Flames signed Brodie in 2014 so he had played two half seasons and one full season.
Zaitsev's first season here he looked very good. He was getting the toughest match-ups and put up similar numbers to Brodie's 2013 season (except for his plus/minus)
Plus he played 7 seasons in the KHL which should mean something. I don't think there is as huge of a gap between the KHL and the NHL as we like to think. Look at Radulov this season.
