In fact, the Flames haven’t picked a future NHLer directly out of Russia’s junior system since goalie Andrei Trefilov in 1991. (You might be wondering about Oleg Saprykin and German Titov, but one skated as a teen in the WHL and the other in Finland.

Wasn't Rushan Rafikov picked out of the Russian junior system? Yaroslavl Loko Jr is in the Russian system, right, or am I overlooking something?

Either way, hopefully Matveiko will at least come over. He really is such a mystery right now other than simply counting stats (thanks Sandman for keeping us updated on him!).
