I would almost be more comfortable with Zadorov for 3-4 years to establish some Russian presence in the organization.

Russia produces too many quality players for our last notable Russian regular to be Oleg Saprykin.

We’re not their first choice obviously, so we can’t expect them to make the trek here if nobody else speaks the language.
