Zaitsev is very good defender, but that length might kill them in the future.
I'm not sure that's going to be such a great contract tbh.
Why are there two guys with the same name?
Mods can delete.

not sure if Marv was calling the game, but it was odd,
like in touch footbal in the park, when 1 guy QB'd both teams
Have no issues signing young players to deals that end when they are 31-33. I do have issues signing 31-33 year old players to 4 and 5 year deals. The deal the Russian kid got today is perfect for them and the player both in dollars and length.

There were 2 players named Stephane Richer in the NHL at the same time as well.
There's also a couple Sebastien Ahos and there were two Petr Sykoras in the NHL for a while.
There are also two Nikita Popugayev's in the upcoming draft.
For those that follow the WHL, one that has annoyed me all season is Sergey Zborovsky and Zachary Zborosky. Regina had to play Lethbridge last round, and it was driving me nuts, lol.
P.S. - Zborosky (a Candian BTW...not Russian) is an undrafted 21 year old that bloomed late. 41 goals this season. I expect to see him at some camps and end up with and AHL contract somewhere.
i hope not with the Rangers.
You don't think he has a shot at an AHL contract somewhere? He absolutely does. I know he was on the Rangers' Traverse roster last year...but can't remember how he performed, or if he even played. Anyway, NHL scouting rated him very favorably when he was draft eligible, but for some reason he was never drafted. He's been a bit over PPG in the W the last couple of seasons. He'll play Pro Hockey somewhere.
No option on him as a player. Don't want to deal with Z-bros names.
