Ryan O'Reilly is ready for KHL debut on Wednesday with Metallurg Magnitogorsk and he's already enjoying his time in Russia alongside brother Cal O'Reilly. "It's very strange, lots of new things, but fun," O'Reilly told R-Sport. "As for the arena, the rink is very nice. My brother said it was good but after getting here and seeing it myself I know it's all really nice." He also doesn't expect there to be a tough transition to European play with North American coach Paul Maurice behind the bench.
