from Jeff Z. Klein of Slap Shot at the NY Times,
The Russians were right.
Defenceman Joel Kwiatkowski, who was reported to have signed with the Atlanta Thrashers earlier this week, already has a two-year contract with SKA St. Petersburg and will return to Russia to play for SKA this season.
“After agreeing to terms on a contract with Joel Kwiatkowski, we learned that he had already committed to a team in the K.H.L.,” said Atlanta general manager Don Waddell in response to an e-mail inquiry late Thursday. “Therefore we have rescinded our offer and have been told that Joel will honor his agreement with St. Petersburg.”
