TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. – Not that Ivan Vishnevskiy ever needs much of a confidence boost, but the young Stars defenseman received one late last season when he was called up for three games and played well. "It was a good thing, a big help," Vishnevkiy said Sunday before the Stars prospects were defeated, 9-6, in their opening game at the NHL Prospects Tournament at Centre Ice Arena. "I...

A few comments from Sergei Zubov , provided by the KHL (more pictures here ): "When I decided to play in the KHL for SKA, I hoped that I would play at the same level I did in the NHL. Now I think I have come to the peak of my physical form. I would not like to predict, but I hope that during the season I will [play at] my former level. "The last two weeks I just could not sleep, thinking...

At first glance, I have a hard time trying to figure out why an arbitrator awarded Nikolai Zherdev $3.9 million. That’s a pretty hefty price tag for such an enigmatic player, and it feels like it’s paying more for potential than anything else. Here’s the thing. If I’m a GM, I’d have a difficult time taking Zherdev at even his qualifying number of $3.25 million. The guy...

Sergei Zubov ( right ) is on the verge of bolting to the KHL . We won't ever rule anything out, but given that he's 38, this all but ends his NHL career. It might be hard to remember given how many injuries he had dealt with the past few seasons, but Zubov was one of the best defensement in the NHL for at least a decade. He has 771 career points, the 18th best total all-time among defensemen . Considering...

I’m very surprised Sergei Zubov is close to signing a KHL deal. Zubov is 39 and coming off an injury-plagued season, but I would think there might be a few NHL teams interested in signing one of the game’s all-time great offensive defensemen. If nothing else, Zubov could probably quarterback the powerplay as a special teams-type [...] Related posts: CHL Grabs NHLers Shanahan Right for Jersey...

After a 16-year NHL career, Sergei Zubov is heading home as the 39-year old blueliner has signed with SKA St. Petersburg of the KHL. Zubov, who has spent his last 12 seasons with the Stars, only played 10 games with Dallas in 2008-09 because of a hip injury that required surgery. The Moscow-native was drafted by the New York Rangers in 1990 with the 85th overall draft pick. ... Zubov has 152 goals...
