When I saw this guys name - I immediately thought about that Kings Killer from Minnesota.

Another solid pick - kid has game.

Let's hope OUR Kirill turns out to be as good as CapriSun!

I'm hearing he was projected as an early 2nd rounder, so this is sounding pretty decent.

Also, The Mayor pointed out that he was a teammate of Vladimir Tkachyov, who we recently signed back in May.

I like this quote from Elite Prospects:

Physically stronger than most of his peers.. he might have the best defensive stick in the entire 2002 class.

The comparison I saw is Bjornfot without the offense. If that's his upside that sounds great. Getting a reliable defensive D would be great.
