Andy Boron, from Buffalo Sabres sister site Die By The Blade, was kind enough to answer some of Avalanche fans' burning questions. Thanks, Andy!
What kind of player are the Avalanche getting in Zadorov?
Zadorov has the potential to be a very special player, but every good thing he does tends to come with something he also needs to improve. First things first, though -- the dude is an absolute beast on skates at 6'5'', 220lbs. He will lay down some of the biggest hits you'll see all year, but often puts himself out of position in doing so.
