“This is a mature decision by a professional athlete.” Zamula passed the waiver draft and received free agent status
Russian defenseman of “Pittsburgh” Egor Zamula went through the waiver draft procedure, the hockey player’s agent Dan Milstein reported on the X network.
Now the 25-year-old player has received free agent status, his contract with Pittsburgh has been terminated.
— On December 20, 2025, Egor Zamula contacted our agency with a clear and principled goal: to find an opportunity to return to the NHL as soon as possible and continue his career at the highest level.
After discussions with the Philadelphia Flyers, the Philadelphia Flyers gave us official permission to negotiate with other NHL teams. From the very beginning, Egor and I agreed that the situation could develop according to two realistic scenarios: moving to another club or terminating the existing contract and then signing a new agreement with the NHL.
All parties we spoke with were fully briefed on the player’s situation, including Pittsburgh, who acquired him via trade.
I would like to personally thank the management and administrative bodies of both organizations for their professional, transparent and very constructive work over the past seven days.
Having received permission, we discussed for a long time what would be the best fit for Yegor. As a result, he chose the club with which he would sign a contract in the NHL. An official announcement will follow shortly.
“This was a deliberate, mature decision by a professional athlete who chose long-term opportunities and the chance to remain in the NHL over short-term financial considerations,” Milstein said.
Zamula came to Pittsburgh from Philadelphia in a trade for Canadian forward Philip Tomasino. After that, the Russian defender was suspended due to failure to appear at the Pittsburgh farm club, and then put up for a waiver draft in order to terminate his contract.
In the 2025/26 season, Zamula scored 1 (0+1) point with a utility rating of “+4” in 13 matches for the Flyers.

The Ukrainian hockey championship match took place between the leader Sokol and the foreigner Krizhinka.
The meeting is expected to end in favor of the favorite, the score was 4:0. Sokol also managed to pin down his opponent only in the third period and scored three goals against the opponent.
The match was remembered when Krizhinka’s player Vasily-Yuriy Kachan lost consciousness on the bench. The hockey player was immediately sent to the hospital.
Additionally, the lights went out in the arena four minutes before the end, but the problem was quickly resolved and the match was completed.
Sokol is the leader, 4 points ahead of Kremenchug, with two games remaining against its rival and current champion.

A terrible situation occurred in the middle of the first period of the ongoing Ukrainian hockey championship match between Sokol and Krizhinka Capitals at the ATEK ice rink in Kiev. Krizhinka’s 27-year-old forward Vasily-Yuriy Kachan lost consciousness while on the bench.
Sokol doctor Elizaveta Khimich was the first to help the hockey player, who started this season in Sokol and was a two-time Ukrainian champion with this team. He was later joined by representatives of the ambulance team. At these moments, players, coaches and team staff looked very scared. Yuri’s beloved Elizaveta Ustinina, herself a former hockey player, watched the events in tears.
As a result, Kachan was conscious when he was carried on a stretcher to the ambulance.
We wish Yuri a speedy recovery.
After the first period, Sokol closed the match ahead 1-0. Denis Zherebko scored the only goal.
