Kirill Petrov - 73rd pick by New York Islanders

Kirill Petrov, RW, Kazan (Russia) -- Petrov was NHL Central Scouting's No. 2-rated European skater, but he slipped due to issues surrounding the lack of a transfer agreement with the IIHF, and the fact that Petrov has three years left on the deal with his Russian team.
He was named the Top Forward at the Under-18 World Championships after totaling five goals and seven points.

Kirill looked like the real deal tonight vs Flyers. He looks like a quality top 6 PF.

Drool. He is so GOOD.

The wait is over.

Kiri broke his collar bone.

Krill is now officially coming to Isles training camp for 10-11 season! From his agent: "He is guaranteed to be at the prospect camp, Tynjynch told Point Blank. I have been speaking with Kirill every day to prepare for this. He wants to join the Islanders organization this year and start his career in their system."

[@budbowl77]

what is the name of the song you used for this video? Rumors have it that Charles Wang has given Garth Snow the green light to go all in to bring this guy to the Islanders

[@saulpaulus]

Might be worthwhile to use our second rounders to draft Kirill Kabanov and Ivan Telegin and eventually put them on a line with KP.

[@islesbelarus]

that's correct :)

[@saulpaulus]

Isn't a question of if but when Petrov will come. He wants to come and will when his contract is over if not before. As for Tavares, that's a silly comment. They said the same about Stammer last year and look at him now.

[@TheMetalChick]

@Smythtown94: Tavares Okposo Petrov = the "TOP" line! And it really would be.

[@Havencheese]

The future. Think about the future. That's something the Isles haven't done much of in the last 25 odd years. If we have to wait 2 years for him to come, then so be it as long as he ends up on Long island is all that matters...and why would he not wanna come to the big time - NHL?

[@budbowl77]

so says Petrov is not going to play in the NHL or get a shot here in north america? he plays in a league dominated by veterans where it's very hard for a young guy to crack the lineup..I think he'll play out his contract in Russia than make the jump to North America. Its just that simple.

@mardgn81 Ha- I was just watching this and I was like HUH? Clubbed out Maiden lol?
