From Tom Reed of the Columbus Dispatch:
The agent said Filatov, the No. 6 overall pick, already has been through the interview process and U.S. officials have his passport on file. Filatov probably won’t leave Russia immediately, Meehan said. The forward will spend a little more time at home before flying to Columbus.
Meehan also reiterated that the pending IIHF ruling regarding the disputed contracts of Filatov and five other players will have no bearing on his decision to play for the Jackets’ organization.

Filatov always intended on playing in the NHL (this made him more appealing to the Jackets at draft time), so we should expect to see him at training camp next month. By all accounts, he could become quite a difference-maker.
The veteran journalist shares his insight.
