Sure, why not?
The chances of the Dallas Stars ever employing a defenseman as talented as Sergei Zubov are slim. He never won a Norris Trophy as the best defenseman in the NHL. He isn't in the Hall of Fame, and without that hardware, there is a not insignificant chance he never will be. Whether the voters fix that or not is irrelevant to the fact that Zubov was great.
I've resisted the "pressure" to compare John Klingberg to Zubov not because Klingberg isn't a very good player, but because that is a really lofty comparison.
