And everyone in the organization remained optimistic he'd be there at camp. Come on....really? They weren't pretty positive that that contract would make it highly unlikely he'd be on LI in Sept?

There were tickets and cupcakes to be sold along with a bridge.

I don't know why people had their hopes up about this kid coming over here this year......it was a long shot at best. Those Russian league contracts are usually iron clad.

We just have to wait til 11-12 to get a glimpse of him.

Notes: As I posted on Twitter around 1:30, the Kirill Petrov saga  is not over. According to a source, the Islanders and Petrov’s representatives are still trying to get the talented 2008 third round pick out of his KHL contract and into NYI training camp. The Islanders do not want the 20-year-old playing eight minutes a game - if he’s lucky - with Ak Bars. Give this one more week for the Islanders to kidnap him find a solution.

9:35 pm: The saga of Islanders prospect Kirill Petrov  is nearing the crisis stage. At risk: the proper development of a talented young hockey player who desperately wants to play in North America today.



Here’s where the story is now. Petrov’s team in the KHL, Ak Bars, has now played three regular season games in their 2010-11 season. Of the three, the 6-3 right wing has hit the ice for only one. In that game, Petrov played just 8:10.



In an email, a scout who attended the game wrote to Point Blank, “Petrov looked very, very good. He is young compared to most players in the KHL, but he did not look out of place. For the little time he got, I thought he was one of Kazan’s best players.”



Ak Bars is one of the deepest and dominant teams in the KHL. Petrov has two years remaining on the four-year deal he signed prior to the 2008 NHL Draft. The contract was the reason why such a skilled and powerful forward was available when the Islanders selected him with their third pick in the third round.



At Islanders prospect camp, Petrov stated that his wish was to join the Islanders organization this season. He has become fond of the franchise and comfortable with his teammates. Petrov insisted he had no problem with playing in the minors for a couple of years, if necessary.



It’s doubtful Petrov would have to wait that long. On the first day of rookie camp, one high-ranking member of the Islanders family told Point Blank, “I hope we get Petrov here. He could really help us - soon.” The implication was that Petrov was good enough to see NHL ice this season.



Despite the best efforts of agent Alexander Tynjynch, Petrov has so far been unable to secure his release from Kazan. Reached tonight on his cellphone, a frustrated Tynjynch said that he would continue to pursue a solution for his client “until next week. If nothing then, well…”



Few people, of course, are going to be sympathetic to Petrov. After all, he was the one who signed a committment to Kazan as an 18-year-old for the next four years of his life. He is earning enough money that one NHL team executive, in a conversation with PB, questioned his true commitment to the NHL. The Islanders also knew what they were getting into when they made the low-risk, high-reward pick of Petrov - after non-prospect David Toews and since-traded Jyri Niemi in the third round.



But here’s why this is news, and should be of concern to the Islanders and their fans. If his KHL team won’t set the 20-year-old Petrov free to at least attend Islanders training camp - during a time when Kazan has played him in a total of eight minutes in three games - why would anyone think Petrov will be made available to the Islanders a year from now?



If Petrov goes four years from his NHL draft date playing limited minutes in the KHL, the Islanders would have a poorly developed player by the time the summer of 2012 comes around. That would be a shame.



The good news? Point Blank asked NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly if the Islanders could bring the unsigned Petrov to New York at any time, even if the KHL season has already begun. Emailed Daly:



    Petrov has to be free of his contractual obligation in Russia before he would be eligible to play in the NHL. But there is no time limit or date by which that must happen.



In other words, if Ak Bars decided - next week, for example - to set Petrov free, he could still become an Islander. For the sake of a high-end talent, hopefully the Islanders, Tynjynch and Ak Bars can reach a settlement.

didn't we lend anton klementeyv to russia while he was on contract? one would think they would return the favor.


if these won't work....I will be willing for the sake of all islander fans to give them rick dipietro.

Dmitry Chesnokov  tweeted tonight that Kirill Petrov is on Ak Bars’ four-game road trip. From that, Dmitry reasons that Petrov will “most definitely not be coming to the NHL this year.” Just passing it along.

Don't players "defect" all the time? They should never have let him leave the Island after the prospects game.

What the hell could the Ruskies do? Start a war over it?

Then we could have said, look, we have the kid and he ain't leavin'. Take this $100k and let's call it a day.

I think part of the agreement between the KHL and NHL stipulates that if a player is under contract in the KHL he cannot play in the NHL until he is released.
