Sv: Silly Season inför 06/07

WarhawK: Verkar vara fler ryssar på väg över Atlanten.

"Evgeny Malkin isn't the only Russian eager to join the National Hockey League, despite having a signed contract with a Russian Super League team for the coming season.

Forwards Alexei Mikhnov and Andrei Taratukhin have each given 14 days notice to Yaroslavl Lokomotiv saying they will not play in Russia. Instead, Mikhnov is close to signing with the Edmonton Oilers while Taratukhin is expected to sign with the Calgary Flames.

Both players are high draft picks who played for Russia at the 2006 world championship. Taratukhin also played for his country at the Turin Winter Olympics. The Russian Ice Hockey Federation is aware of what's happening with both players but is more interested in trying to keep Malkin from signing with the Pittsburgh Penguins."
