Back in August of 2018 when the Philadelphia Flyers invited the lanky, Russian defenseman to take part in their rookie camp, little did anyone know that just a few weeks later they’d be signing him to an entry level contract. But after a strong showing in rookie - and subsequently training - camp, Yegor Zamula had earned himself just that.
Now, one year removed from signing his entry level deal, the comparisons to Philippe Myers go well beyond the two being tall, undrafted defensemen who just so happened to attend the Calgary Flames’ development camp prior to signing with Philadelphia.
