This kid will be a great pick for a team like the Flyers that have nothing to lose by taking the risk although they really should be looking at a defenseman.
Not worried about the Flames taking him as Feaster would likely know it would lead to a pink slip for him and everyone involved in picking a Russian with such an important pick. After the ROR fiasco this team cannot afford to pick a guy that will always have the KHL tugging his jersey. I have no issues with drafting a Russian player but not to be your franchise player. They are just too flaky and the hassle of dealing with their agents and the KHL option just isn't worth it in a draft where there is a lot of available high end talent.
