I have been privy to secure an interview with Daniil Zharkov, 3rd round pick of your Edmonton Oilers in the past draft. Every time I do an interview I find it a great opportunity for fans to contribute by letting them ask any questions they have on their mind of said prospect.
For this I am leaving it up to you. If you have any questions you would like answered, don't hesitate to ask. Don't let me down Oilers fans! Let's hear what ya got.
There is a notion that many NHL teams are hesitant to select Russian born hockey players in the Draft because of the actions of a few players and the lure of the KHL. As a Russian born player, even though you played your junior hockey in North America, did you believe that this was the case in your draft year?
