As an aside, Zadorov also mentioned in a Russian interview during the playoffs that he started the season with his arm not rehabbing to 100% in terms of it's strength. He attributed it to the shorter break in between seasons. He expects this off-season to bey key in getting his arm back to 100%. He said that getting back to the usual NHL schedule/rythm will get everything back to speed.

When asked about a potential trade to WPG, he said to not believe in fake news, and that he wouldn't go anywhere(not sure which way he meant it).

The interview if anyone's interested(in russian).

PS: if you guys want there's another long interview in russian, where he discusses everything from training to contract negotiations with CHI. The interview was posted only 3 days ago. And there he said that it was a very unprofessional journalist that wrote he was asking for $6M a season. He said that he knew what he was worth from comparable players, but that is definitely not $6M a season.
