Also mentioned is that there is confusion as to which agent actually represents Zaitsev as Friedman has been told 3 different names by 3 different people.
Ah yes, the Russian way!
You know which on is his agent? The one who gets him the most money!

From someone in the loop with the Nikita Zaitsev situation: He's set on the Leafs. Talks with other teams are basically contingency plans.

The other strange one was how little Russia used Nikita Zaitsev, the free-agent-defenceman-to-be. “We were hoping to see more of him,” the above scout mentioned. Another noted the Russians used Boston pick Maxim Chudinov more than Zaitsev. Chudinov’s been loyal to the KHL and Zaitsev is leaving, which could be a big factor. By the way, everyone’s convinced he’s is going to Toronto. If someone wants to take the field, there’s money to be won.The other strange one was how little Russia used Nikita Zaitsev, the free-agent-defenceman-to-be. “We were hoping to see more of him,” the above scout mentioned.
