The 23-year-old, a sixth-round pick of the Thrashers (No. 187) in 2005, spent the past two seasons playing in the KHL for Atlant. He had 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) in 55 games last season.
“I’m so happy,” Zubarev said recently while participating in voluntary workouts with the team. “It’s been a dream all my life. Now that I’m here, I’m so happy.”
The 6-foot-1, 205-pound Zubarev won silver medals in the 2006 and 2007 World Junior Championships with Russia.
