COMING OVER FROM RUSSIA

�'Welcome, Dmitri‼️
General Manager Ryan Johnson announced today that the club has signed forward Dmitri Zlodeyev to a one-year contract for the 2023-24 AHL season.''
A 5'11'' and 183 pounds centerman, Zlodeyev has, up until now, only played in Russia. In his first entire season with the professionals last year, he collected one assist through 18 KHL games and 13 points through 33 games VHL games (Russia's 2nd Tier Pro Hockey).
The Russian had received his first invite to the team's official training camp. It appears his performances were good enough to get him a contract.
