Observations:

June 2012 - The Edmonton Oilers made sniper Daniil Zharkov their third round selection (91st overall) at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.  Zharkov finished the 2011-12 OHL season with 23 goals and 36 points in 50 games for the Belleville Bulls. Brendan Ross

March 2012  – The former USHLer is known for having a pair of slick hands and a deep repertoire of elusive moves. Amid a torrid scoring pace in December, Daniil Zharkov was being touted as an early-first round pick for the upcoming 2012 NHL Entry Draft. The tall Russian sniper recorded 15 goals in his first 17 games for the Belleville Bulls, before being snake bitten for his next 13 contests. John Canario

Fantasy Outlook: C
Despite tremendous skill, his inconsistency should raise a red flag. He carries some risk and could be a few years away from challenging for an NHL gig.
