Earlier in the week, a russian prospect watching account on twitter sent this little chestnut into the aether:
Sounds like Pavel Shen is close to reaching an agreement with his KHL team on terminating his current contract, expected to sign with #NHLBruins after that.

While interesting and this account does keep pretty good accuracy on stuff like this, it wasnt really worth much as news except for being a spicy rumor.
And then Pavel decided to make that dream a reality, according to Capfriendly:
Boston #Bruins have signed 2018 7th RD pick (212 overall) Pavel Shen to a 3 year Entry Level contract starting in 2019-20
$809,167 cap hit / $925,000 AAV
Shen's MHL contract with Tolpar UFA was terminated earlier this week allowing him to sign in Bostonhttps://t.
