What can you say about him, i have never seen him play.
Not the best player on earth, a good two-way player, as CSKA said some PP skills, I think in the NLA he can be rather a high-end player, but not top of the league.

No, not kidding. If you check the CBA (http://www.nhl.com/cba/2005-CBA.pdf), you will see that as a 2008 draft pick, NYI could offer him $875K base salary that he could double with performance and signing bonuses. The CBA doesn't say anything about a lower max for later draft picks. And he will turn 22 before signing any contract with the Isles, which means his ELC only has to be for 2 years. After that, he will be a free agent and make the big bucks... if he's really that good.
I suspect he will sign a contract that says that he can go back to Kazan if he doesn't make the NYI NHL roster
I think the issue will be the contract Petrov is offered. A 2 way or a 1 way deal.
On a 1 way contract then yes he would earn the NHL base salary, but as a foreign unproven player with no NA skating experience I highly doubt Garth Snow's office offers a 1 way deal.
With a 2 way deal he is assigned to the AHL and rides the buses while trying to adjust to a new country, new system...
Not even to mention language, which if you have ever lived overseas can be a very difficult adjustment. I don't know how Petrov's English is but that is also a major factor.
Going to a training camp without a contract is probably impossible too.
anyone knows what Andrei Vasilevski's contract status is in Russia?
Your question isn't answerable without inside information from SY. And I'm not convinced it really matters as he wouldn't be NHL ready for quite some time, so he can stay put even if he has some long term deal with Ufa already.

Can somebody here discuss Sergei Shirokov's strengths and weaknesses? I followed him closely with the Vancouver Canucks and knew he wasn't given a fair shot. He had a terrific season this year, but I'd like to know what sort of things he's been doing in order to be successful.
Does he have any chance of participating in this year's IIHF World Championship?

Good offensive player, good finisher, could use more speed, IMHO he actually may squeak onto the WC roster.
I was hoping that somebody could give me an update on Alex Pechurskiy? He was drafted by the Penguins and played part of a game for them in an emergency a few seasons ago. Since then he ran into trouble finding a home. I cannot find any information on him and wonder if he would still be in the Penguins' plans.
Is there any place to see KHL injury list? Is Kulikov injured and if so what is it?
I don't know if all list is available anywhere but the teams' injured players can be found on team's profile and all the updates can be found on "Изменения в составах команд" ("Changes in the teams' rosters") although I believe there's no such thing in English version.
Kulikov was removed from injury list yesterday:
Изменения в составах команд на 18 декабря
Локомотив
- переведен из списка травмированных защитник Куликов Дмитрий
