RIP Fugu
To be clear, he not shown anything either way about coming or staying.
He says he would consider coming to NA when he is ready
If your spending a #3 pick in draft on someone who already is committed to not coming over next 2 years and then you have no assurances he wont sign another contract in Russia it is a concern
A guy like Svec last year was easy pick given talent and fact he was playing in NA with no commitments to Russia or desire to play in Russia over NHL
This is not comparable situation
And guys like Vasilevskiy and Samsonov both expressed desire to make immediate jump to NA when KHL contracts were up before draft to teams
