dchesnokov tweets his latest bit of scuttlebut, but this time it features the Atlanta Thrashers! Check zee tweet, in Ass Mode if you please:
"Zubarev's agent told SovSport the player received an offer of a two-way contract from the Thrashers. (Andrei) Zubarev is expected to sign by weekend."
So, Andrei goes straight from "Atlant" (KHL's Mytishchi Atlant) to the Atlanta of America. Does this mean Andre 3000 of the famous group OutKast will pick him up in his fantasy hockey league? Wait, what?? He doesn't own a fantasy team!?? I'll ask him to join mine, that would be quite the coup! "Hey yeah!" that would be sublime. Andre's Outkasts could be his team name.
Anyway, it's nice to see our recently depleted "Russian quorum" get a jolt in the arm after the recent defections / subtractions of Ilya Kovalchuk, Slava Kozlov and Maxim Afinogenov(?). Zubarev, should he make the team this fall, would join um, uh, well, absolutely no one as the lone Thrashers' player of "Russian-born" descent. But best of all is the fact that Nik Antropov, from Kazakhstan, will now be able to employ the services of not just one, but two eastern European born rookies (Zubarev and Arturs Kulda) to carry his equipment off the ice to the locker room during training camp.

Both Kulda, from Latvia, and now Zubarev, who is from Ufa in Russia, have flourished growing up in perestroika-influenced countries where youngsters get to play lots of hockey. And now they can look forward to a taste of what the communist Soviet Union might have been like when training camp begins and they are treated worse than Dez Bryant at the hands of the merciless and ruthless Roy Williams.
