The GM of Zaitsev's KHL team was some guy named Sergei Federov. I think there's some connection to Shanahan but can't put my finger on it...
Joking aside Federov specifically identified Zaitsev as someone Shanahan would be interested in.
The current Leafs org has A LOT of clout in Russia. Shanahan was always a big supporter of Russian players in NA, and we got Lou Lam who was the architect that brought the first Russian import (defector) to North America.
T'aint no coincidence.
Lou lam had something to do with mogilny?
Thought that was buffalo not nj.
