This is what TB's Head Scout said: "Kirill is a smaller defenseman that can really skate and move the puck well...He will go to Shattuck again next year and Cornell the season after that. He has an abundance of skill and sense. Kirill will have to get stronger due to his size, but he is definitely worth the gamble."

Hopefully they'll give him at least a few years with Cornell. Of course, Cornell has to fend off the WHL and the KHL as well.

rushing people into the organization seems somewhat ironic coming from one of the biggest busts in draft history...

Well, Bill Gates did at least *intend* to graduate originally.
