That’s why you don’t draft Russians.

It certainly adds a bit of pause to doing so.
The thing that would bite the most, is Minny drafted him, and unlike the rest of his classes draftees, he wasn't here, working for it, signing a few deals before asking the moon.
One season...instant high end contract.
Little to work for.
Even if you parallel it to Panarin, the hawks got a reasonable time to see what he was and use the first deal to win, and even got time to plan out what/when the bigger contract actions were going to be sign/trade etc.
