For once global politics could play a huge role in draft eligible Russians this year. I suppose I should say at least there's some validity to the Russians factor this year.
But, Bogdan Yakimov is in fact coming over this year to play in the AHL so Things may not transpire as we may think.
Still, if any of the top rated Russians like Goldobin, Scherbak or Barbashev fall to the Flames pick, I hope they take one.
