Last week the sudden arrival of Daniil Zharkov at Condors camp caused a stir since no one expected the Oilers once highly thought of draft pick was still in the mix.
The experiment didn’t last long, though, due to unfortunate circumstances. Zharkov tore the ACL in the same knee that forced him out of action last season. He’s expected to undergo surgery in Bakersfield and will be out for 6-to-9 months.
Really bad news for Daniil:

Dang. Poor kid.
Ouch, that's really rough. He was on a PTO. I wonder if the Oilers will look after him during his rehab or if he'll be on his own?
