Trukhno sighting

In finding where Jordan Bendfeld's been playing the past month, I ran into an old Oilogosphere friend.

Slava Trukhno has been found. He's playing in the ECHL this year for the Bakersfield Condors. I'm quite shocked he didn't bugger off back to Russia the first chance he got after playing out his entry-level deal with the Oilers.

He appears to be doing quite well for himself in the ECHL, scoring at over a point-per-game pace with the Condors (36GP 9-31-40) and has even managed a brief re-call to the Peoria Rivermen, farm team of the St. Louis Blues (3GP 1-1-2).

It's a far cry from where many of us originally thought him to be at this stage in his professional career, but at least he's still doing what he enjoys.

As an additional note, March's prospect stats are compiled, I'll hopefully have them up soon.
