Prospect Info: #205 Yegor Zaitsev (LD)

[Billdo]

The odds of a 7th Round pick becoming an NHL starter are crazy small.

Especially when you go so far "off the board"

Hey man, we might have missed out on the next Pavelski, who went 205th overall.

Devils' scouts found another 1 year overaged Russian D named Yegor with a "C" on his jersey and decided that this deja vu is worth a pick.

Is he worth any interest?

Is he worth any interest?

Interest - definitely. 7th round pick too - he is basically a lock for a Russia WJC roster spot (at least it looks like that at the current point). But so far it more 'tools no toolbox' thing, so not sure what to expect from him. And also he is only 6'0", not sure if it will be enough to play physical game at NHL level.

Hope to see him come over and tryout for the team this off-season. Always want a chance to see what you have in your prospects

worst for him is he goes back home and makes some more money

Younger brother Oleg also skating with Dynamo as a 20-year-old. Could be an interesting player to bring over as a forward next year if there is a development camp.

I haven't seen him play since WJC. It be nice if he ended up a good bottom pair defensmen. His off the puck stats scare me a little bit.
