Short term might mean they want to see how he fits in with the team before signing him long term at the end of the season. If he fits well with the team than the signing could be a risk but if he doesn't fit well with the team a one year deal would allow the team to walk away as well.

Salary seems expected for a 4/5 defenseman. I'm guessing he'll play on the second pair with Andersson to start the season. If Valimaki steps up this season could see Zadorov drop to the third pairing with PK time.
