There is word of a snag in Vadim Shipachyov's status. He may have to fulfill another year in Russia before coming to the NHL.

Apparently, this came up yesterday and involves an option in his KHL contract
The Canadiens were the frontrunner, and an announcement could have been made today. But it looks like they might have to wait.
Shipachev/Shipachyov had 60 points in 54 games (KHL) this year. Maybe the Flames still have a bit of a chance with this guy. Although he's not exactly what we're looking for.
