Zaitsev has been dealt to Chicago from Ottawa along with a 2023 second-round pick and a 2026 fourth-round selection in exchange for future considerations.
Scouting Report
The rangy (6’2”) defenseman has the size to play a physical game in the NHL, though he needs to get stronger. Has not put up the kind of offensive numbers in the NHL that he did in his native Russia, but he is a decent passer and puck mover capable of playing major minutes. He has to develop more consistency.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent, minute-munching defenseman.
