Bob McKenzie:
Potential 2017 1st round RUS prospect Klim Kostin's season appears over. Underwent shoulder surgery on Jan. 18. Four-month timeline.
 
That makes his draft ranking extremely interesting.

Hes such an unknown and very hard to rank based on what hes done internationally. Inconsistent.

A strong 5 nations and an under 18 wouldve helped him but now he wont play

Anyone know how these CHL import draft rules work? How do the 3 leagues compete for overseas talent and are there limits ?
 
There are definitely limits, maybe only 2 or 3 imports per team? There was also talk of banning import goalies, because it was slowing down the development of Canadian born goalies.
