Well, sort of. The Kings aren’t commenting on the record regarding the report that the KHL is displeased with the signings of Andrei Loktionov and Vjateslav Voinov. (That’s the AP’s spelling of his name, which is now the FOURTH version of his name I’ve seen.) Privately, they don’t believe there’s anything to the KHL’s allegations that the players were under contract in Russia at the time the Kings signed them.

Also, the Kings are very impressed with both players, off the ice. Both players signed and gave the Kings the option to send them wherever they choose, including North American junior hockey. Voinov (or is it Voynov?) never went back to Russia after the draft. He has stayed in Canada and is working out there. Loktionov has been in Los Angeles, living at least part of the time with Alexander Frolov and taking English immersion classes four hours a day.
