I thought this warranted its own thread considering there were a lot of people who thought we should have drafted Kabanov, and were angry Flames picked Reinhart instead of this guy.

Kirill Kabanov is on his way to Sweden.
Kabanov, the Islanders’ third-round pick (65th overall) at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been assigned to MoDo of the Swedish Hockey League, the Isles announced on Friday. The move marks another big shift for Kabanov, a talented prospect that’s had a colorful past — to say the least (see here and here and here).

I think that it wasn't a bad pick for the Isles, IIRC they had a lot of picks in the first two rounds so they could take a risk on this guy, but I'm glad we evaded this basket case and got Max Power instead.
