It’s fair to say that the Minnesota Wild came to mind when I saw Elliotte Friedman mentioning Konstantin Okulov in his latest ’31 Thoughts’ column.
‘… others were watching undrafted forward Konstantin Okulov. Now 23, he can’t come over until summer 2020, but can score.’ – Elliotte Friedman (31 Thoughts)
His exact words don’t give anything away in regards to teams, but you’ve got to assume that Paul Fenton was watching, given the Russian revolution the team may be set to undergo.
What makes it more intriguing is that he plays for the same KHL team as Kirill Kaprizov, who we know Fenton was there to see.
