In this interview (in russian) Rafikov says:

"I'm happy to be drafted, but I am committed to Lokomotiv as I have two-years contract with them. I didn't know if I will get drafted or not, so I went to sleep after watching first round. I got up in the morning and saw Calgary Flames twitter following me, so I got it that they drafted me. My english sucks, but I'm going to hire a teacher and learn it. If my career won't pan out in Russia, I will come over there and try to prove myself. I hope, I will change their opinion about Russian players. From former Flames I know Kravchuk, Bortschevsky, Val Bure, Anton Babchuk and Jarome Iginla".
