Hitmen Forward Pavel Padakin has earned a rookie camp invite for the Flames. Did not attend development camp as he was offered an invite by the Montreal Canadiens for that camp:

He was set up to play in the KHL in the Ukraine, but due to the rebels burning down the arena, he has no team. He's also an overager and an import and the Hitmen have two other import players on the roster. Chances are, he will be pushed off the Hitmen roster this year.
On the upside, he is a Right Wing and has a right shot. I doubt he would get a roster spot, but he could be good in Addy and just to have another right shooting RW in the system.
