The Hunters won't keep him as a OA import unfortunately. He would take up two very import spots on the roster. You will have your answer when the import draft happens.Gazizov didn't get drafted. If no team signs him, does he come back to london or does he go back to Russia?

Because if we keep him, he takes up 1 of 3 Overager spots AND 1 of 2 import spots. That is not good asset management by the Hunters.
They will release him and hopefully some team in the OHL that can’t pull in their own targeted players reach out to the Knights to see if he would report to their team.

My father hung me on a hook once....once.
Ya I originally thought the same but it all depends who's coming back as another possible OA. With the number that Gaz has been putting up taking two spots might end up being worth it at the end. We will have to wait and see.
He will get a free agent invite to an NHL camp and will probably sign an AHL contract.
We’ve seen Gazizov play his last game in London.

I thought the same thing and then Parekh was drafted ahead of Dickinson so I guess anthing can happen.
Was reading pyettes article this morning, he said ustinkov informed the Knights that he wouldn't report this season. That's why london released his rights

I wonder if this is the reason he went undrafted. Maybe he plans to stay in Europe long term. To be ranked 2nd/ 3rd round and go undrafted seems a bit strange.
those rankings are not always based on live in person viewings and more on hype. small defencwman need to be elite for the nhl
Since Gazizov and Halttunen will be protected, it will be interesting to see what the Knights do in the import draft. Here are some people I’m hoping the Knights take…
Luka Radivojevic - elite smooth skating offensive D. Signed with Sweden, but was rumoured to be interested in coming to NA.
Emil Hemming - Kasper Halttunen 2.0. Has one year left with his pro team in Finland, but if he signs an ELC that could be nullified.
Konsta Helenius - smart player see similarities to Mitch Marner in terms of playing style but not as high a ceiling. Would be a cool darkhorse pick.

Another one to watch is Yegor Surin. Would be a higher skilled upgrade on Max Mccue, hits everyone that moves, loves to fight, but would put up better offensive numbers. Not sure if he has any interest in coming over but would likely be at the top of a lot of lists.

Knights PR said that the Knights are expected to make 2 selections. Halttunnens rights are protected. Not sure about gazizov at this point
