Numbers wise this guy looks absolutely top notch,his numbers are pretty unreal really.
The problem is though,that's all we have to go on and over not too many games either,but he could well be a great goalie.
Could we afford to take a chance on him being our no1 ?
No I don't think we could,but unless our other import goalie is serious quality,I can see the pair of them having a real dogfight for the no1 spot.

wmib2016.iihf.com/en/news/ukraines-rising-star/Interview Zakharchenko published during the last world championships..... Determined to improve himself. Wants to play in the Olympics & the NHL. Good luck to him. Though EIHL to NHL isn't exactly a known pathway progression. Though I'm very much looking forward to seeing him play.

I saw a KHL fan comment on Zakharchenko saying that he never took the step up to the VHL or KHL due to him being classed as foreign, and the Russians obviously choosing Russians over Ukrainians most days of the week.
Still looking forward to seeing him play!

Still looking forward to seeing him play! Possibly so but he was actually born in Russia and is technically a Russian/Ukrainian dual national. So I'd assume he had a Russian passport first and foremost or at least be eligible for one. Looking at his stats in the MHL the season he moved to Ukraine they weren't good. About 83.9 save percentage if I recall correctly. I also read somewhere that his parents moved back to the Ukraine at some point. That move could have coincided with that season and he just went with them. That though is pure supposition on my part. |
