Shawn Hutchinson is back to break down more trades in a whirlwind week, and he's also got suggestions for your roster that can help you navigate the tricky week ahead.
Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headed back to KHL?
Zaitsev is expected to sign a multi-year deal with KHL club SKA St. Petersburg, per Sport Express on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Zaitsev appeared in just 38 NHL games with the Blackhawks this season in which he recorded two goals on 31 shots, five assists and 69 hits while averaging a mere 15:56 of ice time. It seems the Russian blueliner would rather return home than try his luck in free agency come July 1. If that's the case, it could mark the end of Zaitsev's NHL career. If that ends up being the case, he'll finish with 118 points through 482 NHL games.

Zaitsev's usage was way down last season, as he averaged just 18:59 of ice time per game compared to a career-high 22:44 two seasons ago. Zaitsev managed 36 points in his 2016-17 rookie campaign with Toronto, but he hasn't posted more than 17 points in five years since. There was a time Zaitsev was a fringe option in league's which value hits and blocks, but even that has gone out the window with his reduced role. Look elsewhere on draft day.
