We all have awkward photos from our childhood sitting somewhere in our parents' house. This week, we'll be posting the most awkward pictures from the draft. Today's victim: Alex Burmistrov, 1st round, Atlanta Thrashers.

Photographer: Ok, Alex. Let's see that smile, buddy.

Alex Burmistrov: OK. How you like this?

P: Um, not bad. Let's try and do something more with it. Can you like... I don't know... Point at the puck?

AB: Sure. In Russia we no have fancy camera man. Instead we have mule that remembers you.

P: Yeah... Just point at the puck, ok?

AB: Yes sir, American Camera Guy sir.
