Sure, but of those players, Bracco was drafted and played in the AHL and couldn't make the NHL, and both Sylvegard and Aktell recently had North American contracts terminated.
Simple fact is there are not a lot of Panarins out there. Even when top guys come over (Shipachov) they don't impress. Kuzmenko had a year with an insane shooting percentage and one really hot streak with the Flames.
