Ilya Solovyov is spending his summer in Belarus. He participated as an instructor in the Raubichi camp for kids. Before the quick tidbid they mentioned that Solo actually broke 4 panes of glass while playing in Raubichi the one year, which I find oddly impressive.
Here's a quick quote from him regrading next season:

Nothing earth shuttering, but I really hope either he or Kuzy takes that 3LD spot with the Flames, while both Parekh and Brz push on the right side.

As a side note,CSKA Moscow, the same team that Okhotyuk signed with, extended its rights to Yan Kuznetsov about a month back. I'm guessing they wish things don't work out for him in NA, and he returns to the KHL.
