I participated in I drafted four Russians, two of which are playing in the NHL right now (Enver Lisin and some guy named Malkin or something like that).
If he's got the talent that people are saying he does then the team that chooses him will do everything to get him over here. I read a report on NHL.com from the guy who has been following the draft from Ottawa and he seems to indicate Petrov seems very excited about the whole thing and loves to talk about Ovechkin and that Malkin guy. I think it is promising.
