Probably when the votes have been counted?
No need to be saucy, I'm only wondering when they'll be released.

Look at the friggin' coaching in this draft! Bruce Boudreau has four NHL regular seasons to his career and a 2-4 disappointing playoff record, underperforming based on expectations all around.
Coach Bobrov has four years of excellence: 1967, 1972, 1973, 1974 in which he took an underdog Spartak team to the championship over the vaulted Tarasov-coached Red Army team, coached the Soviet national team to within a period of upsetting Canada in arguably the greatest series ever played to that date in hockey history, then went on to two world championships over a reputable Czechoslovakian national team that had just defeated them the year before.
This is exactly the draft for coach Bobrov if Boudreau is a "good pick" because the four-year playoff-challenged coach won a Jack Adams Award once. PLUS, Davos has a quality longstanding coach as an assistant coach, whereas Boudreau plays on a AAA team with no assistant coach drafted, as does many other teams.
Talk about dubious competition, look at the early generation Czechoslovakian coach Buckna for the Mallards of this draft. A pre-Tarasov international coach? Of course, the AAA team wisely has an assistant coach in Glen Sonmor to compliment the strengths and cover the weaknesses. Davos has likewise.
Leo Dandurand for the Cougars in this draft may be a HHOF builder and great exec but he really only had four significant years behind the bench, leading the Habs to the cup once over those few years. He had two losing record seasons after that to his career as coach. That is ballpark to Bobrov in terms of career and peak accomplishments as a coach. And, the Cougars drafted no assistant coach.
Bobrov with King as assistant works just fine in this draft. Bobrov is by no means out of place compared to some other team picks made.
