I've always thought that zaitsev needs to have a stabilizing partner like Hainsey rather than trying to be one for Gardiner. He doesn't seem to be utilized properly by Babcock and it's hurting him
Russian fans have said that they’ve found it interesting how Babcock was/is trying to turn Zaitsev into a defensive defenseman. It’s clear he has great offensive instincts but we’re trying to make him into something he’s clearly not. Hopefully we can let him loose offensively
Get him a partner who's main focus is D like De Haan.Never going to happen as long as he's playing with Gardiner. Now that he is more familiar with the NHL and Rielly has more familiarity against top level competition, they may be able to work well together the second time around, but Gardiner is an anchor on any defensive pairing when it comes to allowing his partner to do things offensively.
Zaitsev is either going to have to play with Rielly, Dermott (who may not be ready for the type of minutes Zaitsev will be getting) or we need to trade Gardiner and get someone better than him.
He went from 2:00 minutes of PP time to 13 seconds or something similar. Why they used Komarov and Brown over him on the PP over him boggles my mind. He also had some injury issues. His play at this tournament is very encouraging going into next season.Russian fans have said that they’ve found it interesting how Babcock was/is trying to turn Zaitsev into a defensive defenseman.
