Unless Chiarelli is a liar the pick wasn't conditional.
As for the Russian he certainly has the offensive talents to be successful in the league. Whether or not his overall game or attitude will be enough for him to amount to anything is yet to be seen but he is a whole lot closer and more likely to amount to anything (especially something of value) than the two college kids we got. The fact that he left a KHL team this year to play in AHL at least shows some willingness to make it work in NA.
