LD Yegor Zamula (2018 undrafted; signed by PHI)

[57special]

And Rubtsov.

Anyone know what procedure he is going through? Discetomy, like Parise had? Hopefully something less invasive.

Doing anything with a bad back is near impossible.

U20 coach Bragin told that Zamula just had some kind of a birth defect, not an injury.

Interesting. I wonder if this should be looked at as a positive turn of events? Like is his outlook for recovery better knowing this is a situation going back to his birth rather than an injury?

I think so, an injury is usually worse than something like that.

Hope you are right. He's a nifty prospect.

Prior to the situation we’re all in rn Brent Flahr he might’ve had a chance to be ready for development camp in late June

 

[Caser]

Returning to Zamula's injury, he told in an interview that he was feeling back pains for a long time, but both in Canada and in Russia MRIs didn't show anything and only in Philadelphia after the WJC they did some deep diagnostics and found that there was a slight fracture of three vertebras. Now he is recovering and feeling well, but will start training again only in June.

Sucks he was playing for a while with the injury but at least he didn't lose too much development time relative to other prospects with the premature end to everyone's hockey season.

What are the Flyers plans with Zamula for this season, will he be loaned to the KHL and is he fully recovered from his injury?

 

[FlyguyOX]

He’s been in the bubble for the playoffs. Not sure if they’ll send him to KHL now or save for AHL.

Yes, fully recovered. He got some PT in the round robin

AHL might not happen at all, a young prospect like him should be playing somewhere.

 

[Prongo]

I think by them having him in the bubble and allowing him to play in the exhibition against Pittsburgh was an indicator they believe he could be close. I wouldn’t be surprised is they keep him up with the team this year.

They can loan him somewhere in Europe where they can call him back since the NHL season will likely start later. I still think he could use a year before he cracks an NHL roster and Philly is pretty deep on D, so it wouldn't be worst thing if he spends all season even in Europe given the Covid situation and those other factors.

Bourne is UFA, so there is a spot available. Competition is between Ghost, who could be traded based on his usage, Haag, Friedman, and Morin (not likely at this point), and Zamula for spots 6 and 7. If Ghost or another D gets traded, there is a spot for Zamula at 5, or 6. He wont be kept as a number 7. Haag and Friedman are both good number 7s.

[NJ Fan 12]

Any thoughts on his 17 games with the Phantoms?

[BMann]

Still out with a groin problem. Did he impress sufficiently at camp to be called up from Lehigh Valley ? I hope so. Bright prospect for Team Russia.

Everything I read he was one of Philly's steadier D in camp up until the injury. Flyer fans can weigh in, but if healthy and playing well I'd assume he's one of their first D callups when required.

Made the Flyers opening roster and so far leaves a decent impression.

Flyers fans, how's this kid doing so far?

I'm not a flyers fan, but Cam York will kick Zamula as soon as possible. Against York only one thing - Tort's system.
