Ahh, thank you, thank you. Hopefully soon I'll get what I came for. Ever since reading up on him a few months ago in a Russian thread, I've been excited to hear more news...

Glad to see this is going somewhere ... is it because us Penguins fans are snatching Malkin from the clutches of the cult known as Metallurg Hockey School?

He's played for Vityaz' during the offseason (at least I believe so), it seems like him, Kostromitin and Berdnikov are back in Russia. I assume none of them got drafted and that's the reason for that?

Is this guy still in the black hole of hockey? Also, other guys in the black hole - Samsonov, turned up in NHLPA game in Windsor ON with all of the Detroit Red Wings not in Eurpope + other local NHLers. The other guy Yashin, apparently has packed it in to become the GM of the womans National team. The other guy Kabanov who I thought also went into the black hole was in fact injured by a skate laceration on his hand which will keep him out long term. Am I missing anyone in the black hole?

2 months ago I would say Filatov was in the black hole, but it looks like he is coming out of it slowly. Still far away from his potential. Grachev could sort of be added to the list...

Also, how is Bobkov doing? He was supposed to be an excellent goalie and kind of disappeared.

Ya Bobkov is starting slow in the AHL, must be backing up. Filatov started slow too, but was flying last game, all over the ice. Hope he continues, as much as people burn him for various reasons, when he's on his game he is fun to watch.
