Fresh Links: Russia Best)))))) Edition

So today it's all about the Russians, from coast to coast - while Alexander Khokhlachev made it official yesterday that he's headed home to play in the KHL for his dad this season, Nail Yakupov got up to some shenanigans on twitter that are reminiscent of Alex Ovechkin (if Ovie came without a filter). As well, the CHL's import draft is tomorrow.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Hall of Fame inductees, too - hopefully this year they don't screw up their selections.

After the jump, more on the Bruins' draft choices, Rick Nash to Ottawa? Adam Oates is going to coach in DC! and more...
