Devils GM trying to sign Zacha amid KHL talk

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- New Jersey Devils general manager Ray Shero said he is still attempting to sign center Pavel Zacha amid concerns the former first-round draft pick will play in the Kontinental Hockey League this season.

Peppering his comments with profanities, Shero told The Associated Press on Monday that he doesn't care if Zacha signs with the KHL or with Brampton, an ECHL team. Shero said the Devils still retain the restricted free agent's rights after issuing him a qualifying offer this summer, and he hopes to get a deal completed with training camp opening this week.

Shero said he's unaware if Zacha has signed with a KHL team, although he adds that possibility was raised by the player's agent during a recent conversation.

Shero said playing in the KHL is "not the advice I would give him," and added that "it's a long way back to the NHL" if Zacha goes that route.

Zacha's agent, Patrik Stefan, did not immediately respond to several messages from the AP seeking comment.

Shero called Zacha an "important player" entering a key year in his development. He spoke while watching the Devils' third and final game at the Sabres' prospects tournament in Buffalo.

The 22-year-old Zacha is from the Czech Republic and had a career-best 13 goals in 61 games last season. Overall, he has 29 goals and 47 assists for 76 points in 201 career NHL games.
