I'm thinking it will probably come out that Edmonton wasn't the only team that put a claim in.

Still kinda surprised he made it that far down the list.

The NHL is now a skating league and Zykov isn't an NHL level skater. To his credit, he knows what he has to do as a player without the high skill level to compensate for that: plant himself in front of the net.

I think there's a niche for a player of his ilk somewhere. Perhaps Edmonton is that place.

A bit of hyperbole in this thread. Always liked Zykov- hope he can carve out a role with the Oil.

I thought it was funny how everyone was like wtf how is this dude on waivers and i hope my team claims him. Most organizations have guys like him in the system already...I mean I like EDM trying to catch lightning in a bottle here, but not expecting much. Rattie put up similar numbers in the A and had similar hype when he was gonna get a shot with McD.

HF loves their U25 wavier wires with some draft pedigree.
