One, two Kirills here before you, how 'bout dat now
Here's something you didn't expect to wake up and read on Monday, June 1, 2015: the Islanders have reportedly signed 2008 third round pick Kirill Petrov to an entry level contract.
The news comes from a story in Russian sports business site Sport.business-gazeta.ru hilariously mangled via Google Translate. The report sounds as if Petrov, who plays for Ak Bars, couldn't agree to terms on a new contract with St. Petersburg SKA after a trade and has signed with the Islanders instead.
Of course, it also says he was selected by "New Jersey in the NBA draft" so I could totally be reading this thing wrong.
