## Resource

KHL kicks off early with a wild new twist—no finals rematch, just pure chaos from day one. While the Hurricanes skip drafting Russian talent this year, their radar’s still locked on unsigned prospects like Nikita Artamonov, a gritty young winger bouncing between teams to sharpen his edge. Also in the mix: Vladimir Grudinin, a slick-skating defenseman with NHL upside despite his smaller frame, and Alexander Rykov, a rising forward whose production is climbing fast—and might stay put in Russia to keep developing. All eyes on these KHL gems as they chase their big-league dreams. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
