Pavel Karnaukhov is headed to the KHL

In a development that you can file under "Things That Make Me Go Hmmm...," the Calgary Hitmen revealed today in a press release that Calgary Flames prospect Pavel Karnaukhov has signed with CSKA Moscow (Central Red Army) of the Kontinental Hockey League.

Incidentally, the press release that had this information was sent out to remind media of tomorrow's Canadian Hockey League Import Draft. The Hitmen have two import spots to fill (due to the departure of Karnaukhov and Philadelphia Flyers prospect Radel Fazleev) and two import draft picks, while the Flames drafted two players over the weekend (Sweden's Linus Lindstrom and Finland's Eetu Tuulola) that could be up for grabs in that draft.
